With Acrobat 7 on mac there is no form designer. It's windows only. How do i create forms? and have barcodes change based on form data on the mac?

I don't understand why Adobe would make this tool windows only. We use adobe form designer (acrobat 7) to turn every document into a nice form. Can I create this on my mac? Anyone have experience designing forms in PDF acrobat 7 for mac?

Don't want to hijack the thread but how hard was the ACSA test to you? I have no idea why Adobe wouldn't get their arses in gear and ship out Acrobat for Mac with feature parity with windows. Ticks me off really.

acsa isn't "horrible" but it's not super easy. I'd say if you consider yourself a mac os x guru you could pass it with a week of studying up on OS X server.

**uck Adobe. I'd like a comment from an Official Adobe represenative.

Why is there NO form designer for Mac OS X? WHY?

Anyone in the know wanna comment? The best features of Acrobat and the only ones worth buying it for are the FORMS. Why in gods name can't you create them "nicely" on a Mac.

Have you tried asking Adobe? I somehow doubt swearing at them on someone elses web site is going to get you an official comment . . .
