What is Adobe LifeCycle Designer?
The SAP Adobe LifeCyle Designer is a tool that you use to define both the layout and logic of a form. The program of the company ADOBE is independent of SAP. You use Adobe Lifecyle Designer to create forms for mobile devices that adapt to different screen sizes. You create forms that are optimized for both print and the Web. The designer is a component that is installed locally.
The Adobe LiveCycle Designer tool is integrated with both ABAP Workbench and SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.
For the SAP environment, although it is an external tool, the Adobe LifeCycle Designer for SAP is fully integrated into transaction SFP.
