IN THIS PART
Chapter 20: Using LiveCycle Designer on the Macintosh
Chapter 21: Introducing LiveCycle Designer
Chapter 22: Getting Familiar with the Designer Workspace
This part leaves Acrobat Forms and begins our journey through LiveCycle Designer. Because Designer is a Windows-only application, in Chapter 20 we talk about how Macintosh users can install Designer on an Intel Mac. In Chapter 21 we start covering the basics of learning Designer and some of the differences you'll find between Designer forms and Acrobat Forms. In Chapter 22 we explore the Designer workspace and talk about tools, menu commands, and palettes.
