Page overflow

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a pdf that contains two tables .

The pdf is constructed in the following way:

Page

-> subform_1 acting as company header

-> subform_2 acting as table

-> subforms_3 acting as table

The size of the table in subforms_2 and subform_3 is identical.

When I run the app and the number of rows grow to more than 4 lines, subform_2 overruns subform_3.

This happens even if there is still enough space on the page to show both table adquately

Thank you

regards

Hi Yuval,

Make your 2nd and 3rd subform as flowed and check 'Allow page breaks within content' for the tables. If they are already flowed subforms, then wrap all three subforms in another subform which is flowed.

Hi Sanoosh

I have followed your instructions and wrapped everthing in a subform whose content is flowed.

Yet the attribute 'allow page break' is read only.

The content of the page is positioned and allows for page break

What must I do now ?

Hi Sanoosh

I managed to follow youir instructions and indeed it works but for some reason now I cannot move the subforms around.

I wanted to lay them nicely out on the page buit they remain hooked to their position.

U suppose this is because subform is flowed and not position?

Thank you for your help

Hi yuval,

Yes, if the subform is flowed, it's content will be disposed automatically and not "positioned". Nevertheless you can arrange your subforms nicely using combining positioned and flowed subforms. It depends on your form design what you have to do. If you post your form design perhaps I can help you.

HI ALDO

Yes I already understood that.

I had to tweak the form a bit until I understood how it works.

Very complicated. Goes against any intuition ...

Well ok.

Thank you very muc

Hi Yuval,

In a flowed subform you will not be able to move the fields. I hope your subform1 contains only header details and you can make it positioned. Then you will be able to arrange the fields as per requirement. Make subform2 and subform3 which contains only tables as flowed.

Hi Sanoosh

Thank you for your help

One more question: my first subform is the company header.

In case of page overflow, how do I make the company header appear also on the subsequent page?

Hi Yuval,

Give the company header in the master page to make it appear in all subsequent pages.

Hi Sanoosh

Do you mean I must move the header subform into the master page not the page it sits in right now?

Yes Yuval, If you want to replicate the static subform in all your subsequent pages then you have to move it into the master page.

Hi Sanoosh

Thank you for your assistance.

A question if I may:

I am using adobe lifecycle designer 7.1 and I have a form the user hasd to fill in.

I have a btton there. Every time the user presses the button, a new line has to be added to the form.

I used Subform1 -

---

> flowed

Subform2 -

---

> flowed repeat

onClick: Subform1.Subfrm2.instanceManager.addInstance(1);

but nothing happens. Any idea wy?

regards

yuval
