Acrobat Professional version 7 � NO FORMS? WTF?

Creating New Forms have been around Acrobat since version 4 atleast! Now they made it so that only windows computers have this feature with "Designer"? WTF?

Please tell me there is a way to create new forms in this version without "Designer". I can't believe my company just paid for this version if it can't do this.

It sure seems to be true. Bizarre, isn't it? I hope there's some other tool that can make forms under Mac OS X. What a ripoff.

You don't need designer to create the forms, it's just a nice applications (windows only) that creates them all for you including the automatic calculations.

On mac just use the normal Adobe Acrobat Application and under the menu Add? (Can't remember) just add a new form element.

It's easy on mac, but easier on windows. Both platforms support all the functionality, it's just that windows has a simplier "more mac like way" of laying out the forms and performing calculations.

That sucks. Any idea where I can find a good tutorial or book on how to do this on the Mac? I'm officially miffed about this.
