Adobe Print form table overflow

[Former Member]

HI Gurus,

I have a problem with my adobe print form, as I am inserting a table in the main window, I have selected the flowed layout, if the table is printed in more than one page, then at the end of the first page, I need to insert a text called "Continued". I am struck at this, as I dont know how to do this at the run time without knowing the number of pages at the context level.

I need to print one logo on the first page and another one on the second page etc... for this I need to know the number of pages and page numbers.

In smartforms or sapscripts , we have a structure to know the number of pages upfront. Is there any way that I will be knowing the number of pages and page numbers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,

Srinivas.

1) you can prepare everything in your backend, example: you know the height of the page and the height of the row ==>> you know how many rows you have on one page and you can create a table of tables, where you will have a table of pages and on each pages only those rows which fit into the page etc. etc.

2) you can use scripting to make the form more dynamic, during runtime the scripts are launched (through events) and they can control the behavior and appearance of the form (size, visibility of the elements, colors etc.).

The guides for 2 languages are here:

Hi Otto,

Thanks for the answer. I am little bit confused. what did you mean by table of tables and table of pages. In my form, I have two master pages. so, the main table height will vary. At the end of the table , I need to sum the amount values and display them. How can I do this.

Thanks,

Srinivas.

You cannot create a table of tables? In data dictionary wrap a table table into a table type as a row?

Why exactly do you think two master pages will help? I don´t understand what you´re going to accomplish here.

Why don´t you sum in the backend? It is always better to do maths in backend/ ABAP (like have a table where a row is a structure with INT field sum and TABLE of rows on which the sum is based = a table inside a table again).

Or you can use scripting to manipulate the form, as I mentioned above.

By the way, I wonder if you´re going to earn some points helping the other people around so you will prove yourself worth helping. This is how it works here, regards Otto
