Multiple Master Pages - how to apply to forms?

Hello!
I need to build a form with two pages, one with portrait orientation and the other one with landscape orientation.
So I created two Master Pagers, one for each, with correspondent orientations.
The first page is ok, following the portrait Master Page definitions. Now I want to apply the landscape Master Page definitions on the second page - I haven't found where to do it.
Please, where do I change this?
Thank you very much for any hints.

HI Niall,
I'm glad to have found this thread as I have some forms which need 3 Master pages and something is wrong but I can't figure it out.
The 1st Master Page is portrait and will be used for the first two pages of content.
The 2nd Master Page is landscaped and will be used for the third page (or more) content.
The 3rd Master page has 'fixed' Revision History content and just is what it is, and is ALWAYs last on every form we do.
So I was able to get the first two content pages on the first Master page (portrait) and it looks fine.
So far, so good.
Now for the problem:
The next "content" page is landscaped, but I cannot put content on it. In fact, if I click on that page, the Master Page is highlighted.
If I delete it, the 2nd Master Page is deleted as well.
Moving on:
The next page does use the appropriate landscaped Master Page and looks good.
The final page is the Rev history page, as expected.
NOTES: on the difficult page I have tried to use the information you have here but it doesn't work as it appears to be a Master Page.
How does a master page show up in the Design View and not allow content to be placed on it? How can I remove it?
Thanks an awful lot - hope your weather is better than ours!
Slan!

Dynamic form with multiple master pages

I have a 7 pg form that has different data in the footer area. I placed the footer info on it's own separate master page and set the page to the corresponding page numbers. I moved the content area above the footer section so my content can flow to the next page properly. But my problem is since I set the Pagination area to "Place: Top of Page "Page 2" and the rest accordingly, I'm getting an almost blank page with the data from the previous page and the next page pushes to a separate page of its own for every page. Not sure how to make the form flow continuous, this is my first time having to do a form this way. Typically I set the pages when I'm done to "Following Previous" instead of "Top of Next page" in the Pagination Place field for each section and everything works fine then. I've never had to deal with a different master page for each page in the form.
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Jim

If you have 7 pages with different footers, wouldn't it be easier to have the footer also part of the body page instead of Master page.
Unless you are adding dynamic content at runtime, you can keep the footer in the body page itself. That way you can avoid multiple master pages.
If you still have issues, you can share the form, so I can have a look at it.
Thanks

Apply multiple master pages to multiple layers

I have a document that has multiple layer and I need to apply a different master page to each layer.
Layers are as follows and in this order:
     USA Pricing
     No Pricing
     Euro Pricing
     Yen Pricing
     and so on.
I have a master page created for each versions layer. I lock all layers except the USA layer and apply the USA Pricing master to that layer it looks great.
So I lock that layer and unlock the next layer and apply the applicable master to that layer and so on but, even though the other layers are locked what ever master
I last applied is the one that sticks to all layers.
How do you get the master page to stick to each layer without using the Master page override to each layer and making it become part of the page?
If you do that and then you have a change to the Master page on a specific layer/version you have to edit every page and can not simply make a global change on the applicable master!!
Thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

Do you mean that only one master page can be applied per page and that it is automatically applied to all layers of that page?
"so it sounds like you need to create a new master page with the attributes you need for each layer included in one place."
I don't understand what you mean by this? I have created multiple master pages that have everything I need on them to be applied to each layer!
They just don't stick to the individual layer! Maybe it the "included in one place" part of your reply that will work but, I don't understand what you mean by that!

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.

Multiple Master pages in a form

Hi All,
I am developing a 10 paged form in adobe LiveCycle Designer. I need the first page to have the page number as 1of 1, Second to 6th page to have numbers 1of 5, 2 of 5...5 of 5,Seventh page to have no number and the last three pages to have numbers 1of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3.
Please help me in doing this with MASTER PAGES. All replies are appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh Ravindran

Place a text field on master page and place the below script on the event of layout ready. This will work for exact 10 pages (as per ur requirement), we can change for any pages, but need to know the page count before.
//Page 1
if(xfa.layout.page(this) == 1){
this.rawValue
= xfa.layout.page(this) + " of " + 1;}
//Page 2 - 6
if((xfa.layout.page(this) > 1) && (xfa.layout.page(this) <= 6)) {
this.rawValue
= (xfa.layout.page(this)-1) + " of " + (xfa.layout.pageCount()-5);}
//Page 7
if(xfa.layout.page(this) == 7){
this.rawValue
= "";}
//Page 8-10
if(xfa.layout.page(this) > 7) {
this.rawValue
= (xfa.layout.page(this)-7) + " of " + (xfa.layout.pageCount()-7);}
Hope this will help.

Master Page - Theme only applies to 'Owners' not Visitors

Hi,
I'd initially raised this as an issue in O365 forums but was pointed to here to help try and resolve the issue. Issue below:
We have designed a new theme for our default site https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com (not the public site). In Master Pages https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx we
have set our default theme to GCC/gcc (the name of our theme). We have then applied this to all subsites by clicking: Reset all subsites to inherit this site master page setting.
This works for me and the person who designed the theme and we can see the new theme. However anyone on that site with visitor / read permission cannot see the new theme and they just get presented a default theme with some css styles that don't appear.
I did notice that if i browse to https://[tenant information was removed by moderator].sharepoint.com/_catalogs/masterpage/Forms/Html%20Master%20Pages.aspx The master page gallery page on the parent site that the theme isn't listed in there
and there are two themes there in draft. How can we upload the theme in to master page gallery and publish the theme out?
Would this be the reason that our visitors to our site cannot see our new theme? Is there a way to get around the theme issue?

Hi Anandakrishnan,
The master page is currently published as a major version however the theme still only shows up for owners / members but not for visitors. Is this a permissions issue somewhere?
We created the theme by doing the following:
creating a new master page with a CSS file, published this master page and assigned it as the Site Master Page and the System Master Page.
If you are an owner or member of the site you can see the theme but if you are a visitor you cannot. Any other ideas?
We are using SharePoint Online and the plan we have is SharePoint Online Plan 1 as part of Office 365 business premium plan.

Multiple master pages, But only first master page is printed or is shown in pdf preview.

Hi,
I have 8 master pages in my adobe form, But when I see the PDF preview or print only the first master page is shown or printed. Can anyone please tell me how to print or pdf preview all the master pages. The contents in the master pages are different.
Thanks in advance.

Master pages are used a background for body pages (similar to a background image).
You should put all your contents on separate body pages instead master pages.

Facing Master Pages, how do I make them reassign themselves to left or right when I add an odd # of pages?

I've been designing a travel journal & photo book series, and my process is that I have Master Pages A-D, facing. I'll put in all the text (Masters B, Left and Right), then I go back through and insert the photo pages between the correct dates. This generally works fine when I'm adding an even amount of photo pages, but if there happens to be an odd amount of photos for a specific date, then in shifts all the following pages so that instead of the two facing pages layouts being LEFT/RIGHT, it shifts to RIGHT/LEFT:
This is how it should look (LEFT/RIGHT):
But then if I add a right-oriented photo page, like this:
it them shifts everything following it (RIGHT/LEFT), like this:
At first, I thought it was just the text pages, because the design requires every text box on a LEFThand page to be centered, but the RIGHThand ones to be left of center, but If I add a LEFThand photo page inbetween the two incorrectly oriented pages in the previous photo, the photo page does the same thing:
While doing this fixes the pages following it (because it's now an even amount of pages that have been inserted), I don't understand why inserting a RIGHThand layout into a RIGHThand slot doesn't correct it. If I drag the Master Page INTO the page (as opposed to adding a page), I get this dialog box:
(note: this does NOT happen if the orientation of the facing pages is the correct one) I looked at every page's size and page setting (via page tool), and they're all the same:
MY TWO QUESTIONS:
1. Why does this happen and can I fix it/keep it from doing that?
2. Is there a way to select an option or something that shifts everything so that if a text page starts as a LEFThand page, but then gets shifted over one, it'll change to a RIGHThand page? (I'm using CS6 for Mac Snow Leopard)
Thank you so much!

Why does one page have a different orientation than the others? If it is printed, you should keep all same size and orientations, exceptions only for pages which have different final sizes!
You should set up you margins on the master page according where the text frames should be. But your frames are somehow laying on your pages without any relation to the margins borders.
When you add an odd number of pages—it doesn't matter how—, it will shuffle succeeding left pages to the right, right pages to the left. That is how it is, except if you keep spread together or you don't allow to shuffle pages.
If you want to adjust the content from a left page to a right page layout and vice versa you have to use either Layout Adjustment (correct margins are VERY important) or the new Liquid Layout Concept, good descriptions to learn this complex thematic are in the manual and in linked tutorial movies.
If you insert a page based on a master it will use on the left side of a spread the left side of the master's spread and on the right side of a spread the right master's spread, if you grab the left or right side has no influence.
Another influence comes from your text styles, used in keep options in paragraph styles. There you can determine that the paragraph style forces a headline to the left or to the right. Important with headlines in longer layouts.
You should give your master more identifying names, not A-Master, B-Master, but like TIT-Titel, STA-Standard, but this is not the main problem here.

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

Master Pages: how to achieve more advanced layouts?

I've wrapped my head around Master Pages in the past few weeks, but now that I'm trying to get more advanced with layout options, my goals seem to beyond any resources I can find to give me guidance. What I want to achieve is pretty simple. I'm trying to benchmark some of the design that I like from Adobe Help. Here are four things I want to achieve, with the following link as a visual reference:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS0165E923-AD7A-4695-85C8-C6E7AB841171.html# WS2D5E01D8-46F3-4993-937C-2F1D2910E43D
1. How can I place the topic title at the top of the page, as it appears in the link above (e.g. "Master Pages" that appears below breadcrumbs). Is there anything in RH like the variables or building blocks in FM (e.g. <$chapnum>) that would allow me to insert it in HTML view or use some similar method?
2. I would like to adjust the indentation of my Topic TOC, but without bullets or numbering. If you choose "No List Style" in the "Format Placeholder" dialogue box, the options to adjust Indent and Spacing parameters disappear. Is there any workaround that you know of?
3. Is there a way to create pop-up links or interactive functionality like the "Was this helpful button.?" in the link example above? Can I just tinker around in the code view using HTML, CSS, and js to achieve results similar to this example? I would like to create some type of feedback mechanism for our users.
4. I've managed to emulate some of the borders or lines on my master page by inserting HTML in HTML view. But I wonder if there is a compelling reason to instead manage this in CSS? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

The topic title is normally at the top of the page. If you mean you want the breadcrumbs above it, then add a placeholder for the breadcrumbs in the header of the master page associated with the topic, then the title will drop down below that.
Put the Topic TOC in a table with a narrow first column?
Probably with some scripting. Pass on that one.
If you update a master page linked to a topic, only header and footer updates show. Test that. If it fails, then you have your reason for using CSS.

Show/hide /print element on multiple master pages

Hi again,
I'm continuing to have a problem with something that should be simple but I can't figure out.
I have a large form.
On one of the pages there's a button that says 'is there a non disclosure order in place' - radio button with yes/no.
If the user selects 'yes' I want the words 'non disclosure' to appear on all my pages.
I've gone about this by creating a text field (non editable) on each master page. It's down at the bottom middle and doesn't interfer with any other element. I've called each of these fields 'nonDis'
Radzmar and Josh Geurian have been brilliant in helping me but I'm still not quite getting it.
Back to the page that the radio buttons are on...
On the click scripting event I have this code:
var mp = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.CoreMaster[*].nonDis");
var mp2 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.COREMASTER2[*].nonDis");
var mp3 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.INFORMATIONSHARING[*].nonDis");
var mp4 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.CHRONOLOGY[*].nonDis");
var mp5 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.NATPRACTICEMODEL[*].nonDis");
var mp6 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.ASSESSMENT[*].nonDis");
var mp7 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.PLAN[*].nonDis");
var mp8 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.REVIEW[*].nonDis");
var mp9 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.PLAN2[*].nonDis");
var mp10 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO[*].nonDis");
var mp11 = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.OPEN[*].nonDis");
for (var i = 0; i < mp10.length; i += 1) {
     mp10.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp11.length; i += 1) {
     mp11.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp.length; i += 1) {
     mp.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp2.length; i += 1) {
     mp2.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp3.length; i += 1) {
     mp3.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp4.length; i += 1) {
     mp4.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp5.length; i += 1) {
     mp5.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp6.length; i += 1) {
     mp6.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp7.length; i += 1) {
     mp7.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp8.length; i += 1) {
     mp8.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
for (var i = 0; i < mp9.length; i += 1) {
     mp9.item(i).presence = this.rawValue != "No" ? "visible" : "hidden";
I've referenced each of the nonDis text fields individually but only the fileds in the master pages: CoreMaster, COREMASTER2, SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO and OPEN work. Despite their ordering in the code they happen to be the first four master pages that are used in order in the document. The actual order is: OPEN, SUMMARYESSENTIALINFO, CoreMaster, COREMASTER2 - these are then followed by INFORMATIONSHARING and contine down the list in order.
I should mention that each nonDis field appears on the top level of each of the master pages (ie. not in a sub form). I have a feeling it's something perhaps to do with my above code maybe not being succint enough - or there being a better way to write it. It could also perhaps be something to do with the transition between the last page that does work (using COREMASTER2 masterpage) to the first one that doesn't (using INFORMATIONSHARING master page).
There is also another big issue in that as soon as I click the print button all the nonDis fields revert back to their opening state of invisible and they stay that way despite the radio button remaining selected on 'Yes' - if i toggle yes/no they reappear on screen, but again disappear when printing. I can't let this happen as the form is meant to be printed.
So please help... this is (I think) the last piece of the puzzle in a project that has taken months. If there's anything else I can provide you with to help please just ask.

Hi Radzmar,
Almost there... I think!
It worked up to a point. As soon as I click/toggle yes/no the nonDis field does indeed appear on each and every page. However as soon as I send to print they all disappear.
Doing a few tests it's because of several causes (I think). I have a number of tables which can grow when the user adds info (in fact most text fields have this ability). Also, I have text fields full of information for the user which I have scripted to disappear when sending to print (so the printed form contains user data rather than pages of background info). Finally I have a whole section whose content alters radically depending on which department the user belongs to.
I've noticed that as soon as a page expands to effectively create another page the nonDis field disappears again (the radio button remains selected as 'Yes') - so my gut feeling is that the code above works only if the page count remains the same. Doing more tests I can see that as soon as even one text field adds another page to the form the nonDis disappears again.
Finally, I've also done a test on my clean form - with only the radio button, the nonDis field (on a master page) and a text field and if I set this box to flowed and expand the height as soon as the field goes beyond the page to create another page the nonDis disappears once again even though the button remains as 'yes'

Photoshop button added to master page does not apply to correct spot on pages attached

When working on the master page on the tutorial for Muse, after adding the photoshop button, it does not align correctly to the pages that are attached with the master file? It ends up underneath the footer and expanding the page longer than i fixed it to? How can I fix this?

Try to optimize the image that you are using, this can happen if you are using original file size being large enough to expand.

Master page unnecessarily repeated in adobe forms.

Hi ,
The scenario i m trying to develop is to have data and an image field on the first page followed by only data on the next page.For this i have created two master pages and two body pages.The first master page has got an image field attached and 4 content areas.The second master page has got only 4 content areas.The pagination of the bodypages is done as described below :
bodypage1--placed on master page 1,after : go to next content area ,if dataset must be paginated :goto next master page
bodypage2--placed on master page 2,after : go to next content area
The problem i am facing is result is displyed like :
data on page like master page1 (required)
empty page like masterpage1 (NOT REQD)
rest data on pages like masterpage2(reqd)
THIS EMPTY PAGE IS A PROBLEM.Can anyone tell where i m going wrong?
Thanks,
Ashwani Rohilla

Hello,
For this you need not create a master page, body page...complete design your whole layout in design view of default page...and dont change the settings of pagination tab... I think that should work.
thanks,
Rakesh.

How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
Caroline

Hey Mandy,
Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
Thx,
C
