I've created a moderately complex fillable form using LiveCycle Designer ES4. After completing the form, users click the form's Submit button to email their data (in XML format) back to us. Upon receipt of the XML attachment, we use Adobe Acrobat X to import the data back into a blank copy of the form. It works well. However, our IT dept. says we must decommission Adobe Acrobat X and move to Adobe Acrobat DC (they are not keen on moving to Adobe Acrobat XI because they think that it will also soon reach the end of its support life). Adobe Acrobat DC is supposedly capable of importing form data (as explained here) but I can't get it to work. I make it as far as the second step in the "Import form data" section of that Adobe help file, then I'm hit with this error message: "This form cannot be edited in Adobe Acrobat DC, Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." That's a confusing message, in that I'm not trying to "edit" the form; I just want to import data into the form. LCD ES4 can't import data, so it looks like I'm stuck. Can anyone suggest a viable workaround?
