Repeating subform on each page in Adobe Forms

Former Member

Hello all,

I created an Adobe Form, where the body is splitted in subforms (all flowed).

But now, I want that the first subform must be showed on each page on the Adobe Form. A masterpage cannot be used, because soms field have no data and are not showed on the PDF.

Does anyone know how the first subform of the body can repeat on each page?

Kind regards,

Pieter

Hi Pieter,

just put the subform in a table and mark it as header. So you are able to repeat it on every page.

Afterwards of course on table-line which all the rest is in.

Hi Florian,

Thanks for your solution, it's solved.

But now, on the second page is more white space in the subform.

Do you know the solution for this issue ?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

hmm.. it is hard to identify without having the form in front. But maybe you have a reserved height in there. Unfortunally I do not have access to a system right now, so I can't add a screen.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Yes I know what you're talking about, but the height is not defined..

I solved it. Now only existing values are from the table are showed, and no white spaces anymore.

Thanks for your solution.

Kind regards,

Florian,

Did you have access to a system? I have a new requirement for my Adobe Form.

Now NAME2 is in the address box (header of the table and repeated on each page). When NAME2 is empty, on the first page NAME2 is not showed and other fields are all moved up, like:

  • NAME1
  • NAME3
  • ...

But for the rest of the pages it's like this:

  • NAME1
  • NAME2 (is empty -> white space)
  • NAME3
  • ...


A white space is between NAME1 and NAME3 and the other fields are not moved up.. The subform is Flowed.


Do you know a solution for this?

Hi Pieter,

have you tried to put a small IF-Condition into the fields?

Sometimes out of a reason I cannot really explain in just a view words I also got similar problems.

Normally it is solved with the small construct:

Here is an example

Formcalc at the event form.ready or if it is possible initialize:


$.presence = "hidden"

if (HasValue($)) then

$.presence = "visible"

endif

And yes, I got access to a system now, because my holiday ended

Florian,

I already tried in Javascript for initialize and from.ready methods..

Now, I tested in Formcalc but the output is the same.

On the next pages:

So, on all the next pages a white space still appears..

Kind regards,

Pieter
