Preface

About This Book

This book is like having two books in one. The first half of the book is devoted to working with Adobe Acrobat on both Windows and the Macintosh. The second half of the book is devoted entirely to LiveCycle Designer ES, which is a Windows-only program. In Chapter 20 we provide some guidance for using LiveCycle Designer ES on an Intel Macintosh computer using virtual desktop software, the Windows operating system, and the Windows version of Acrobat Pro.

Most of the chapters in the first part of the book include screenshots from Acrobat running under Windows. The user interface is closely matched between Windows and the Macintosh; therefore, Macintosh users will find the same options in dialog boxes and menu commands as found in the screenshots taken on a Windows machine. Where significant differences occur, you'll find additional screenshots taken on a Macintosh to distinguish the differences.

With the exception of Chapter 20, the second half of the book shows screen shots take on Windows only. Because LiveCycle Designer ES is a Windows application, you'll fine no images taken on the Macintosh.
