I have a workflow that requires the development of forms in LiveCycle (using Designer ES2) - but in the review process also requires highlights to the specific words/items that have changed. We save the LiveCycle form as static PDFs, and then we highlight the relevant items in Acrobat X. You can open the marked-up version in LiveCycle, and even though you get a warning the highlights will remain. Today's problem was:
Worked on form in LiveCycle
Saved as static
Highlighted relevant items
Oh, no, discovered an error - opened marked up form in LiveCycle
Made changes, incl. moving previously highlighted text to new location
Saved again as static
Opened form in Acrobat
Could NOT DELETE previous highlight to account for replacement of text. Had big comment field with no text where it had previously been placed. It would look like we deleted it, but when we saved, closed, and opened the form again in Acrobat - there it was again.
The ultimate work-around was to open the form in LiveCycle, save as dynamic (and thereby removing all higlights), open again in LiveCycle, save as static and then reapply all highlights in Acrobat.
This has not been a problem before. Any suggestions? Also, any suggestions for a more efficient workflow that includes highlights?
