LiveCycle Rights Management ES4 LiveCycle Rights Management is an enterprise Digital Rights Management (EDRM) product that provides data centric security with user access and control policies to various types of data including PDF and Flash Video - and also native formats including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management Portable Protection Library Portable Protection Library also lets you unprotect documents and review them for common use cases and workflows. You can compile Portable Protection Library into other projects and products to facilitate low-latency operations that do not require an exchange of documents with the LiveCycle server.
Secure Electronic Delivery (SED) is a service created in 2003 and provided by the British Library Document Supply Service (BLDSS). Its purpose is to enable faster delivery of digital materials as encrypted, copyright-compliant PDF Documents, to a personal e-mail address. These documents are supplied from the British Library via its On Demand service.[1][2] When the British Library supplies articles electronically, it sends them securely in order to ensure its usage is permitted (research purposes) and copyright law is observed.
Methods[edit]
As the publishing industry, authors and creators become highly protective of their assets and intellectual property, they impose strict rules on delivery methods to prevent copyright infringement. Nowadays, DRM-enabled secure delivery appears to be the most widely used solution to address issues faced by libraries in supplying ebooks and digital materials to their users.[3][4] SED, one of these solutions, is using Adobe LiveCycle Digital Rights Management (LCDRM) as an encryption method to deliver documents.[5]
Advantages[edit]
SED offers convenience, quality and speed as documents are delivered upon request at any location and on any device. Requested articles are scanned for high quality reproduction, opened anywhere on any machine, including mobile devices.[6]
Restrictions[edit]
The following are restrictions hold in a SED service implementation:
- The digital material is accessible only for 14 days via a link sent to a personal message.
- Due to copyright reasons,[7] the material can be opened only once, saved for 14 days and does not allow a copy-paste action.
- Upon display, the material must be printed from the same device and reprinted only once.
- The On Demand encryption technology works best on the default Safari browser although other browsers may accommodate it.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer is a forms authoring tool published by Adobe Systems, intended as a one-stop design tool to render XML forms as PDF or HTML files.
History[edit]
Designer began as a component of PerForm, an Electronic forms software package created by Delrina. Delrina was bought by Symantec in 1995, which subsequently sold its Electronic Forms division to JetForm in 1996. JetForm (later renamed Accelio) was purchased by Adobe in 2002. Adobe ended the support of the Accelio version of the product in 2004.
In late 2003, Designer was redesigned and released as the Adobe Forms Designer.
In March 2004, Adobe shipped Adobe Designer 6.0 for use with Adobe's Intelligent Document Platform and with version 6 of the Adobe Acrobat software. This release included support for creating dynamic forms with data propagated by the Adobe Form Server, support for the XML Data Package (XDP) file format, as well as importing existing forms from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Output Designer, Microsoft InfoPath and Microsoft Word.
In December 2004, Adobe released Designer as Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0 as part of the LiveCycle suite of products. This release added the ability to create dynamic forms that do not require the Adobe Form Server for dynamic features, tools for creating Email submissions, and the Paper Forms barcode tool. Designer 7.0 is bundled with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 (on Microsoft Windows only) and available as a stand-alone product. In December 2005, Adobe released Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 as a stand-alone upgrade. Acrobat 8 shipped in November 2006 bundled with a new version of LiveCycle Designer (version 8).
LiveCycle Designer was included with Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9. It is included in Adobe Acrobat X Pro as Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, but it is sold separately since Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. However, owners of a prior licensed version of Acrobat Professional who qualify for and purchase an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI Professional also qualify for a [http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-livecycle-designer-acrobat-xi.html free upgrade to LiveCycle Designer ES4.
The core support for Adobe LiveCycle ES4 ended March 2018. Adobe suggests upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager Forms.[1]

Features[edit]
Download Adobe Livecycle
- Designer forms are structured documents with a hierarchical structure that can be converted into XML. This structure can include structure from XML Schema and example XML files.
- Designer forms can be saved as PDF files or XDP files. XDP files are used by the Adobe LiveCycle Form Server to render files to PDF or HTML as needed.
- PDF forms made in Designer can be designed to be dynamic (changing layout in response to data propagated from other sources), interactive (capable of accepting user input) or both. As of Designer 7.0, dynamic features of these PDF forms can be manipulated by the Adobe Form Server during the rendering process, or by the Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader client during viewing.
- Designer allows JavaScript to be embedded into a form, allowing programmatic changes to the form layout as well as communication with various data sources (SOAP, OLEDB).
- Besides JavaScript, Designer includes a proprietary scripting language called FormCalc (in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2).
Limitations[edit]
Adobe Livecycle Rights Management Wikipedia 2017
- Designer works on a Windows only platform.
- Viewing PDF forms made with Designer requires Acrobat/Adobe Reader 6.0.2 or later.
- PDF forms made with Designer cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat, only viewed.
- Some features of Designer forms are dependent on 'user rights' activated through the Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions server product. This applies to all PDFs, even ones created with Acrobat and other 3rd party vendors.
- Acrobat has been able to make forms since Acrobat 3.0, and there are some third party tools which can work with them in addition to Adobe software. However, these are a type of form now called acroforms. Forms created by Designer are an incompatible type (commonly XFA forms) and are not in general compatible with existing non-Adobe software. Owners of Acrobat 7.0 Professional have the choice of making acroforms directly, or using the bundled (on Windows) copy of Designer to create XFA forms.
- When a form object is bound to an xmlnode, the value from that node may only be extracted once. If several objects share the same binding, only the first object will receive the node value when the form is processed.
- There are limitations in the ability of Designer to parse HTML and display it in a form; Designer cannot handle a number of fundamental tags, including ordered list, unordered list and tables. (see https://web.archive.org/web/20150706161930/http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/xml/xfa_spec_2_8.pdf page 1081 for supported tags)[citation needed]
- The program has had a constant issue with users being able to set the tabbing order correctly. The system often reorders the entire form causing the user to have to start over. This problem has never been corrected but can be reduced by the user ensuring every field has a unique name (i.e. Yes/No Radio 1, Yes/No Radio 2, etc.).[2]
- While Livecycle Designer may be the best tool available for Windows users to build dynamic pdf forms, it is known to have a lot of bugs and Adobe does not give it the level of support that it does other applications. Due to this, it does require a learning curve to both reduce and effectively handle the different bugs.[3]
