Expanding dynamic form page issue

Hope someone may be able to help me out with this one?
I've created a dynamic fomw with the ability to add lines as required, and the test boxes will expand as required also. However I've encountered a problem when the form expands onto additional pages. Everything works fine except that everytime the 'trailer' subform jumps onto page 2 etc. it also inserts'/leaves itself at the bottom of each page.
What I'm trying to achive, is a form with the ability to add lines which will cascade through as many pages as required, yet only have the trailer subfrom on the last page and not throught the document.
I'm sure I've just overlooked something simple, being relatively new to this. But I've read through loads of help files and tried a number of thisngs with no luck so far......Any assistance given will be gratefully recieved.
I've included the form to enable it to be better understood.
Regards,
Adrian

Thanks Paul,
Your help was much appreciated. Seems obvious once you've pointed where I'd gone wrong out. Thanks again.

How to make my dynamic form pages flow correctly?

I have created a dynamic form which has multiple questions with expandable text fields that will take multiple pages once completed. I do not know how to make the form flow correctly past the first page. I can attach the form if I knew how to do that.

Thank you Paul. Your editing assistance was greatly appreciated. I think I now understand that there should be only one page subform that is flowed, regardless of how many text box objects I have in my questionnaire. This did the trick.

Issue tabbing across page breaks in dynamic form

Hi all,
I have a strange problem that I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of, relating to my dynamic form.
This form grows and shrinks depending on how the user fills it out. I have a questionnaire section where certain questions are hidden or shown depending on previous input.
Things get interesting when I look at the tab order. Sometimes when tabbing forward or backward across page breaks, the focus lands on a spot that I cannot identify. There will be no cursor and I can not type. However if I continue to tab in the same direction, I can see that it is still going in the correct sequence. It just looks like for some reason, in those places, focus is put in the wrong component. But if I type different input into the prior fields (ones that affect the length of the pages) that causes the field to move to different place where it's not adjacent to a page break, and then tabbing to the field in either direction works fine. It seems that only when it's beside a page break, it becomes problematic.
Also, it only seems to be a problem if the field gets moved to be adjacent to a page break AFTER the form is initially rendered. If the field was originally beside a page break by default, then it seems to work fine.
Just to rule out a possible problem with the tab order configuration, I set my from to Automatic tabs, and even went as far as removing all the <traversal> elements from the form.
After doing either of those things, the problem still persists.
Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Eric,
I have seen funny behaviour when tabbing within Preview in LC Designer. It may be picking up a read-only item in the Master Page.
Good luck,
Niall

Making dynamic form flow on to next page

Hello,
I am trying to make a dynamic form that is expandable. I have succeeded in creating expanding fields, but have been unsuccessful in convincing those fields to flow on to the next page (which I have added). I have set all the content for my fields to flowed and have allowed page breaks in all of them. I suspect there might be a pagination issue, but I have not found any solid information about how to use it correctly. If I select any option other than the default in pagination (while the subform at the bottom of the page is selected), the whole form disappears. I realize I may have some inherent flaws in my design and will perhaps need to start over, but if anyone had a list of requirements for making things flow to the next page (after a set margin at the bottom of the page, i.e. at 1" from the bottom, the field entry splist, and continues at 1" from the top of page 2), I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
I wondered if you might be able to help me solve another flow issue? I've got my form working quite well now, but I', having an issue with the text fields. My fields have captions that ask a question, and the response should be in the field. I wondered if there was a way to make the text fields wrap onto the beginning of the next line as they expand, rather than going onto the next line at the limit of the text field. For example-
What is your favorite color?: (the response continues here and goes all the way to the end and on to the next
line and continues here.
rather than-
what is your favorite color?: text text etc etc
text text text etc etc.
Does that make any sense? Is it possible? Should I throw this to the forum?
Thanks!

How to save a completed form that was created as a dynamic form, with expandable files?

I have created a dynamic PDF form with expandable fields etc. As this is to be accessible for customers to completed, how can they save a completed copy on their own PC?
I tried it myself and I receive an error msg stating that I can only save a Blank Copy of this Form: Data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form.
How can I create a dynamic form (with expandable fields/flowable layout etc) that allows the applicant to not only complete the form but also, to save a completed copy?

Thanks! That worked , however I now have an additional issue.
While the form works in Internet Explorer (I'm using IE11), in that it's viewable, it opens and allows me to save etc) it doesn't work in Google Chrome and I'm getting the below error message:
Any ideas on why it doesn't display in Chrome and does in IE (I'm using the same PC and I'm using Adobe Reader XI)!
there are other PDF forms on site that are not dynamic but are fillable, and these are opening!
Thanks

Dynamically use page number in form field on spawned pages?

I have a form with spawned pages. JS for spawning page(s) works fine. However, one text field on template is driving me nuts. I would like this field ("CaseNum") to dynamically display page number, since page number also corresponds to case number. On templage ("getcase"), I can calculate value for CaseNum using custom calc script (event.value = this.PageNum). But that doesn't work because every spawned page gets the same value (ie, whatever is last spawned page number). I also tried JS below, using P0.getcase.CaseNum as the field on the template in which I want the page number/case number to be displayed:
var oPage = this.pageNum;
this.getField("P" + oPage + ".getcase" + ".CaseNum").value = oPage;
But, this doesn't work either, because the field on the spawned page automatically gets the prefix of P + page number + .getcase appended to the field name. Is there any way to dynamically used page number in a form field on spawned pages? If so, how? Note that while I am trying to use a dynamic case number on spawned pages, it presents the same issue as dynamically displaying page numbers on spawned pages. I'm a JS newbie, so any help appreciated. I've searched high and low on web and in forums and couldn't find the answer. Thx.

Bizarre CFIF issue with dynamic form variables? Very strange...

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Here's my code. Issue explained below.
            <cfquery name="reviewconfigloader" datasource="MOLMS">
            SELECT *
            FROM dbo.BaseModel
            WHERE dbo.BaseModel.AccountID = #molmsAccountID# AND.dbo.BaseModel.basemodelActive = 1
            </cfquery>
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
        <cfloop query="reviewconfigloader"><cfif isdefined("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") AND ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ "" AND ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ 0><cfoutput><tr>
          <td width="40%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub">     #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelName# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelSubName#</td>
          <td width="15%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub"><div align="center">x 14 </div></td>

        </tr></cfoutput></cfif></cfloop>
      </table>
What I'm doing here is fairly basic.I'm running a query with a number of configs in it...and then creating a loop to output them. Ultimately, I only want the configurations that didnt have 0 submitted in the form on the previous page. Each one of the configs in the config query has a dynamic form variable on the previous page with a quantity tied to it. I am trying to eliminate all quantities past that aren't 0 (or not eliminate, just not show)...as you can see from the cfif statement.
Here's where it gets weird. You'll notice I output #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, just for testing, which shows me the quantity as it should. I ran a test and put in a couple of 1s, 0s, 12s, 6s, etc in the form fields on the previous page. If this thing worked, it wouldnt show anything for any of the records with their basemodelID value being submitted as 0. Not the case. It shows all records. What is more hilarious is that it outputs perfectly in my test #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, showing the correct numbers entered in the previous form, the 1s, the 0s, etc, tied to each record. But for whatever reason, the cfif code isn't catching it.
What's even more bizarre...I replaced the cfif ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ 0 with GT 12 (12 was the highest number that I put in the form) and it still showed all records. Then I put it in as LT 12 and it showed nothing. I decided to take it one step further and put it in for GT 1231243242343 (random massive number), which it still showed all of the records. So somehow, my CFIF statement thinks that ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") is a incredibly large number, although when I output it in the row below, it is the number it should be.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

Hey Dan...thanks....unfortunately...with the cfif testing, thats kinda what I'm
doing because I dont have an "expected" value. My expected value is anything a user inputs thats greater than zero, hence NEQ 0 and NEQ "". The real problem is taht what I'm outputting works and what the cfif clause is seeing is obviously very different.
As far as your comment about looping out the variables and then setting a query equal to the value in a cfquery, remember...these are form objects and therefore nothing can be tied back to the database. The result from the code is establishing a form variable (example.... form.basemodel1 (if 1 was the basemodelID from the database query) so it can capture whatever data the user has passed from the previous page in a text input. So that input could have been 23, it could have been 1053.
So really the only way to do it is create a query and loop out the variables.... and attach them to form objects (basemodel1, basemodel2, basemodel3 etc where the 1,2 and 3 are the unique ID's for those models in the database), and then look for where those form objects may have been filled in in the previous page by stating IF this form object not equal to 0 or "", output the data.
Does that make sense? Thanks for the help guys I'm completely stumped by this. I've done this a million times with CFIF and I'm really struggling with why this isnt working....

Dynamic Form - Barcode on master page, only contents on specific page to be populated on barcode

We have a dynamic form that grows as required. We have one barcode on the master page. As form grows to next page only the contents on that page (ie page 2) must be on the barcode on page 2 and page 1 content only on page 1. But if the form goes back to normal then the contents must not be on the barcode anymore.
Could anyone assist on this problem please?

Page Number Disappesrs when click on Reset button in Dynamic Form

Dear all,

I want the page no should not disappear.How can I get rid of this problem. If any body can please help me.
Thanks a bunch in advance

Firefox checks on the server if the file has been modified if you use the back button.<br />
If the page was requested by sending post data to the server then Firefox sends that post data and asks for confirmation.<br />
You can try to use the tab history of the Back button skip sites that require sending post data.
You can also try if it works if you set to never check the server by setting the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency pref to 2.

Append static pdf page to LC dynamic form?

I have a multi-page expandable LC form. It has been functioning fine for several months, but now I must attach two pages of static pdf to the end. It is so easy to do in Acrobat, I assumed the same would be true in LC, but I have not figured out the combination. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
One option would be to recreate the static content in LC Designer, rather than trying to import the two pages from the PDF file.
You could also follow Jono's advice on http://forums.adobe.com/message/2004818#2004818.
Lastly if you open the static PDF in Acrobat and export the two pages to JPEG files. Back in LC insert two new pages and drag in an image objact and link each URL (click embed) to the JPEG files.
Good luck,
Niall

Issues in editing a PK column from FORM page

Hi
I am creating interactive report and a form on a table T1 with columns A (this is the PK column),B,C, etc.. In the creation wizard I chose "Existing Trigger" for populating my PK column values for both the pages as in my case, USER will be giving/populating these values. Now in the form page, I change the 'Display type' of PK column A from 'Hidden and Protected' to 'Text field' because user has to use this column in form page, for creation and editing jobs.
Now, while creating a record, I have no issues, but while 'editing' the 'A' item from form page, the form gives errors like (ORA-20505: Error in DML) and (ORA-01403: no data found) and does not allow to edit this PK column. Any workaround? Please help.
Thanks
Bhavesh

On edit page, under processes region you will find various processes active on this page. Edit process which do DML operation on table T. On edit process page you will find 3 check boxes: Insert, Update and Delete. de-select the update checkbox and create ur own process. As the PK is editable, create one hidden item (say PX_A) on page which will preserve the value of the column A before editing. This will help editing the table row which is identified uniquely by column A only.

Dynamic Form componants in my jsf page?

how could i make dynamic form componant in my jsf page ,depend on user inputs or result from database or whatever , where i use sun studio creator ???

you need to use the "rendered" attribute of the components...
for example in your jsp put this...
<h:outputText value="Hello" rendered="#{myBean.renderHello}"/>
the render hello method looks like this in your backing bean "myBean"
public boolean getRenderHello() {
return true; // or false
if getRenderHello() returns true, "Hello" will be displayed, if getRenderHello() returns false, it will not...
you can also use expressions in the jsf... for example...
<h:outputText value="Hello" rendered="#{myBean.someNumber == 5}"/>
if the "getSomeNumber()" method in your backing bean returns 5 it will be true and "Hello" will show up... otherwise it won't... :)
Hope this helps...

Dynamic Form to Stop repeating when page is full

I have a dynamic form with a repeating subform .. I want the form to stop repeating once it reaches the end of the page (whether horizontally or vertically)- At the moment, it goes off the page & continues repeating.. Is there a solution for this?
Thank you!!

Thanks, but the problem is Im designing a form similar to a blog that grows horizontally & vertically depending on the post / (subform instance) you reply to.. so there is no way of knowing at what instance it will reach the end of the page.. It might be the 10th or the 17th for example...
Any help will be very greatly appreciated!
Thanks

My dynamic form - issue with saving data (urgent-i would greatly appreciate any help)

Hello,
I have some problems with this dynamic form (created in livecycle) http://www.pathology.ubc.ca/Academic_Activity_Data_Form_Jan_4_2013.pdf . It doesn't save data unless I add a' new row' to any of these tables.   There are a few text fileds and if I type anything in there data won't be saved unless I trigger it by adding randomly a table row. This is big problem as this form will be used for updates and if I want to change any of my entered records I will always have to remember to 'add a new row' otherwise just adding/changing text won't be saved. This might sound confusing but you will understanding what is going on if you type in your name and save the form and then type in your name, add a table row and save the form (first case won't be saved second will).
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Firefox Issue on Form Page

http://dev.pavemend.ads-websites.com/contact_page.html
My form page views fine with Safari, Chrome and Opera. When I view it in Firefox it is all messed up. Does anyone know how I can correct this problem? I created this form using a table to control the size of the form fields. Is this my problem?

Instead of using the html attribute size="50" try using css widths and set them in pixels.
#lastname {
width:357px;
The html attribute for size is based off of the font used, in "characters wide". How that font renders between browsres can change the size.
