Adobe Form Repeat a Subform Every Page

Hello Adobe Forum,
I'm an SAP user and am creating an Adobe form (my first). I posted this in an SAP forum, but have yet to receive any feedback whatsoever so I thought it may be better to go to the Adobe experts themselves. I've run into an Adobe issue and am just spinning and spinning trying different techniques to make it work. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
In my content area I have three subforms. The first subform is positioned, the fields have to be placed correctly. The second subform is fundamentally a table header for the third subform, which is the rows of the data. All three subforms are wrapped in another subform that is flowed.
Why would I do it like this? Well, the table in the third subform has control levels so it merges like rows nicely in this way when the first column rows are the same...
So the first page of my document would look like this...which is what I want.
H is repeated for every page. So it is on the Master page. That's easy.
1 is the 'sub-header' and should only be on the first page. This works.
2 looks like a header for the table, but is really it's own table because of formatting requirements and the values are dynamic. It looks nice, but shows up only on page one.
3 is the data table. It works great too.
Page one looks great. Page two looks like this... I can't get part 2 from above to repeat for every new page.
I have tried numerous approaches, but nothing seems to work. I really need to stick with the control levels, and that keeps me from having one nice table with a header that repeats. Perhaps I've approached this fundamentally wrong?
Here is my layout in case that helps at all explain my issue. I truly appreciate any help, this is the last hurdle on my form and then it's done. I'm sure a seasoned Adobe person may quickly see the err of my ways.
Thanks,
Greg

Not a solution I'm very fond of, but it works. I created a second page and put the table header on the master page there and moved the content area down a bit. I'd still like to force the subform to simply repeat, but I've got to move on.

Adobe forms prints part of one page 6 times on a sheet of paper

I am attempting to print a completed web based Adobe form and the 8.5x11 page prints part of the page about 6 times on one sheet of paper. This has happened before on Adobe documents and I was able to get around it by saving the PDF file (downloaded from a home utility website) then opening it in Adobe Reader XI and printing it. This time I do not have the ability to save it since I filled out an Adobe form (the system will not let me save the completed form as a PDF file.) My system: iMac 27-inch Late 2009; OS: OS X 10.9.4; Adobe Reader: XI, version 11.0.07; Printer: Canon Pixma MP490 (verified I have the latest drivers)
Print preview shows the document the way I would expect it to print.
The last time I called we never resolved the issue: Apple points to the printer or Adobe, Adobe points to the computer or the printer, and Canon points to the computer or Adobe.

When I first open the form on the web it appears to be an Adobe file, but still on the web via Safari.
Even before I try to save the file there is a message at the top of the screen that reads, "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records." BUT, when I just saved a blank copy of the form to my desktop, opened it in Adobe Reader XI, filled in the form and then printed it the form printed nicely. Problem resolved, or at least a work-around handles the problem easily
It is frustrating that I cannot print directly from the Adobe file via Safari; i.e., I have to experiment to find a solution instead of just hitting the print button (yes, I'm lazy!).
Thank you!!

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on May 18, 2011 2:06 PM

Usually blank pages appear as first page due to the presence of filler lines (//////) on top of report header.Please ensure that the top header is exactely started from top of page itself.

How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

OR
How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
Thank you!

Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

Adobe Flash requesting Action for every page

I'm running Firefox 19.02 and a new problem has now developed.
Every time I visit a new page a pop up requests action to allow Adobe Flash for that page, it doesn't matter how many time you tell it to accept for every page, it refuses to remember it.
It doesn't matter how many times I tell it to activate for every page, it keeps requesting the confirmation.
How can I get around this?

I think you might have "click to play" turned on. I haven't tested it myself, but in looking at the screen shots in [http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57475223-285/how-to-configure-firefox-plug-ins-to-load-only-when-clicked/ this CNET article], it does appear that like other site-specific permissions, you should be able to manually change the permission if the dialog isn't working well:
To call up the Page Info dialog on any page, you can use:
* right-click > View Page Info > Permissions tab
* Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions tab
Does that match what you're seeing?
Or, to turn this all off completely and go back to automatically running plugins, you can return to about:config and reset plugins.click_to_play to its default value of false.
Does that help?

How to repeat alignment guides on every page?

In my Pages document I have set a few alignment guides. I would like to repeat those on every page, without adding them manually. Just like a master object, I would like to add the guides to the 'masterpage'.

They are part of any captured Master Page just as anything else on that page is.
If you don't know how to capture Master Pages:

Change the position of subform in adobe forms

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the position of subform(y co-ordinate) in offline adobe forms.
My subform is positioned and my code is:
this.y = "10 in".
Though this question has been answered a few times,I could not find the answer in any of them.
Please suggest...
Thanks and regards,
Raka.

Presenter doesn't have the same functionality for the TOC as Captivate. There is some wizardry that can be done if you want to adjust the look of the slide list.

Repeating subform on each page in Adobe Forms

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

Florian,
I already tried in Javascript for initialize and from.ready methods..
Now, I tested in Formcalc but the output is the same.
Page 1:
On the next pages:
So, on all the next pages a white space still appears..
Kind regards,
Pieter

ADOBE FORM: Start new page at subform

Hello,
in the interface of my adobe form i have a table.
I created a subform with binding to the table row.
This works so far.
But i want now that for each table row (= subform) a new page is started at the PDF.
How could this be realised?
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

These can be done via options in Pagination tab for the "Body Row" of table.
I just tried a sample as follows and it kind of worked.
form1
|-- Subform // Object palette --> Subform tab --> Make its Content property to Flowed.
|---- Table1
|---- Row 1
// Object Palette --> Type is Body Row
// Object Palette --> Pagination --> After : Go To Next Page
// Object Palette --> Binding --> Selected Repeat Row for each Data Item and made its min count as 5
Only thing is that I am getting a blank page at end but then may be this can point you in some direction and you will solve that for us

ADOBE FORM - Start subform on current page only if space is there

Hello,
i have created an adobe form for printout of CRM business partner details.
The form consists of several subforms.
Each subform consists of a text as header and a table.
examples for the subforms:
- contact persons of account
- opportunities of account
- quotations of account
- orders of account
- servicerequests of account
now i face the issue that in some cases the header text of the subform is on the end of one page and the table starts at the next page. How can i configure my adobe form in a way that subform starts only on current page if there is enough space for at least 1 table entry?
Thank you
Best regards

Hi,
Sorry but i do'nt think that's possible to check dynamically if there is enought place on the form for at least one table line .
Perhaps you can explore this kind of solution
Subform 1 => Table content => Allow page break
Subform 1-1 => "New Header" this one can't allow page break
Subform 1-1-1 => Real Header
Subform 1-1-2 => First item
Subform 1-2 => Items form line 2 to x.... Allow page break
For this you must modify the context of the form because your table will be read from line 2 to ... and you must add a single record for line 1.
Also if you want to repeat the real header forms on page break, you can set it on subform 1-2 when overflow is needed.
Hope this help you.

Current page printing problem - while repeating pages : Adobe forms

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in printing current page number of an adobe form.
My requirement is that , my form got 2 pages. On first page i am not printing page numbers and excluded from numbering.
Numbering starts from second page. The second page needs to be repeated twice.
In this case my page printing should look like :
First page - no page number
second page - 1 of 1
Third page - 1of 1 (as it is a copy)
IF second page extends to multiple pages (eg.. 2)
First page - No Page no
First instance of second page - 1of 2 , 2 of 2
Second instance of second page - 1 of 2 , 2 of 2 . Presently it is printing like : 3 of 2 , 4 of 2. I need to initialize current page count. I could able to set the total page count 2 via variable from print program. But while printing the second instance, I am not able to initialize the current page count.
I have seen the following thread which exactly talks about my problem but with out any solution.
Re: Adobe Forms - Page Count
Can any one help me in this regard.
Thank You,

Naresh.

Hi,
I am not sure how your page design looks like.
Assumption:
During runtime, ONLY 1 page for Page1, multiple pages for Page2 and Page3, same number of pages for Page2 and Page3.
This is what i did:-
I have 3 pages:
Page1: With NO page number: ONLY 1 page
Page2: With page number: Multiple page
Drag the "Insert -> Custom -> Page n of m"
- TextField: "CurrentPage",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this)" with "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this) - 1"
- TextField: "PageCount",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()" with "this.rawValue = ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
Page3: With page number: Multiple page
Drag the "Insert -> Custom -> Page n of m"
- TextField: "CurrentPage",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this)" with "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.page(this) - 1 - ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
- TextField: "PageCount",
-- replace the original script: "this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()" with "this.rawValue = ( xfa.layout.pageCount() - 1 ) / 2"
Good luck.
