5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for PDF Forms Developers, April 24, 2009

By	Dimitri - See all my reviews

This review is from: PDF Forms Using Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer Bible (Paperback)

I've spent the last couple months using the PDF Forms Bible and have found it to be an invaluable resource for creating e-forms with Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer. I highly recommend this book for anyone from beginners to advanced users of Acrobat who are creating interactive forms. This book covers A to Z just about all the topics, features, and issues you'll come across while creating and deploying your form. I especially like that both PDF forms technologies (AcroForms and XFA Forms) are covered and explained, as this has been a source of great confusion in the Acrobat community. If you are a PDF forms designer or want/need to become one for your work, this is a MUST have book in your toolkit. The ROI for this reference will be almost immediate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Didactic, March 30, 2009

By	Mattress Mack - See all my reviews

This review is from: PDF Forms Using Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer Bible (Paperback)

The first half of the book is about Acrobat AcroForms and the second is about LiveCycle Designer XFA forms. Both halves cover their respective subject in excellent detail with a good balance of tutorial, step-by-step procedures, illustrations, and sample files on the CD to supplement the text. The two authors set out to publish a comprehensive book about PDF forms, and that's exactly what they have accomplished. See the Table of Contents.

Kudos, also, to the copy and other editors. They obviously put in some work, which is why this book reads like English with familiar spelling and grammar. The sample files on the CD are indispensable and the PDF copy of the book enabled me to read it in huge typeface so that I didn't have to squint like I was searching for molecules.

I would gladly have paid $100 for this book. For this novice, it reads like Agatha Christie and this review has distracted me long enough. Excuse me...

2.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, August 31, 2009

By	coyote - See all my reviews

This review is from: PDF Forms Using Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer Bible (Paperback)

I bought this book to learn to fix the java code in some forms I have to use. On page 515 it shows the calculation adding three numbers. The total is wrong. I need a simple subtract field which is not in the calculations tab and so I have to write the code. This book tells you to look at codes in other documents to see how java code should be written. This book s too complex for most people and at the same time doesn't give me the information I need.
