Adobe LiveCycle Designer by J.P. Terry

Creating Dynamic Forms with Designer
LiveCycle Designer is a Windows based program that provides all of the tools you need to create basic or sophisticated forms...
This book basically is the How-To Manual for creating interactive, dynamic and powerful PDF forms!  It takes you from beginning to end in creating rich, robust forms for any given situation, with all the features of design and graphics that you could imagine. 
I personally feel that this application is underrated due to the other stellar products from Adobe, however, most of its functionality is complimentary to other online venues, but it does command the respect for "B2C" regions.
An interesting note is that you can use "generic" .PDF forms in Designer, but you can't access "Adobe's XFA" (Adobe's XML Forms Architecture..) .PDF forms in other .PDF programs.  So even though its native language is XML, its native communication is set apart only for those in the Adobe family!
There are a great number of samples and templates to choose from, so if you just want to take an existing script (they actually encourage you to...) or create one on your own, this is the program for you.
So if you have Adobe Acrobat 7 or 8, Designer comes with, but as stated earlier, this program has minimal exposure, but its capabilities are powerful and extremely user-friendly.
I recommend this book for all those who favor data more than content or design, and for those who want to create a more dynamic way to interact with your potential or existing clients, and display the information quickly and more effienciently.

    PDF forms, dynamic PDF forms .... I didn't know such a thing was possible, since as far as I know PDF forms are static. I can't wait to read this book to see what you mean. I run a speed dating site in New Jersey, and I am always looking for new ways that technology, such as dynamic forms, can help me.
