FormCalc. Hiding the subtotal footer in PDF form

Hi, LCD gurus!
I've got a problem that I'm unable to solve for a couple of days.
There is a PDF form (consignment note) with header, lots of positions and footer. The original task with it was to make the last position of the data table be on the same page with the form footer.
I managed to do this by adding second table (consisting of 1 row), placed in subform together with form footer. The last position of the main table was dynamically hidden, it's content was copied to the second table.
The subform didn't allow page breaks, so my task of placing page breaks before the last position of the form was completed. It was done by Adobe
Now the only trouble is that it is necessary to have page footers with page total on every page. That's where the problem settled.
If I create a main table footer (calculating the totals by FormCalc) with checkbox "Include footer in final page", I need to hide it when some positions of the main page are on the same page with the second (one-row) table. Of course, I set up the footer of the second table with the necessary calculations, but it doesn't matter at the moment. The problem is that I can't figure out, where is the "tail" of the main table located until the layout:ready event has come. After that I know the page of any table position, but it's too late to hide the footer - after layout:ready hiding the footer won't lift up the second table and there's an annoying blank line in that case.
I tried another way - not checking "Include footer in final page". Then the footer on the pre-last page of the document doesn't appear in case this page is last for the main table (and then follows page break and the second table with form footer).
So, my global question to the form developers is - is it possible somehow to get (at least appoximately) page of form elements BEFORE the layout:ready event?
Or is it possible to make $.presence = "hidden" of the element after layout:ready and not having blank line instead of it?
Thanx for your reading this stuff up to this

Hi Reeha,
In case you need to use any script you may prefer formCalc script, which is very easy to use. You can use any script out of the two as per your understanding and comfort level.
If you require more technical information about FormCalc, refer to the Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA) Specification, version 2.4, available from:
[http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/xml/index_arch.html.]
and
[http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf]
Hope this helps you

  • In Responses, Can I export the data in a pdf form excluding null data?

    In Responses, Can I export the data in a pdf form excluding null data?

    Let me make sure I understand the request...  There is a feature in the Response table to "Save Response as PDF Form" and you'd like to do this excluding the null data (unanswered questions).  If that is correct it is not supported, the "Save Response as PDF form" will save a PDF that is the entire form filled out as the user filled it.
    Thanks,

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

  • How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

    I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral.  We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
    How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
    We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table.  I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
    Please help???

    What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"?  What is the "Pdf structure"? 
    thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
    We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
    Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that.  Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

  • Is there a way to export the data collected with PDF forms, and saved via FormsCentral, into a MS Excel or Access file format?

    or Is there another place to save data collected by PDF forms other than FormsCentral? e.g. another database on the web server that presents the form?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can export user responses into an excel file. To do that, open the responses tab, select Files -> Export Responses and select Microsoft Excel to export response data into.
    Thanks,

  • How could I fill in the fields in a PDF form.

    Hello,
    I received a form in PDF format that has fields to be filled in.
    I coulld not type in the fields in my computer that has Win 7 or in my Mac Book Air that has Snow Leopard.
    The pdf form protection -> Security Properties-> has "filling of Form Filelds" as -> Allowed.
    Regards

    Are you sure those are real fields, and not just graphic elements that looks like fields?
    At any rate, if they are fields but they are locked, for example, then there's nothing you can do. You need Acrobat to unlock them.

  • How to keep the input field from PDF Form to RTF

    Hi,
    I'm looking to keep the input fields from my pdf form document to Rtf so I can use them in my Rtf document.
    Regards,

    Good day Alan,
    I'm afraid that's not possible as form fields in a PDF file have no equivalent either in a Word format (.docx/.doc) or within the Rich Text Format (.rtf).  That data is simply stripped during the conversion as there's no equivalent available.
    Kind regards,

    I'm a beginner for Acrobat Pro and there is an email button on the form for user to email to the previous admin, how can I change the email addres to mine? When I try to edit on forms, it asked me to click "save a copy", I really can edit and changed to email address, however when I tested it, it said this is only a data but not a form.

    Fill out the PDF form.
    Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.

  • How to print a PDF form content when i have the content

    Hi SAPGURUS,
    I have an urgent requirement.
    I have the content of a PDF form in raw format and it is saved in some repositry .Now How can i create a spool request and print the form.
    I can use the function module FP_JOB_OPEN and then gat the dynamic function module name and then close it by FP_JOB_CLOSE .
    But as i already have the PDF form content i need not create it again by calling the dynamic function module.And i can't do so because both applications are altogether separate from each other that is creation of the PDF form and printing it.
    Could you help me in guiding the way to solve this problem.
