I Need help wrapping an expandable text field to the next page, while pushing a subforum beneath it

Hi, I hope I can get some help with this form that I am desperately trying to finish.
I am unable to get an expandable text field to recognize both 1.) the positioned subforum underneath and 2.) the page break. I'll attach the file if it helps get an understanding of what I mean, and maybe someone can see what I did to royally screw it up. The area of the form in question is on page 4 of the attached document. I want the user to be able to write as much as they need in the summary section, and still fill out the last section afterwards.
If more info is needed, let me know and I will do my best to describe what I did. My last solution I tried, before giving up, was to wrap the previous section, as well as the next section of the expandable text field, into its own subforum. Then, I nested the subforums together in another subforum.
Thanks in advance.

In case anyone sifting through forums, looking for the answer to this question, needs the answer: paulk07 was able to fix my document by unwrapping all of the subforms on the last page and then wrapping it in only 3 subforms (2 positioned/1 flowed) and then set the page to flow.
From there, I set the margins so when the sectioned wrapped to a new page, it didn't end/begin at the edge of the page.
Thanks again paulk07

  • Data from one text field to another text field on the next page

    Hi all,
    Hi I have a form, which has data coming in from the data binding, the thing is the data is mapped to a certain text field and if that text field is filled up it should be continued on to the other text field which is on the immediate page following it. the reason for using text field instead of  Subform and make it expandable is  the client does not want to change the position and structure of other fields following that field, they are o.k with the amount overflowed in to the next text field .
    is there any script for the same condition in Java script or form calc.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is not as simple as it sounds. You will not be able to split the field up during the time of binding. The entire string must go into the field and only after it has completed the biinding can we change it around. A colleage of mine did this for an interactive field and it involved some pretty complicated code. Here is a link to her blog entry that describes what she did:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/an_example_of_splitting_text_a.html
    But that is only part of the problem.....once you split the information across two fields you will need to recombine it back into a single field so that the data that is submitted can represent it correctly again. So you will have to reverse the process in a presubmission step.
    Make sense?

  • Expanding text fields not moving next fields down the page

    I have a multi-page form with several comment boxes that I want to be expandable (if needed).  I've managed to get them to expand, but the fields following the field that is expanding dynamically are not bumping down the page.  I've gone through and read about different things to try and use (flowed, western, expand to fit, etc), but the fields following the expanding fields are not moving.
    I can send the form I am using to anyone who has a suggestion.  I am confused with the hierarchy and where stuff needs to go in order to work correctly.
    Thanks.

    Hi, it is highly recommended that you create subforms in your form. By creating parts in your form you should create subforms for each of those parts. For the textfield you are trying to make it expandable and flowable to the next page, you must make every of its parents flowed. Your main page is actually set to positioned, even if your subform containing the textfield is flowed, if each of its parents are set to flowed it should work, otherwise it will not flow to next page.
    If you set your page to flowed, it will reposition each of your fields because it is not in subforms. Make sure to create subforms for each parts, putting all fields in subforms. If you set your main page to flowed without creating subforms, all of your fields will be redesigned to be aligned left with the hierarchy order.
    Hope this help.

  • Trying to add a flowable/expandable text field to the end of a form

    I have created a form in LiveCycle Designer.  At the end of that form, I would like a Summary text box that expands to allow the person who is filling out the form to type as much information as is necessary and it will all be visible/print when they are done.  I have the field to the point where it will expand (finally!) but I have requested that the field allow page breaks (including all subforms it is contained within) but when it expands, it all carries over to the next page and doesn't allow us to go beyond one page of typing.  Is there anyway to remedy this situation so the text will actually "flow" from one page to another instead of just carrying it over?

    I appreciate you replying to my post and maybe this is just that I have never used the forum before but your reply said that you hoped the sample document would help me and I don't see a sample document attached to the reply.  Am I missing something?

  • How to get text flow onto the next page from template "travel journal"?

    When wanting to create a new document, I chose "Travel journal" between "side layouts" in templates. When it opens, you see one page with pictures and example of text.
    When I start to write my text in the text field, it disappears when I get to the end of the page.
    What do I do to have the text move/flow to the next page automatically?

    The "Travel Journal" template is a page layout document & uses text boxes. There is no default flow to another page. You need to insert a new page & then create a linked text box. You can link existing text boxes or create a new text box linked to an existing one. Click the linking triangle then click to create a new box or click an existing box to link to it.

  • How to go to the next Page while generating a text file ??

    All,
    I am generating a text File dynamically based on the information from the Database. I need to give some Page breaks after every 80 lines. Does any one has any clue how can I do that.
    I am able to generate the file though.
    Also I need to set the Font to Courier.
    Please let me know if anyone has done anything like this.
    I am using "BufferedWriter" for generating the text file.
    Thanx

    Basically - I have to repeat the header if the records goes to the next Page. My records can increase decrease dynamically as the data is coming from the Database.
    I do not know how to find out whether it has reached the next page or not ??
    If you know by any chance how can I repeat the header once it goes to the next Page that would be a great help.
    Thanx

    I know this is probably simple and i did try to figure this out on my own, but had no luck.
    All help is appreciated.

    you can always use an array if there's no pattern to your positions:
    var positionA:Array=[ [100,20], [2,222], [55,2], [201,111], [78,23] ];
    import flash.net.URLLoader;

    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=ScottMitchell"));
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
    function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
        processData(e.target.data);
    function processData(data:String):void {
        var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
    for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){
    var tf:TextField=new TextField();
    addChild(tf);
    tf.multiline=true;

  • How to cause a button to compute a text field on the same page?

    I have a button called "Generate Hash" and I want to have it compute a text field and display it on the same page with the results of a simple sql query:
    select 'P'||substr(Sys_guid(),1,10) from dual;
    Is this a difficult thing to do?

    Hello Patrick,
    Nope - not hard at all. Create a Process on your page that says:
    :Pxxx_HASH_VALUE := 'P'||substr(Sys_guid(),1,10);
    Then in the Condition portion of the Process, Set the section labeled "When Button Pressed (Process After Submit When this Button is Pressed)" equal to the button you wish to use for the compute.

  • I need help with button coding to go to the next scene

    Hi! I have been using flash cs5 for a few years now and I've never been great with coding since i usually just do swf animations. However I am in the process of writing a story/book and I wanted to make a little guide for all of the dragons species in the story.
    Example: I had it so there is a title screen and a start button, you click the start button and you are taken to the next scene; which is a picture of a mist dragon I drew and then audio plays; describing mist dragons. in the corner there is a "next" button and when you click it, it takes you to the next species and the audio plays just like with the mist dragon.
    my major problem is my code is muffed up( I know it is totally incomplete, but this code is what I am comfortable working with, anybody know whaat the full code is?). I typed in what I could remember from class... could anybody help me?
    here is the code i remembered:
    Stop();
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK…
    function btn1Listener(e:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(1, "mist dragon");

    use:
    Stop();
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1Listener);
    function btn1Listener(e:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(1, "mist dragon"); //<- you may want gotoAndPlay(1,"mist dragon")

  • Expanding text fields side-by-side in a 2 column layout

    Hi,
    I've been trying to create a form that is a 2-column layout. This form contains expanding text fields that are side-by-side with additional form elements underneath. I managed to get the expandable fields to work, however, if the user writes too much in the text field in the left-hand column and it wraps onto a second page, the text field in the right-hand gets pushed to the second page. I am wondering if someone has experience with this and could help me figure out how to make sure the text field in the right-hand column stays in place as the text field in the left-hand column expands onto 2 pages.
    I've tried to wrap each text-field in their own subform that stays fixed, but that seemed to cause the field to expand over the elements below it.
    Take care,
    Carolyn

    for my bachelor-thesis I'm trying to create a 2 column layout in pages. The left column should contain all contents, the right column should only contain notes and additional information supporting the 'main' column. So the right column only contains a little text every now and then. Using the Layout Inspector and setting up 2 columns fills the right column automatically withe the contents overflowing the left column. What I'm hoping to archive is to create a 2 column layout leaving the right column blank, allowing me to insert Text-fields (unless there's a better way) wherever I need to add an annotation.
    Hi Lukas,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
    Since you want the text to flow from page to page in the left column, it would appear best to use a single column for the main text, and to limit the width of that column using the right margin stop.
    That leaves the right half of the page open for a series of text boxes (or shapes, as shown) to contain the notes and additional information.
    I would start with a single text box or shape, resize it to the width you want, then duplicate that one each time you need a new box. That way all your text blocks have a common width to begin with, and if you take care to use only the handle at the center of the bottom edge to resize them, you will not disturb that width setting.
    As noted earlier, the floating objects will not automatically travel with the text they apply to if editing causes that text to move.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Expanding text field & page numbers

    Got a form with an expanding text field.  Also have page # of # on the form.  When the text field expands to multiple pages, it overlays (?) the page # of #.
    Any idea on how I can not have the text field expand to cover it up ??

    The colors can be adjusted ....if its blue on your machine that is OK.
    Can you share the form with me so I can see what is happening?
    Can you send it to [email protected] and I will have a look. Please include a description of the issue in your email.

  • JSF - Read a text file and diplay lines of text data on the web page

    For one of my projects, I need to display lines of text data on the web page using Java Server Faces Technology. The raw data could be from simple text files or sockets or anything. (Getting the data is not my issue but displaying is). Could anybody send answers with sample code. In servlet, one could do this by -

    Thanks mjolinor.  Works great!
    Two questions.
    1. Could you plz suggest how this could be modified so this code would read the file in or accept it from the pipeline instead of wrapping the (@' around the data?
    2. Could you plz briefly describe some of the details of the code so I can further research and understand.
    Thanks for your help.
    Thanks for your help! SdeDot
    1. It already reads in the file.  The (@' .. '@) bits are just there to create a file using your test data to demonstrate that it works.
    2.  Not user what kind of "details" you want.  There really isn't much there, and get-help on the cmdlets used should provide information on what's going on with them in that script.

  • Add a field to the last page of a document file only

    Hello,
    I currently have a script which will add signature and text fields to the first page of a document.
    The script is required to specify the "last page" of the document and not the page number, as each file will vary with the number of pages.
    The script is in run in batch processing on multiple files which are not open (usually 50 at a time).
    If anyone can please advise how to modify the script I will be most grateful.
    // Create Date field dynamically for employee signature field
    var f = this.addField("Todaydate", "text", 0,
    [60, 54, 135, 75]);
    f.userName = "Today's Date";
    f.value = "Automatic Update";
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.ltGray;
    // Create signature field dynamically for employee
    var f = this.addField("mySignature", "signature", 0,
    [120, 85, 330, 105]);
    f.setAction("OnFocus", "var f = this.getField('Todaydate'); f.value = util.printd('d/mm/yyyy', new Date());");

    Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate your quick response.
    The script has been modified as you suggested and the fields are now added to the last page of each document and is working perfectly.
    I have included the modified script as follows for reference:
    // Create Date field dynamically for employee signature field, add fields to the last page of every file
    // Determine the last page of this document
    var page = this.numPages - 1;
    var f = this.addField("Todaydate", "text", page,
    [60, 54, 135, 75]);
    f.userName = "Today's Date";
    f.value = "Automatic Update";
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.ltGray;
    // Create signature field dynamically for employee
    var f = this.addField("mySignature", "signature", page,
    [120, 85, 330, 105]);
    f.setAction("OnFocus", "var f = this.getField('Todaydate'); f.value = util.printd('d/mm/yyyy', new Date());");
