How do I make a table span multiple pages?

Hello,
My team and I use a Pages doc with several tables in it. The size of these tables (i.e. the number of rows in the table) change every week. Before upgrading to Yosemite, whenever a table extended beyond one page it would continue on the next with the same headers as the original table. For some reason, the tables now instead"shift" to the next page once the number of rows becomes too much for the current page.... That is unless it is the only table on on the page, in which case it will perform in the desired manner. However, if there are multiple tables on a page, the table will move to the next page, leaving a big blank space where it used to be. I have tried playing with the "Arrange" area to no avail. I can make the table float and create a new table on the next page once the rows become too numerous, but this is not ideal. Has this feature been removed from the new pages or am I just not looking in the right place?
Thanks,
mFuture

Use Pages '09. Pages 5.5.1 is a lost cause.

How can I make a table span multiple pages?

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can help me out. First off I am a indesign novice. I have primarily been using indesign scripting to take other user's indesign documents and generating dynamic previews and PDFS with indesign server 2014 (it's pretty cool stuff).
Someone gave me an indesign document that has a table that starts off in the middle of the page and depending on how many rows they want the table to be it should bump the overflow'ed table rows to the 2nd page.
In indesign I have tried to link the text frames together. It looks ok in indesign as the linked content shows up on page two.
Whenever I run the script to generate the preview JPEG the table on page 1 gets cut off and doesn't render anything on page 2.
Using a script I was able to examine all the textframes on the page and none of the text frames have their "overflows" property set to true.
What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure there are a million things I'm missing but what are some of the basic things I can look for. I'm totally lost here guys.
Thanks,
Dustin

I'm not familiar with the script you are talking about, but if you want to make Jpegs of your pages, the best route is to export the document as PDF, and then open in Photoshop, where you can save as Jpeg. If creating Jpegs was not your goal, can you explain further?

How do I run a table over multiple pages?

Hi I write TV scripts using a simple two column table which can be many rows long - how can I get Pages to automatically run the table over multiple pages whilst still allowing me to cut and paste and rearrange the script? This is simple in Word and must work in pages but I can't work out how to get it to work. I've tried looking at the Page Break feature but it won't come up from the table?
many thanks

At this time, There is no way to drive tables in Pages with AppleScript.
Do your job in Numbers which allow that.

How best to make a transaction span multiple HTTP requests?

Hi, all. What is the best way to implement a transaction that spans multiple
HTTP requests? Many J2EE applications must solve this problem, but I can't
any guidelines for an implementation.
Consider an application that implements a multi-step wizard. Each step
gathers data from the user; step one gets the user's name, and step two gets
his dog's name. When the user completes the wizard, the application saves
the user & dog in two entity beans. Conceptually, the application treats
this wizard like a single, long-running transaction. The transaction begins
when the user launches the wizard. Submitting the JSP for step one adds the
Boy bean to the transaction, and submitting step two adds the Dog bean.
Finishing the wizard commits the transaction. Exiting the wizard or timing
out causes the transaction to rollback.
Although the wizard looks like a transaction, the entire sequence of user
interactions can't be captured in a single JTA UserTransaction. A
UserTransaction must be associated with a single thread, but each wizard
step is handled asynchronously by its own execution thread. It's impossible
to funnel the conversation through one thread that can demarcate the
transaction. (This would be a pretty dumb solution for other reasons, but I
don't want to get lost in details.)
I think the standard way to solve this problem is to store conversation
state in a stateful session bean (or the http session) and create / update
both entity beans in a transactional EJB method after the wizard completes.
Unfortunately, this solution prevents me from leveraging a lot of great
transaction management features provided by the app server. For example, I
can't use optimistic concurrency to make sure that the dog object hasn't
changed in the database between the start and end of the wizard. Also, I'm
forced to keep track of changes to the dog object in the conversation state,
then replicate these changes to an entity bean at the end of the wizard.
Keeping track of state in a stateful bean is pretty straightforward, but it
seems like there must be an existing solution that leverages the appserver's
concurrency and state management features. Am I missing something? Is there
code, a pattern, or an article that describes the best way to implement a
multi-step process that looks transactional? I suppose WLI does what I want,
but that feels like killing a roach with a SCUD missle. Thanks for any
advice.

Do you know offhand, so that I don't have to get off my lazy ass and write a

generates db tables? (I realize it's not good to let WLS generate the tables
in a production system.)No, I don't think it does.

I assume from your answer that I'm on my own for implementing stuff like and
transaction inheritance and tracking object modifications? Well, we'll give you a bit of help on the object modifications. The
usual pattern is when you're pushing the JavaBean back to the CMP you
call all the setXXX methods on the CMP bean. Our CMP container will
check if the value you are setting is the same as read from the db. If
so, it will not update that column.

If so, no big
deal. I was just hoping somebody would say, "Oh, you want the Jakarta
SuperBeans project" or something.

I'd recommend that you include a separate version or timestamp column in
your db schema.
Then do something like this:
Client Server
1) First HTTP Request
2) Read current Dog and Boy Entity Beans
(if any) and copy their values into a JavaBean.
You want to include the version
column(s) in the JavaBean(s) along with the data values.
You probably also want to store the JavaBeans in
your HTTP Session.
3) Client proceeds through wizard interacting with JavaBeans
4) Finish with Wizard, copy JavaBean values (including
version columns) to CMP 2.0 Entity Beans.
The version column will give you the optimistic concurrency protection
that you desire without opening a JTA transaction to span user input.

Problem with tables spanning multiple pages

I have used Pages early on before Numbers to track my small business expenses vs income. I use tables to manage this by clicking outside the page so it can be unrestricted by text fields but it creates a problem.
Problem: free floating tables when rows continue past the footer, don't auto format onto another page.
Needed solution: How do I format the table so it automatically formats the total bar onto the next page without changing my existing layouts?

How to paginate the Report output spanning multiple pages

Hello,
We have a Report that has a custom Layout and it shows invoice information.
Our system has to generate an Invoice per day.
This Report is printed fine for single day.
But our users have 2 requests:
1. To print all the invoices for 1 month
2. To save them to file.
At least printing will do for now.
The problem I got is pagination.
When I made Month&Year as parameter and user selects 2001-OCT
to print all invoices in Oct,2001, the Report is unable to print one invoice per page. In between the layout is rolling over to multiple pages.
Is there a way I can control pagination or any settings?
Thank you much.

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.

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

How do we make the table content in Mobile and CRM synchonize?

Hi,
We had the user customized table in CRM and Mobile client also had this table at the first place.
If we are adding or deleting the records in table in CRM,
how do we make the table content in CRM and Mobile in sync.?
Is anyone can help?
Regards,
Nat

Hi Nattawat,
There is a concept known as CDB(consolidated database).
Whenever you create/change something in CRM a BDOC gets generated. This BDOC gets stored in CDB in mobile sales scenario and then from CDB the data goes to the mobile clients.
Here you will have to enable the CDB. I guess we can do it from the SPRO configuration. Take inputs from functional guys here.
You will have to create the mobile clients as sites and then define Publication, subscription from Admin Console. The transaction is SMOEAC.
Don't hesitate to ask further questions.
Please reward points if it helps.

How can I copy text spanning multiple pages in iBook?

I like to drop sections of text from i
books into letters, journal entries etc and for the life of me I cannot figure out the functionality of grabbing text that spans multiple pages.

Hi James,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. You actually solved the problem. I am able to select as much text as I want now. The bummer is the lame feature where you cannot take more than a couple hundred words at a time. The section I wanted was about one and a half pages and it took me 3 separate copy pastes to get it all. Does anyone know of software or a trick to overcome this limitation?
James thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

Nested Tables and Multiple Pages

Hi,
I have a problem with nested tables that span multiple pages.
Lets assume I want to create a list of orders. Each order contains several order items. As long as an order contains less order items than fit to one page the list is rendered correctly. But if an order contain more items all items that can´t be displayed at the first page are cut off.
I´ve tried so many combinations of subforms with flow content and position content, subform sets and "Allow Page Breaks within Content" as well as Layout Property "Expand to fit" but nothing helped.
Can someone tell me if and how I can achieve this. In the meantime I do work in Designer directly with a XML datasource. So I could send you the form and example data.
I´m working with NW04 SP11 and Adobe Designer 6.0
Best regards
Helmut

Hello Helmut,
There are some limitations and bugs in your requirement.
Please see the output after copying into notepad.
1.Eventhough if you give overflow leader , the headers for item table will not repeat.it is a bug.this is not solved in designer 7.1 also.
2.There are some accessibilty bugs in case of nested table.
Please follow the below design in the hierachy tab.
MainTable (subform)
 |---- Header (subform)
 | |- Header texts for Main table +
 | |- Text for nested table
 |---- DATA_main (subform)
 |-Main table fields
 |-ITEMDATA ( Table SUBFORM)
 |-Header (Subform)
 | |-ItemHeader texts
 |-DATA_item (subform)
 |-Item data fields
for DATA_main and DATA_item subforms, set repeat count MIN in binding tab.Set all flow content and allow page break with in the content.
The output will appear in the following manner.
( Copy the below text into the notepad. )
Order no. text customer
 Order items
=================================================================
1 Computer Mr. Smith
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 PC Tower 1 400.00
 20 LCD Display 1 200.00
 30 Keyboard 1 15.00
 40 Mouse 1 10.00
2 Notebook Mrs. Parker
 Order item no. short text quantity price
 10 HP Notebook 1 600.00
 20 Ext. hard drive 1 80.00
let me know if u didnt get the solution.
Thanks and Regards,

Empty pages being generated when report spans multiple pages

hi folks
I have a problem when generating my pdf form that I hope you can shed some light on.
Firstly, I have a table within a table.
Eg. For each line of Table_1, a new page must be displayed.
Then for Table_2 a list of employees with the matching criteria in line_1 of Table_1 are displayed on page 1. For the next line of Table_1, the same, and so on.
My problem comes in when there are too many employees in Table_2 to fit on a single page, they span onto the next page (as they should), but the pdf form also now displays blank pages at random.
Something like this:
Page 1
--empty
Page 2
-Table_1-Line_1
-Table_2 (lines 1 - 30 of 35)
Page 3
-Table_1-Line_1
-Table_2 (lines 31-35 of 35)
Page 4
-Table_1-line_2
-Table_2 (lines 1 - 10 of 10)
Page 5
--empty
Why the empty pages? Any help will be much appreciated.
thanks.
Also worth noting. If Table_2 doesn't span multiple pages, then I don't get the empty pages.
thanks in advance
Anton Kruse

Hello,
it is clear why your first page is blank. That is because you set "top of next page" (tab binding) for every line of the outer table so every "section" starts on the new page. That is why even the first page starts on the second page (top of NEXT page for the first line is SECOND page).
About the last page... I have experienced problems when I used margins - when your page content is long, but not that long to break the page and you use a margin so the last row + margin should break the page, the last row is left on the last-1 page and the margin "appears" on the last page.
Hope this helps a bit, Otto

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.
