Re: problems with dynamic forms created with LiveCycle when exported to pdf

By default, LiveCycle now known as Form Designer creates XFA forms (dynamic
and not PDF). The language issue is a long standing one as LiveCycle/Form
Designer adds language by country rather than by language (Canada, United
States, France rather than English or French. This could be part of the
language issue.

The inaccurate reading of radio button Tooltips is also a long standing
issue with XFA forms from LiveCycle/Form Designer) even if you save the form
as a static PDF.

Both have been extensively logged as bugs over the years.

I recommend creating forms in Acrobat in order to have optimal access to any
accessibility features/techniques/tools.
