Dynamic table needs to break to 2nd page

Hi,
Still consider myself clueless when it comes to dynamic properties in a form.
I have a user interface that collects and stores data for some of our business accounts. A chunk of these fields are free-form text boxes.
I need the ability to simply, neatly display all information saved or entered in the user interface.
I'm working with LiveCycle and am required to have a standard header/footer on each page that consists of fields that will also populate with data from the user interface.
What I've tried is to set up the fields as a table. I have the ability to extend the field according to the amount of text entered, but have problems when the field should break to the next page.
I've allowed multiple lines for the text boxes, and set the table row to "expand to fit". Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get the system to accept or have available the setting Allow Page Breaks with Content.
When there is enough text to cause the field to break over a field, it simply takes the entire section to the next page.
Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
Karen

Input fields cannot be broken across pages in version 8.x and before.
That is why it is trying to keep the whole field together on a single page.
Sorry

Table rows are breaking on seperate pages...

I have table which has 20 rows:
First 3 rows are on one page, then half of the page is blank hen remaining 17 rows are on second page.
How can I keep table from breaking rows. I want all rows in table to follow one another.
Please help. Thanks.

The Keep With settings are found in Table > Format > Row Format...
Note: the first row on the second page may also have a Start setting that tells it to be at the top of a page or column.
The Widow/Orphan control just specifies how many rows to keep together (widow is the first page; orphan is the second page) when a table needs to split across a page. The higher the number, the more rows are forced to stay together.

Dynamic Header row for table not aligned properly on 2nd Page

Hello Friends,
The problem is like this :
We have a table with dynamic number of columns and few of them are being hidden at runtime based on a configuration table.
Now problem while printing is that first page is printing the header row, but same is not being repeated on subsequent pages.
Please see the layout
Header row is warped in 2 subforms both are flowed - western text so that they will get squeezed if column is hidden
Here are the properties for subforms
1) overflowLeader => Flow top-bottom
2) OF_SF => Flowed , western text
On 2nd page all the columns are getting aligned to left hand side whereas printing fine on first page.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
in this case, you must use more nested wrapper subforms and set the root subform layout from "flow" to "positioned". I cannot give advice on how the wrapper subforms are organized, since it depends on your logic, just try it out.

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.

Displaying pagenumbers in table of contents in the 2nd page of a smartform.

We have a requirement where we need to display "Table of contents" with headings and corresponding page numbers .The page numbers for the headings need to be picked up at run time.But the "Table of contents" is in the second page whereas the headings appear in the later pages.So it is difficult to display the respective page numbers.Can anybody give me a solution for this.

Hi.
Perhaps you could try this.
In the main window: When you print out the heading you can get the page number you are currently on. Save that number in a table/structure for each header.
Then on the second page you could have a "Late processing" window and print your headers with the page numbers you have stored in your table/structure.
I think this will work, or at least give you a clue on how to do it.

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.

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

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

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.

Dynamic Tables in PDF - repeating Header row in all pages

Hi ,
I have created a dynamic table in PDF, When I add rows, the table is spanning to next page, and I should get the header row in all pages. But, I am getting the header row only for the 2nd page(In Header row properties, I have choosed the header row to be displayed in all pages). I need the Header row to be displayed in all pages.
To see the previous thread, Click [here|Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows;.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar.

Hi Prabhakar,
Try out with following step
Header Row -> Binding -> Select the check box
Repeat Row for each Data item (Min Count 1)
Please let me know if this is working or not.

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!
daapoo

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 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
