Dynamic table grows to 3 pages, preceding section of document moves, appears in middle of table!

I have a form with several sections, say (a) 'header', (b) 'instructions', (c) dynamic table.    This works very well in general - as long as the total form fits on 2 pages.
However, if the number of rows in the dynamic table gets too large, and flows to page 3 (or more), then the 'instructions' section moves from being in it's normal order - and shows up inside the table at the top of page 3 (last page)!     i.e., this section shows breaks the flow of the table, inserts a complete section, and then continues with the table!
Any ideas?    I've tried manually hiding/showing things and other tricks to try to get it to work as it does with a smaller table.

After mucho effort to reduce the problem, it turned out that I had the misbehaving section "Keep with -previous-" checked. Not sure what this does really, and it certainly wasn't working correctly - but heck, removing it solved my problem.
I did reproduce the problem to this:
subform - marked 'Keep with previous"
repeating table
That's it. Once the size of the repeating table goes to page 3, the previous subform jumps to the top of page 3. Go figure.
(Somewhat humorously, in the linked to file - even the preceding element to the offending subform is also dragged to the top of page 3.)
Clearly shows bug in a minimal form - http://www.radioshowlinks.com/f/cwb/TooSimple-v13.pdf
Thanks again for all your help!!!

Dynamic table header/footer on multiple pages stay original

hi experts,
i've got a form with a dynamic table. this means that i have a footerrow with mapped information if it should be visible or not. so the table can have from 1 to 40 columns.
i did some scripting in the table's initialize section:
loop over count of colums and set the headerrow, row1 and footerrow elements for index x to hidden.
everything works out fine BUT if the data spans over multiple pages the headerrow on pages 2 to last is original again. means that the hiding of cells is not effective any more. same with footerrow (but here its fine at last page and original at page 1 to last -1).
i tried to hide cells again in layout:ready section for the other instances of the headerrow.
cells got hidden, but the still visible cells didnt relocate to the left (if i hide it, there should be no space between staying cells).
can anyone please give me a hint what i am missing here?
does anyone have a simple sample for this task? its all about the header/footer for multiple pages!
thanks a lot!

When the footer goes to the 2nd page the page subform is incremented so you will have to reference the page subform as well. I suggest that you add a button (this is for a test only) to the footer subform and add the code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render the form and make sure the footer stays on one page. Hit the button and take note of the someExpression. Now add enough rows to force the footer to a new page. Hit th ebutton again and take note of the changed somExpression. So to solve your problem you will have to find out which page your footer is on. and then construct your expression to incorporate this chane in expression. Note that the indexes are 0 based but the page numbering is 1 based.
Hope that helps

Dynamic Table row breaks only on the first page (not on second)

Hello,
I biuld a dynamic table with Livecycle.
If the text in the last field is to long, the table grows automatically.
If the end of the first page is reached, the row breaks over from the first to the second page(= 1st break)
This works correctly.
But if the text is longer, and the field have to break from the second to the third page, the field does not break!!
Please see the attached file.
The settings should be correct, because the break ( from 1st to the 2nd page) works.
But why, is the "dynamic behaviour " limited to only ONE page ?
Can you help me please ?
Thanks....

Danke für die korrigierte Datei.
Jep, bei deiner Datei funktionierts.
Ich habe alle Einstellungen genauso angeklickt wie Du, aber trotzdem funktionierts nicht in meiner Tabelle.
Kannst du Dich erinnern, was genau Du geändert hast ?
Ich lade eine Datei hoch, in der ich eine neue Tabelle in die bereits existierende Tabelle ( von Dir korrigiert und funktionierend) einfgefügt habe.
In dieser zweiten Tabelle habe ich die gleichen Einstellungen wie in deiner Tabelle. Meine Tabelle funktioniert aber nicht.
Wo ist mein Fehler ?
Danke für deine Hilfe.
Ich hatte es aber als dynamisches Formular gespeichert. Die Felder verändern sich ja, nur nicht mit dem richtigen Umbruch.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Ist es womöglich ein Versionsproblem ?
Teillösung:
Mit 1 Spalte anstelle von 2 Spalten funktionierts auch bei mir.
Mit 2 Spalten nicht.
Weiss jemend Rat ?
ENGLISH
thanks for the correction of the file.
It works fine in your doc.
I copied all settings from your pdf-file, but still it doesn`t work in my doc.
Do you remember, what you changed ?
I will upload a flie, where I paste a new table in the existing one. Can you tell me where the failure is ?
Thanks for your help.
I saved the origin file as a dynamic form. The fields were growing automatically (when the text is long). The problem was the overflow.
https://acrobat.com/#d=kBUbNEdmNNLTXmKuCUo84w
Is it possibly a bug within my LCD Version ?

UPDATE
It works fine, when I delete 1 column.
With 2 columns -> overflow problem
With 1 column -> no problem..
Does anybody knwo why ?

Dynamic tables on one page - overflow problem with repeating header/footer

Hi,
with the help of the user RADZMAR I was able to create dynamic tables..
But now, I have got the next problem.
2 different tables are placed on 1 page.Each of them should be dynamic.
Please let me list what is working, and what not:
each textfield should be expandable (-> working)
Table 01 should be overflowing to page 02 (-> working)
Table 02 should be overflowing to page 02 (->working)
Table 02 should be scrolling to page 02 if tabele 01 is growing (->working)
Table 01 and Table 02 should be splittable (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should be repeated on every page (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should not be stand alone, indepentenly on which page (-> NOT WORKING)
In other words:
How can I reach, that the header and the footer enclose at least ONE textfield-row ?
The setting "keep with previous / following" did not helped me.
If the text in table 02 is large, the settings "keep with..." cause some layout destructions.
This is the screenshot of the problem:
Here you can download my doc:

Your question was "... but the font on the footer is much larger than that of the template", yes?
I only can repeat, look at the difference of:
1. index.html (Font-size > medium) >
2. Calendar.html (Font-size > no entry):
> "... font on the footer is much larger than that of the template",

P.S.
See us again - maybe - at Monday > we will do a nice little trip to Austria.

All pages option in a dynamic table

I have a report with a dynamic table. It has 4 columns in the pages section.
When using the option for All Pages... the 1st. column in the page section has the added option All Pages.
It just happens that this option ignores the other 3 selections...
It seems that when we have 4 columns in the pages... the selections are ANDed... and I´d like to have in each column an option like blank or All so that it would not restrict records shown...
Pls. is that possible somehow ?

Maybe another workaround for you can be to make use of a dashboard prompt. However you have to create a dashboard for your report.

Creating a dynamic table that spans multiple pages

Hi guys,
I have a script that is able to add rows to a dynamic table.
The issue I am having now is I want this dynamic table to span multiple pages.
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. It looks like to me that the table stops once it reaches the height of the text frame enclosing it.
How do you create a table / text frame that expands to it's contents and not the size of the text frame enclosing it. Ideally I want this table to span multiple pages.

OK, I have 3 screenshot to see if that will help. My book is a transcription of some old county records around 1800. I have a section of my book that had a list of items in text separated by a right tab.
I highlighted that text and converted it to a table. In portrait mode I can scroll and see all the table.
When I switch to landscape mode the table is cut off and does not wrap to the next page.
The text after the table appears on the next page. The preview on the ipad is the same.
Thanks for any help on figuring this out. Also, I enjoy your podcasts.

Problem in displaying dynamic table placed in master page

Hi all,
I have placed a dynamic table in my master page. When the page overflows the dynamic table is shown only in 1st page. I want this table to be shown in every page. Please help me solve this.
Regards,
Devaiah

hi,
Thank you all for your reply. But i cannot keep the table in body page as i want this table to be displayed in every page in the header. Actually i am displaying an address through this table.
I have moved the content area in master page to center and reduced its size and in the body page i have placed a table which will display the report. When this table overflows to next page all the contents in master page are shown except for the address table in master page. I am not sure whether i am doing it the right way as i am bit new to adobe forms.
Please let me know where am i going wrong. Also please suggest me some alternative method ( if any ) to display the address in every page if the above method is not feasible.
Regards,
Devaiah

Dynamic table with header on each page

Hi,
I am new to livecycle forms. I am not sure if I am asking a silly question but this is what I need to achieve.
I am designing a pdf form using livecycle designer. Need to build a dynamic table using data from xml. The challenge is I need to have a signature button on each page and the button will be below the table. So if there are for eg. 100 rows of data, then the table should be split into 5 pages of 20 rows each page (each page should have the table header) or based on page content and the button should be on the bottom of each page. Is it possible to achieve this? Also any example/suggestion on implementing signature using signature pad would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
For individual objects, like the button that you want to appear on each page, you should place this on the Master Page. Position the button at the bottom of the page and then make sure that you size the Content Area, so that the button is OUTSIDE of the content area. This way objects on the design page will not overflow over the button. See here: http://assure.ly/g0Wx7r.
If you are using a Table object for your data, then you can set it to repeat the Header row, see the Object palette.
If you are using ADEP Designer 10 (latest version of Designer) AND your users will have Acrobat X/Reader X (eg version 10.1), then you could use Flash object for a signature field. See the example here: http://assure.ly/rqCuEn. See "Assure Dynamics Map with Signature" example. Again please note that you will need Acrobat X/Reader X to view this.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Dynamic table on specific height of JSP page

I have large data.
I have to show this data in dynamic table on jsp page.
the JSP page is logically divided in different pages (as this page is used for printing on specified size of page)
I can only display atmost 12 single rows on one page
but some times text of one column of row become so large that rows expands vertically and occupies space of 2 or 3 rows (thats why now i have to display 8 or 9 rows on first page and then remaining on next )
becoz of this i cant implement this check (only show 12 rows on a page).
so what can i do to show specified height of table on one page and remaining move to next page.

This is an impossible requirement. Page, font and element height is not only browser dependend, but also depending on the settings of the user. Some users will override the font size to be smaller or bigger using a browser option, resizing your table accordingly. Mac fonts might have different sizes if the fonts are antialiased, etc.
You'd have more success if you could output the table as PDF, there are far more table spacing options available, it's portable and you have 100% control over the output. Check out the iText API for example. The only problem with this is that the PDF will be opened by a PDF viewer which you cannot control, so you cannot make it automatically print.

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!...
BR,
Marcos

Capturing data from a dynamic table that span multiple pages

I created a PDF form that contained a dynamic table that can span across multiple pages. Additional rows in the table can be created by the person filling the form as and when needed.
The PDF form is distributed to the receipient using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
However, when the form is "Submitted" back to the originator of the form, only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file. All the other rows are left out.
I would be grateful if anyone can advise me as to how do I or what shall I do to get all the data in all the rows in the table into the Response File?
Thank you.

Hi
Attached are the saved completed PDF-Form and the response file after the completed form has been submitted. I have copied this message to your gMail account.
Only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file.
If it is working correctly on your side, please let me know what could have gone wrong on my side.
Thank you.

Dynamic tables and conditional page break

I have inserted a table in my form and have included an Add New Row button to insert additonal rows. I want a maximum of 16 rows added with a subtotal field. I want the table, then to automatically go to a new page with a subtotal field. At the end of all pages I want to include a total field. The table goes to the next page after a number of rows are entered, but there is not a break; the original form continues. How do conditionally break the page and have a (new) table display in the second page?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for working with me on this. I have sent a copy to the gmail.com address. I'm new to LiveCycle, so please forgive me.

Subject: dynamic tables and conditional page break
You can accomplish that with a single table and some creative script. I suggest that you get the table worked out and working correctly then we can add in the page totals and final total afterwards. Once the table is ready email the form to mailto:[email protected] and I will put together a sample for you that shows what to do. Please include a description of what you want to do with the email as the mail message and this forum are not tied together. Also if you have a data file that fills out the table that would be useful as well.
