How to remove item header on the last page

Question

Hi,
We have an adobe form where, on the last page a BIG footer gets displayed.
Now if the number of line items are not enough, they wont go till the last page, but the last would still be printed with no line items, just to accomodate the huge footer that we want to be displayed only on the last page.
Now in doing this, we want that if there are no line items on the last page, the item header should not be displayed. We are not sure how do we do this.
The same is accomplished in SAP Script, and there they are using WRITE_FORM with type DELETE. So anything that prints after that even on a new page, the item header wont get printed.
Please suggest how do we do this in Adobe Forms.
Thanks,
Tirth

Hi Mate,
there is a contradiction then.
in table header rows definition, we specify show header in subsequent pages, then the header appears only if there are items displayed on that page. in your case the table header shouldn't be displayed then please check why its comming out there...?
well in any case if you want the script it would be like below on layout ready event of the header row.
// run the below script in last page
if(xfa.layout.page(this) == xfa.layout.pageCount()){
var pageSFList = xfa.layout.pageContent(xfa.layout.page(this) - 1, "subform", false);
var pageTotal = 0;
// for each subform named <Item>, which is the data row of the table
for (var i = 0; i < pageSFList.length; i++)
     var sf = pageSFList.item(i);
        if(sf.name == "headerrow"){ // if header row is found then chec is data row is visible and set its presence accordingly
           if(sf.parent.item.presence == "hidden"){
               sf.presence = "hidden";
     if (sf.name == "Item") // if data row itself is found set its presence accordingly
       sf.parent.headerrow.presence = "visible";
you might need to tweak the code according to your element names.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
