System requirements

How To Get Started

There are three options available for trying LiveCycle ES software. Select the option that best suits your needs and follow the required steps as indicated:

  1. We have a turnkey option with the JBoss download which is ideal for evaluation purposes. This will install the application server, database, and samples with just a few mouse clicks.

    As part of the turnkey installation you will be asked if LiveCycle PDF Generator ES should be configured for native file conversions. This feature can convert Microsoft Word, Excel, and many other file formats to PDF files. To configure LiveCycle PDF Generator ES for this purpose, a licensed copy for Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Extended should be installed on the server.

    If you do not already own a valid copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional Extended, follow these instructions to use a free trial version of the software for 30 days.

    1. Before starting the installation of LiveCycle ES Update 1, download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Professional Extended. Install this trial version of Acrobat before running the LiveCycle installer.
    2. During the LiveCycle ES Update 1 installation process, answer "yes" when asked if native file conversions are required. You will see a message that shows that the correct version of Acrobat was detected.
    3. After the installation and configuration steps are complete your trial version of Acrobat will be running. You will have 30 days to test the software before a licensed version is purchased.

    Note: The trial version requires a manual dialog box acknowledgement each time it is restarted. To acknowledge the trial software navigate to the main console for the server and click "OK" at the trial version prompt.

  2. Retrieve the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES certificate. The LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES certificate is referenced by our samples and is needed for Reader Extensions functionality. The certificate is updated each month.
  3. Visit the LiveCycle ES documentation page to get installation and configuration documents.
  4. Developer questions around the LiveCycle technology may be posted on the Adobe user-to-user forums for LiveCycle.
  5. Follow along in the step by step tutorial Creating Your First LiveCycle ES Application and learn how to develop an application using LiveCycle Workbench ES which is provided in the LCESU1 trial software download file. Be sure to download the Collateral that goes along with this tutorial.
