Design templates for use with LiveCycle Forms ES and LiveCycle Output ES
Using Adobe® LiveCycle® Designer ES software, you can create form and document templates that combine high-fidelity presentation with XML data handling. This gives you the ability to create dynamic forms that closely mirror the paper forms they will replace. A unified design environment with an intuitive graphic interface makes it easy to quickly design and maintain templates, define business logic, and preview them in real time before they are deployed.
Templates can be dynamically rendered as interactive forms in PDF, HTML, and SWF using Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES software. Or they can generate personalized print or electronic documents in PDF, PostScript®, PCL, or Zebra label formats with Adobe LiveCycle Output ES software.
You can also support XML data and schema bindings, enhance document security with template designs for digital signatures, and enable compliance with government accessibility requirements for online forms and documents.

Generate form guides
LiveCycle Designer ES speeds the development of dynamic Adobe Flash® Player compatible form guides, which help users step through a form-filling process in a logical sequence to help ensure the information entered is valid, accurate, and complete. Form guides replace the traditional paper or PDF form with an online experience that is intuitive and engaging. The result is that people will be more engaged with the process and less likely to abandon the transaction. To provide the highest degree of flexibility, users can save a PDF version of the form on their local hard drive and complete it offline at their convenience, and then submit the completed form when back online.
Data captured by the form guide can be extracted and driven through an automated process using Adobe LiveCycle Process Management ES software. For example, captured information can be automatically routed to a manager for approval and then follow a predefined process flow that leads all the way to process completion and even automatic archiving in back-end systems. This also applies to synchronous processes in which data can be validated with only LiveCycle Forms ES.
Improve efficiency with form fragments
A form fragment is a collection of fields or objects that are grouped together for a purpose. Using fragments makes it easy to create and assemble forms and documents. For example, you could have prebuilt fragments for your company description, address block, financial information, and so on. Whenever a new form needs to be created, you can pull together predefined fragments rather than creating a form from scratch one field or object at a time.
Fragments are also useful when you are updating large collections of form templates. A mortgage company, for example, might update a logo used on hundreds of forms. Or a government institution might need to comply with a new regulation that affects a specific section on thousands of different forms. Form fragments are stored in a file system or in the LiveCycle ES repository and are referenced by XML templates created in LiveCycle Designer ES. Any time a fragment is updated, the templates that reference it are automatically updated as well.
Leverage printed document support
LiveCycle Designer ES includes features for designing static and dynamic document layouts for use with LiveCycle Output ES. By incorporating the layout and print control features into a business process, forms and documents created with these layout features can be rendered or printed in a variety of formats — including PDF, PCL, PostScript, or Zebra label — without compromising the design intent. Capabilities include definition of duplex formatting and media (paper tray) intent, flexible device configuration, dynamically adjustable layouts that grow or shrink pagination automatically based on merged data content and volume, document spell-checking, and sample test page generation.
