Adobe Forms page break inside a table

Hi,
I have a 50 columns table and I need to print the first 25 columns on a page and the next 25 columns on the following page. Beside this if the number of lines in the table is big enough to flow on a new page I would like to print them like that:
First n lines (where n is the maximum of lines that can enter in one page)
Page 1
Coumn1 ........ Column25
Page 2
Column26..... Column50
Next n lines
Page 3
Coumn1 ........ Column25
Page 4
Column26..... Column50
and so on, until the lines in the table are all printed.
Thank you very much!

Hello Ana,
You can only add a maximum of 20 columns and 50 rows in a single page, the solution would be to conditionally divide the main table as 20xN, 20xN, and 10xN. And regarding the flow on a new page:
1. If you use the subform for line items, then make the subform type 'Flowed'.
2. If you use only table in body page then check for Allow page-breaks within content.

Adobe Forms - Page Break via a Conditional Break

Having read through the forum I am getting the impression that Page Breaks is a bit of a problem.
I can enforce a page break between datasets by setting "After:" to "Goto Next Page", on the Object->Pagination tab, however this results in a blank page at the end of the entire output which is just the Master Page with all the static elements.
The 'Conditional Breaks' sounds like the logical point to force a page break based on a combination of inequality or if a particular data element equals a known value.
However, I don't seem to be able to get the 'Conditional Break' to work.
So, the question I would like to ask, is how can you tell if the conditional break logic is correct and whether or not it is running? For example on an ABAP system is it possible to run it and debug it?
My attempts at getting the break to open a pop up or write to disk via JavaScript fails, which is leading me to think they are being ignored by the Adobe Form at both the server and client level.
Is it possible that I have missed another setting somewhere else in the Adobe form configuration?

Hello Jason!
You are right that conditions (and all scripting) are bit tricky in this solution. Still they work.
Debugging of AIF at ABAP side is not possible due to the architecture of the solution - from the ABAP POV it is just a web-service call and receiving result (PDF) back. You can't stop it on midpoint or intercept it somehow.
At the same time there are other ways to check it.
First, you can enable trace and saving additional info in SFP transaction under Utilities -> Settings.
Details see [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f7/a04aee0cb94978a011401311efe603/frameset.htm]
And the nice way to check if your condition block is taken into the account is simple check like 1 = 2.
If this works and you receive page break than all you need is find errors in your condition syntax, otherwise the problem is somewhere else.

Page break on nested table

Hi,
I am getting blank page because of page break after nested table.
When page is full with the records then because of nested table, it added one space after that.
Has anyone faced this issue before?
Thanks

Hi,
Upload the .rtf template and XML sample so we can see your issue.
Also I recommend you to review our page-break document:

How to set Page break in multiple tables ?

Hi ,
I have 3 tables in my SSRS report . 3 tables have different groups.
All groups are showing in different excel tabs as expected. Also dynamically generating each tab name based on the group name .
But 3 rd table group tab name not generating dynamically but taking 2nd table last group name .
In below example Johnhancock is my last group of table 2. From first group of 3 rd table onwards it will showing as Johnhancock2, Johnhancock3, Johnhancock4 etc. ( Data is correct only issue with tab name )
Note: I have used add a page break after option for all 3 tables . Please suggest if I need to change any settings.

Hi Kotim,
According to your description, you have three tables in a report with page breaks between those tables. When you export this report as excel, you have set the worksheets names showing each group name. Now you find all tabs of the third table shows the last
group name of the second table. Right?
In Reporting Service, when we export a report to an excel file, if we add page breaks for the report manually, then the report will be exported into multiple worksheets based on page breaks, and the report page names determine the name of worksheets. For
testing this scenario, we add page breaks between groups and tables, and put the group name into page name. It works fine when we export it to excel file. So we suggest you check the page name of the third table, make sure the page name is the group name of
the third table. If possible, please post some other detail information about report design. Here we also have a blog for your reference:
Report Design: Naming Excel Worksheets
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?

Hi guys,
I created an Field Symbol, in a Interface which I use for Adobe Forms. The type of the Field Symbol is STANDARD TABLE, and this field symbol I fill with data from another program.
But the problem is that in adobe forms, this Field Symbol is taken as TEXT FIELD and not as Table... and this shows me a Dump because it can't convert Internal Table to type C (the dump is like that).
What I need, is how to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?
I looked at Adobe Form, and found this:
The Type Category of the Field Symbol is DICTIONARY TYPE and I think I need to change it to Internal Table as shown in the right picture.
Does someone have any idea?

Hello Taly,
To what i understand your requirement, you need to pass data from Field symbol to internal table in Adobe form.
You have done it correct partially. I have replicated your scenario and steps are below -
1) Create a Z structure
2) Create Z Table Type
3) Create Adobe Interface with Table & Field Symbol. Also do coding as shown to assign the internal table populated in driver program to filed symbol.
4) Design Form as -
5) Code driver as -

Adobe forms which has 3 internal tables

Hi.
I am developing a adobe forms which has 3 internal tables
1 u2013 multiple lines table
2- multiple lines item table
3 u2013 multiple lines item table
I want to pass the above 3 internal table to Adobe forms and print it.
Also the data records can be many in each internal table.
I want to display the contents one after other.
How to do.

Whether one table or more same aproch. Follow this for each table you have. Within a "flowed" subfolder create a table with 1 row (heading, footer if needeed). Bind the entire table at the table level. Bind 'data' fields to the row fields. Make sure you indicate that the table and rows are to repeat for each item in table.

SQL INSERT / SQL UPDATE don't work with form page, don't affect table

The subject line says it all. No matter what I try, my updates on the form don't appear on the report page, which accesses the table. When I look at the table using SQL WORKSHOP, the changes aren't made there either. What am I missing? I have another report page and form page with a different table in the same application and updates in that table work fine. I coded them both the same. What should I be looking at?
Steve "the n00b" in Raleigh NC

Steve,
How you have created the FORM page? Using FORM WIZARD? Or You have created blank page and after that you have manually created all the form items?
If you have used WIZARD to create form page, then you can see a page process with Automatic Row Processing (DML) type. Here you need can set DML (Insert/Update/Delete) you wish to use on this form. APEX will take care of the rest.
If there is no such process in your page, then you need to create one. You may have one process to do both (Insert and Update) and you can have two sepate processes. I prefer having two seperate page processes (after submit), one for Insert and one for Update.
Now you can make the Insert process conditional so that it only execute when you click button - Create (Add or any similar button you have ) Also make the Update process conditional so that it only execute when you click button - Save (Update or any similar button you have )
Just a quick note - From the above trigger, I can guess you are allowing users to enter Primary Key manually? In my opinion, Primary key should be always system generated using SEQUENCE. Users can only enter BUSINESS KEY (if any) and we should not use Business key as Primary Key.
Good Luck :-)

Adobe form page per work table record

I have read detail records into a table and I want one page per record in that table. Other tables are to be subset of that record but all data to be written on each page relates to one record in the table. How do I set the hierarchy so each record in the top table makes a new page.
Easy to do in Smartforms but I want to use SFP as it is much more detailed when designing form.
I have laid out the Master Page and I want each record to fit into Content area.
Also the Master Page was uploaded directly from pdf created from users desgn in EXCEL which worked nicely.
Do any of the example (FP_TEST*) Adobe forms work easily as an example?

Solution: Define subform for the page.
subform tab > Content: flowed, Direction: Top to Bottom
Pagination    > Place; In Content Area If Dataset must be Paginated Overflow: Go To Content Area Overflow Leader *1st sub-subform
Binding        > Default Binding (the table with [*])
                         check Repeat Subform for each Data Item
                         check Min Count 1
This made each record in table a new page. In my case I was writing a cycle count record (LINV) with additional statistical and historical data.

Problem in Adobe Interactive forms' Page breaks..

hi all,
I am using Table wizard in the Form Builder to create a table. And i am binding the data to this table. The table which i have created will increase its rows dynamically depending on the number of records.
The problem is the page break is not working in my case. Means, In the OBJECT of the table, the PAGE BREAK check box is not highlighted. I cant select the page break check box.
Can any one help on how to make page breaks possible..?

hi Nikhil,
'Allow page Breaks within content' is highlighted now. But now my requirement is, I have two tables one below the other... Both displaying the same data from the EKPO table. Depending on the contract the table rows are dynamically increasing. But both the tables merge together if the table rows are many..
According to my requirement, if there are 10 rows, the data must be displayed in the first table and after the first table ends, the second table shoud start and display the data. The thing is the content of the page below the table should move according to the size of the first table.
For this what are the conditions I should give in Pagination Property.
Place =
Keep With =
After =
If dataset must be paginated =
No problem Even if it is going to next page....

ADOBE form - page reset for the second SO

Hi all,
Iam working on sales order form ( ADOBE Form). Nneed to display SO header and item details.But it is not for a single SO and it is for multiple SOs.First i need to display one sales order and its items after completing the all items of the first SO , the second SO details should come in the next page. This is fine, i have done this, but for the second SO the page numbers should start from 1. That means the page no has to be reset for each SO change.Suppose assume that, if the first SO is taking 2 pages for printing item details and second SO is taking 3 pages for printing item details then the page nos should follows the below sequence:
First SO : 1 of 2
                2 of 2
second SO : 1 of 3
                    2 of 3
                    3 of 3.
but it is printing as 1 of 5, 2 of 5 ..... like this. Because we are using the system field for this.Can we reset the page numbers according to the condition?

Hi,
One addition to the previous answer. You need to set the Output device in the program itself and the nodialog field of the outputparams should be set to 'X'. For example you can go through the below code.
DATA:
w_formname TYPE fpname,
w_function TYPE funcname.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.

      BEGIN OF fs_orders,
        vbeln TYPE vbak-vbeln,
      END OF fs_orders,
      t_orders LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF fs_orders.
SELECT vbeln

    UP TO 5 ROWS.

Arabic SubTotals in Adobe Form Page.

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement of printing Subtotals of a table in Arabic as well as English on the same page for all pages in the form.
FYI i have made a function module to convert english digits into arabic, which i use in my code to convert english amounts to arabic amounts.
Like -
CALL FUNCTION 'ZJP_M_ARABIC_NUMERALS'
EXPORTING ENGLISH = V_AMOUNT
IMPORTING ARABIC = V_AMOUNT_AR.
This gives me the arabic amount.
Now i am printing english subtotals using the javascript code :
var fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(xfa.layout.page(this)-1, "field", 0);
var total = 0;
for (var i=0; i <= fields.length-1; i++) {
if (fields.item(i).name == "AMOUNT") {
total = total + fields.item(i).rawValue;
this.rawValue = total;
Through this code i am able to get the english subtotal in my offline adobe form.
My PROBLEM is - how do i use this english subtotal generated via javascript to convert it into arabic subtotal (using the FM)
for each page.
Any help is highly appreciated..!!
Thanks,
Piyush.

Hi Piyush,
Check this below link set locales for a field using java script this might help if you are looking for @ scripting
/people/raghavendra.prabhu/blog/2010/12/17/currencynumber-formatting-in-hcm-forms
I have 2 approaches (hopefully both of them will work).
1) Have a hidden field with arabic locale, in your loop keep adding values to this field.
2) have the required field on the form set the locale to arabic, just assign the english value to this field. (if both english and arabic totals are from same records and same values mathematically then only the presentation locale is different but the value sud be the same right).
If I am wrong understanding your requirement, please explain what is the difference ...?
Cheers,
Sai

Split a TOC over pages: page break in a table of contents

I'd like to be able to put a page break in a TOC. I have a TOC spans a couple of pages. The second page only has a couple of lines in it, so I want to be able to split the TOC on TOC heading 1 with a page break.
I know that I could adjust the styles for the TOC, but this is not a general enough solution for me - it would probably not last long (add new pages, the arbitrary page break is going to move).

This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
* *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.

Page breaks inside repeating frame

Hi,
I am developing a statutory report for India Localisation. In this report there is a repeating frame which has three sections inside. I want to ensure that each of these section prints on a new page all the time. Of course there will be some page wastage, but since the report is statutory it has a prescribed format which mandates this requirement. Each section is like a tabular column and it doesnt look good if it prints without any page break in between the sections.
Here is what i have tried, I have created three child frames inside the parent repeating frame and I tried to set page break after, page break before and page protect for each of these sections and I also tried various combinations of these 3 settings. But still I couldnot get it right.:-( It will be of great help to me if any one could suggest me a better approach.

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

Page breaks with dynamic table

Hi there!
We've built a LiveCycle process in which we get data from an XML file and generate the PDF in LC Output.
However, although the items are being correctly generated in the table, only the first 20 or so records are being included, generatin just one page.
There are around 200 records in the XML - we just can't find how to set up the XDP in LC Designer so that we get a multipages PDF containing all 200 records instead of just 20.
We are using a dynamic table with the following set up:
Pagination: Following Previous
In Binding tab, we checked Repeat Row for Each Data Item
This table was inserted using the Insert Table option in main menu, using the wizard and it's inserted in a subform.
All these setup options were applied to the table row element.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Marcos

Hi Niall,
Thank you for the input!
However, there's something else we're missing here.
After I tried your suggestion there were actually page breaks... we got 4 pages. However, only one of them had any content (the dynamic table with 30 records) and the other three were blank. The XML that populates the table includes 200 records.
We're pulling our hair off here, trying to do this for days!...

Marcos
