2-column layout with correct page breaks

Hi there,
I am trying to produce a 2-column layout in my form.
The problem is: These columns stretch over more than one page and I just cannot get the page breaks right.
I have a flowed layout with two adjacent subforms which form my columns. In these column subforms I fill lots of data from XML.
Problem 1 is: At the end of the page I miss about 5 lines. They vanish in the page break.
Problem 2 is: My second column starts getting filled only on the second page (which happens to be the page where the first column ends).
I also tried this with one table with exactly one row. But there all lines after the first page disappear and I get empty pages instead.
Has anyone ever come across this problem?
What is a good safe way to build dynamic 2-column forms?
Ulrich

Hi Paul,
the former. It is NOT like in a newspaper where the content runs from left to right from one column into the next and finally into the leftmost column of the next page.
Im my case the content of the 2 columns is completly separat from each other: The data in the left column is distincly left-column-only data. As is the data in the right column distinctly right-column-only data.
Actually it is not even sure, that the left column is longer than the right.
It is absolutly o.k. to have  3 pages where the left column is empty and only the right column is filled.
An example would be: Technical data of two articles to be compared: Left is the Mercedes-data and right is the BMW-data.

  • ALV to PDF conversion with a page break

    Friends,
        I have a need where I need to print ALV in PDF format with a page break. Any advice on how to do this ? Is it possible to print in PDF format in ver ECC 6.0 without using OTF conversion routine ?
    I tried to create a new device type PDF got an error in the spool when tried to print ?

        Hi Rohit ,
    I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
    I copied same under Myprojects as well.
    you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
    try to run from Jdeveloper .
    Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

  • How do I match the printed pdf page breaks with the page breaks from the online form?

    The online form is setup to be 4-5 separate pages...each page going to a different person/group when it is printed in a pdf. However, when the form is printed, it prints out all the blanks and the forms are off by about a half page.
    Is there any way to not print the blank spaces (I have several boxes hidden based on choices of the user), and to make the printed pdf honor the online page breaks?

    Hi;
    When you are viewing the "Design" while authoring your form there is a "View" setting that you can access from the "View" menu along the top right, or from the dropdown at the bottom right corner, if you change from "Web View" to "Page View" you can add page breaks there that will affect the PDF.
    Page View is an authoring view to design for PDF where Web View is an authoring View to design for web/browser/HTML forms.  You can use both so that your form looks good in both web and PDF.  Some features have to be added/edited in Web View because they are not supported in PDF such as Attatchments and Skip/Page logic, those are not available to add/edit in Page View.  The Page Breaks added in Web View are not used in the PDF, in Page View "Implicit page breaks" are added automatically based on the size of the page in PDF and you can add "Explicit page breaks" using the form field toolbar as you did in Web View (which will only be used in the PDF).
    When you ask if there is any way not to print the "blank spaces" you are referring to the questions that had remained hidden based on skip logic right?  At this time the entire form is saved/printed to PDF, there is not an option to omit those hidden fields.
    I hope that I understood your issue correctly, let me know if I can help further.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Problem with importing page breaks

    When I import text from WORD, Indesign adds an extra space after my manual page breaks. See pic.
    How do I change this setting?
    Thanks!

    Peter, yes, I placed the cursor right in front of the first letter in the line when I inserted the page break.
    Here's an answer I just got from a MS Office forum. I am led to assume that I will now have to fix this "empty paragraph" problem manually before I import any MS Word 2010 doc into InDesign...
    RE: Word 2010 adds a paragraph mark after my manual page breaks. Why?
    In previous versions of Word, you could have unintended results: if you changed the line immediately after the page break to a heading, the line before the page break would be formatted as a heading too because it belonged to the same paragraph. Automatically inserting a paragraph break prevents that, so for most users this will be an improvement. You can delete the extra paragraph breaks after inserting the page break.

  • This.layout with two pages and cover sheet

    Hello @all,
    in the documentation for the "doc properties" and "layout" section I only find the following strings:
    SinglePage
    OneColumn
    TwoColumnLeft
    TwoColumnRight
    TwoPageLeft
    TwoPageRight
    I set it for the active document with the following command in my JavaScript:
    this.layout = "TwoPageLeft";
    But what is the right entry/string, if I want the "two pages view" with an "single page"-cover sheet?
    That means, I need a command/string for my document where only the first page is in the middle and alone and the other pages (starts at the second page) must be two next two each other.
    Regards,
    Jessi

    And i suppose i could suppress any other fields from page one based on the same flag. But ideally as they layout is common i was hoping not to have to do a subreport to lay it all out again.
    Could i not based on a flag on the group footer or header say if this flag is true start a new page and then on the feilds the ones i want to hide or show say something like if page two and x is ture then show or hide as need be??

  • Printing the Output of ALV with out page breaks

    Dear all,
    I had a problem while taking printout in FBL1N transaction . wheever i am taking  a printout one block of ALV is coming in one page. The alv is grouped according to vendor and Company code. with is_sort-group = '*'.  I read so many forms and found that whenver a list is grouped with something then automatically it will be divided ino pages according to that. But my client requirement is if there are four records in the first group. the system will print the 4 records in the first page then the other records in another group are printed in the next page. but it should be printed like after the 4 records of the first group is over then it should start printing the next group records in the same page.
    I tried using the is_sort-group = 'UL' but the header of the list is getting suppressed with that.
    the variant is 1SAP
    can any one tell me how to handle the situation
    Thanks & regards
    sreehari p

    it is normal
    with * in group you generate a NEW-PAGE event which in turn executes the TOP-OF-PAGE (and print list header)
    with UL in group you don't generate a NEW-PAGE so no list header
    there is no other option

  • Cross tab sub report with vertical page breaks

    Hi have a report which contains 3 sub reports - different views of similar data. The sub report is wide enough to cover two landscape pages across and they run down over two pages
    The first subreport on page one does expand across into the secon landscape page, but does not repeat the row labels, although the settings in both main & subreport cross tab are to repeat
    The secon & third sub reports which print on the escon vertical page do not expand across to display any data, so I get no page four.
    They all have exactly the same settings.
    Is there any easy way to resolve this?

    hi Julie,
    this is i believe the nature of cross-tabs inside of subreports...horizontal expansion within the subreports is not a supported feature.
    you mentioned that the data is similar but just different views...is the query that each subreport runs off of bringing in the same record set? if so, is it possible to move the cross-tabs into the main report?
    are you using crystal reports 2008? if so, does changing the page setup for the entire report to a huge size and then the pagination for each section to landscape help?

    I have no idea what you mean by "sliding around", but could
    it have
    something to do with your missing old_break.css file?

  • Page-break in alv background job for alv output variant not coming correctl

    Hi,
    I have created an ALV grid report. When i run the report in background i get the output with correct page-break on FIELD1. Now when i run the report in background with an "ALV output variant" (its the ALV variant that controls the fields display in the output; this is not the program variant), i do not get the page-break on FIELD1.  I have already build the sort criteria and using:
    gs_sort-group = '* '.     "New-Page
    Please let me know what could be reason for not getting the page-break in background when i am using the alv output variant and how do i correct this problem.
    Regards,
    Rakesh

    Hello Everyone,
    I have solved the problem. While running the program in background, we get the page-breaks when we use the below part of code in the sort catalogue with the condition that the program variant should not use any ALV layout variant.
    gs_sort-group = '* '.     "New-Page
    If you are using the ALV layout variant in the program variant then we can check the ROWPOS, COLPOS, and NO_OUT for that ALV layout variant and pass them along in the fieldcatalog table. You should be careful with not to pass the layout variant in the DISVARIANT. You can notice that i have cleared it and simply passing the program name into that.
    *C-- Process separately for jobs running in Background. Actually
    *C-- sortcat-group solves the problem only in Foreground. In background
    *C-- when ALV layout variant is not selected then it works otherwise it
    *C-- fails. So for background jobs we are reading the fieldcat and then
    *C-- passing the same in the display FM.

        gs_disvariant-report = 'ZGPPMP0001'.
    Then pass gt_fieldcat to 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
    The reason i'm doing it this way is that when we pass the layout variant name, the contents in gt_fieldcat were getting modified.
    One more thing i'd like to point out is that that, i tried to delete the fields with no_out = 'x'. Now when i ran the program in background with all the fields in sort catalog (suppose there are 2 fields field1 and field2) also in fieldcatalog it ran fine. In the next run in background i removed one of the fields in sort catalog from the fieldcatalog (delete the fields with no_out = 'x') and i got dump. Basically i had hidden field1 and so the code which was deleting fields with no_out = 'x' deleted this field from gt_fieldcat. So basically we should not delete fields with no_out = 'x'.
    I was getting ABAP runtime errors    MESSAGE_TYPE_X in the following part of the standard code.
    000310     LOOP AT CT_SORT INTO LS_SORT.
    000320
    000330       READ TABLE IT_FIELDCAT ASSIGNING <LS_FIELDCAT>

    000370       ENDIF.
    000380
    000390       LS_SORT-SELTEXT = <LS_FIELDCAT>-SELTEXT.
    i have just mentioned this part because when i checked the forum many people were getting such errors "MESSAGE_TYPE_X". This could also be one of the reasons.

  • Search and Replace "Column Break" with "Page Break"?

    Hi,
    I have been using the "column break" where I really should have been using the "page break". The page break just makes more sense in my layout.
    Is there anyway to search and replace the column break with a page break?
    Thanks,

  • Problem with Page Break In ALV Report

    Hi
    I have got a problem in my ALV report. I have a checkbox in the user input screen where users decide whether they want a page break or not in the print preview (or print) page. Now i also have the option to have layout name in the input screen. so If i leave the layout box empty the check or not check of page break works fine. but if use a save layout name in the layout box the add check box doesn't work anymore. If i have a layout name in the layout box it doesn't matter whether i have checked for page break or not it does the same thing.(in one report it always puts the page breaked)
    Any ideas where to look for the error?
    here is the code for the page break. Opt5 is the check box.
      perform build_sort tables pt_sort changing ls_sort.
      ls_sort-fieldname = 'PERNR'.
      ls_sort-subtot    = 'X'.
    IF OPT5 = 'X'.
       ls_sort-GROUP = '*'.
      ENDIF.
      append ls_sort to pt_sort.
      ls_sort-subtot    = ' '.
      ls_sort-GROUP = ''.

    Never mind it was acting like the page break was not working because the layout was saved with the page break on/OFF.

  • How to export pdf from numbers with page breaks

    I am trying to export a pdf from numbers that contains page breaks.  When i print the page breaks are created for printing automatically and i like scrolling with no page breaks while working on spreadsheet.  But, if export pdf the file becomes one long scrolling page.  Which is good on screen but when email recipient tries to print, it prints to a single page and type face is impossibly tiny to read.  I would like to export a view in which page breaks are included but can not seam to find the process (i have recently switched  from excel to numbers).

    One thing you might try (if you haven't already) is to pretend you are printing your numbers document, but after you press the "Print..." button (perhaps after doing the "Print setup" thing) do "Save as PDF" instead of just printing it.  Presumably, this gives you the PDF that is used to do the print job.

  • How to remove page breaks in converted document

    This is probably more a Microsoft Word problem, but it started out as an InDesign document, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to post the question here in case someone else has encountered a similar problem.
    I formatted an epub on Amazon for my job. Since I am more familiar with InDesign, I used it along with Amazon's script to turn it into an epub.
    Since then, I've noticed the cover has inexplicably rotated 90 degrees on Amazon. I asked about it in Amazon's forums, and they said InDesign isn't really reliable for epubs.
    So I'm trying to recreate everything in Word. The original Word document isn't up to date with all the editing and corrections I did, so I exported each InDesign chapter document into a PDF, then used Adobe Acrobat to save each PDF as a Word document.
    Some of the resulting Word documents seem to be littered with multiple page breaks and/or section breaks. I'm able to delete most of them, but some of them fall right in the middle of a sentence and won't delete. I've selected the paragraph icon in the ribbon to turn on invisible characters, and I can't see a page or section break indicated in most of these breaks.
    Anyone know what might be causing these and how to delete them?
    Maybe I should just copy everything from my InDesign documents and paste them into Word instead?
