Creating forms from scratch

Adobe LiveCycle Designer is a client-based point-and-click graphical form design tool

that simplifies the creation of form designs for deployment as Adobe PDF or HTML

forms. LiveCycle Designer lets you create a new blank form or create a new form from a

template. You also have the option to explore sample forms. Using LiveCycle Designer,

form authors can drag and drop images and other objects, such as list boxes, drop-down

lists, and command buttons, onto their forms. They can design a form, define its logic,

modify it to match paper counterparts or meet strict legislative requirements, and then

preview the form before deploying it.

Acrobat also offers several features that simplify the process of putting together an entire

form but has less form-authoring features and abilities than LiveCycle Designer. With

Acrobat you can precisely place and align form fields on a page using grids, guides, and

rulers. For details, see

To start LiveCycle Designer using Acrobat and create a new blank form:

1. Choose Create New Form from the Forms pop-up menu in the Tasks toolbar.

2. Click OK in the Create New Form dialog box.
