You can't buy LCRE without a full LiveCycle ES server installation. It doesn't run on desktop machines, and prices for a complete ES license start at five figures plus the costs of a server to host it.

I'm talking about Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer.If you're opening a file from inside a browser window, make sure you've saved a copy to a sensible place on your local hard drive before editing it. You can't save back to the server.

Make sure you don't have the folder open in Windows Explorer with the 'preview' area enabled.

LiveCycle ES pricing is not published. Contracts are negotiated per-client by Adobe Sales staff, based on the specific customer requirements.What I can say is that for enterprise LCDRM setups you should be thinking of five figures USD.

BIG CAVEAT!!Applying extended rights using Adobe Acrobat Pro limits you to 500 responses as per Acrobat's EULA.If you require more than that, you must use LiveCycle's Reader Extensions module. Simply owning a copy of LC doesn't give you any extra permissions, it's all down to which software product applied the rights.http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Extension_Policy_A10-5-31-2011.pdf

You can't flatten an XFA file in Acrobat or Reader (Acrobat cannot edit XFA files at all). You can only flatten PDFs (AcroForms), and without jumping through some very complicated hoops involving EchoSign, you can only do it in Acrobat.Preventing someone else from altering a completed form is why digital signatures were invented. There's no other way.You can't force a document to close itself.You can't disable any of the menu items; unless the form has been signed it will always be possible to c...

Moved from Acrobat to the LiveCycle forums - you cannot use Acrobat as part of an automated service.

Blank forms are not in general terms protected by copyright law. Even if the form has a lot of design flourishes, it's still considered a tool to collect data.Some elements of the form may hold copyright in and of themselves, for example:a logotype element on the page may have protection via trademarka graphical design element or photograph may have standalone copyrighta block of original text used on the form (by way of explanation, etc.) can be considered a copyrightable work in isolation prov...

@Niall :Your login credentials for community forum sites are not necessarily linked to an Adobe ID - for example with acrobatusers.com they're entirely different, which is why Cafe asks for two sets. I guess eventually they could be linked, but doing so would raise a privacy concern for many users as the community servers are hosted and managed external to Adobe, and sharing of IDs and passwords with external sites isn't in the privacy agreement you agree to when creating an Adobe ID. The more p...

Futher hacking reveals it's worse than that - there's a race condition in the chat code that's pushing the thing to 100% resources, which is why the scrollbar's not responding.
