I downloaded the file and, opened AAP, then opened the doc in aap via doc open. Double clicking didnât work, nor did setting the the application/pdf-x to open with acrobat. (defaulted to preview) Adobe Acrobat Pro is available as part of the Adobe CC subscription. Researching the file: it is generated by Adobe Lifecycle and is a live XFA form â in short you can print it, edit it but not save it as a regular pdf or export as text. the pdf document itself is just a wrapper, the form that appears is live.
