Multiple-page table starts on next page
When I include a Table which is more than one page long in my Pages document (version 5.5.1) it always starts on the next page. It does not matter how much space there is on the page. Even if there is only a single line on that page.
I included the table as "Inline with text". Can I force it to start on the same page or is is a general bug of the newes version of pages? It used to work last year with an earlier version of Pages.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
this drove me crazy. What works for me is this: instead of adding normal "returns" after the last paragraph or table, add a line break by pressing Shift and Return at the same time (i.e., as if you want to continue within a paragraph, but start a new line anyway). If you turn on menu point "View => Show Invisibles", then the result of a normal Return is the weird mirrored P character. After pressing Shift-Return, you will see an arrow pointing down and to the left.
Hope this helps

Table not going across multiple pages
I have two simple side-by-side tables that I want to stretch across multiple pages when necessary by clicking the Add Another button object.
I think I've done everything necessary to have the table repeat on multiple pages:
1. My table is in a subform.
2. The subform is set to Flowed.
3. The table has Allow Page Breaks with Content
4. The table is not a group table
5. I have the Rows in Binding to Repeat Row for Each Data Item
What I do notice is that when I click on either Table and then click the Pagination tab in Object--- Pagination is greyed out
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thank you.Hi,
first of all thanks for the link to the tutorial
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Example of building dynamic tables here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a.
I have created a header on my master-page (just a Logo-picture). When my dynamic table reaches the end of the page, it creates a new page - any problem yet.
But on the new page, the table just starts directly on the top (y = 0). In this way the table is placed above my logo.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Anything like "check if there is a header on master page and set new rows on next table under the header"? -
Import XML table over multiple pages with rowspan "bug"
Hi, I came across the following oddity:
I have an XML-file, and a XSL-file to convert the XML-data into a table.
It contains a header, body & a footer.
This table, however, has a rowspan in the first column, spanning [x] rows, where [x] is the amount of items per category, like this example:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Appetizers (3 items)
Appetizers1
Appetizers2
Appetizers3
Soup and Salad (4 items)
Soup and Salad1
Soup and Salad2
Soup and Salad3
Soup and Salad4
Deserts (2 items)
Deserts1
Deserts2
Footer
This works fine, as long as all data fits on 1 page.
If I, for example, have 40 "soups & salads", and thus spanning more pages, the "rowspan" is NOT continued on the 2nd page!
This results into an odd-looking table.
I've included the sample-XML & XSL files to see it in practice, and I leave this post with the following question:
Am I missing something? Or is it 'something I have to live with, and edit things manually anyway?

Scanning multiple pages - pop-up for "Next Page" appears
I'm running Acrobat Profession version 7 on OS X 10.5.
My scanner is an Epson Perfection 3170 with an automatic document
feeder.
The settings for scanning seem to have been goofed up -- any
assistance in resetting them would be appreciated.
Previously, I could drop a handful of pages into the feeder, choose
FILE => CREATE PDF => FROM SCANNER in Acrobat, set the scanner to ADF
(automatic document feeder), and it would create a single PDF from the
whole stack.
Now, the first page scans, the second page feeds through without
scanning, and then I get a pop-up called "Acrobat Scan". It says,
"Next Page" and "Front of Sheet 2" is selected (no other options) --
and I can choose DONE or NEXT.
If I choose NEXT, it scans the next page (and then skips another page).
When I choose DONE, it goes back to Acrobat and the PDF is created.
(Obviously, every other page in the document is missing.)
It never did this before, and it's kind of pointless having an
automated feeder if I have to stop after every page.
A few points:
- reinstalling the Epson software did not help
- I notice that I get a separate pop-up the first time the scanner dialog opens -- this pop-up allows me to choose a scanner (only one is currently installed). Don't remember getting this before the problem started.
- I have another program that uses the same scanner -- it continues to scan multiple pages without interruption. Ergo, I assume this is an Acrobat issue.
Any suggestions on fixing this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks! -cThanks, Brian!
I've tried turning the scanner off/on, both after the computer is booted and when it's shut off.
Between the need to select "Next Paqe" all the time, and the fact that the scanner skips every other page, I'm really annoyed!
Does anyone have any other suggestions on where I might find a solution? I considered contacting Adobe, but their per-incident support seems kind of expensive.
Thnx! -c -
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,
mFutureUse Pages '09. Pages 5.5.1 is a lost cause.

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm producing meeting minutes, which have all the actions presented in a table. For some of these actions, as they are so long, they span multiple pages. Once I imported the document into Pages, it drops the table off the title row of the table, and then moves it to the next page. It also doesn't extend the information in the cell onto the 3rd page, it just hides it behing the next cell, which is on the next page.
All the help links I've found give clear instructions as to how it can be done from a Mac, but I'm working off an IPad3.
Please help...?The version of Pages for iPad is kind of a stripped down version of the Mac version. The iPad version has a terrible time with tables. And if you import a doc from your Mac or PC Pages will try to make it as close as possible to the original but you will see some changes and if you have tables they do tend to get all messed up. This has been my experience at least. This is why when I need to be able to work from a doc from my PC on my iPad I try to use OnLive or OnCloud (I am a Windows user)
Or I try to use QuickOffice which does a pretty good job of importing docs and not messing up the formatting. -
Orphan table header at bottom of page when page breaks a table across multiple pages
Hi all,
I think similar questions have been asked before but I have not found an answer.
Here's the scenario:
I have several dynamic tables in a dynamic form. The layout is flowed, and everything can grow and shrink as needed. That all works.
However, my tables have headers. Occasionally when one of these tables is large and needs to break across multiple pages, there will be just enough room at the bottom of the previous page to show the next table header, but not enough space to show any of the related table rows. So it ends up looking silly, with just an orphaned header at the bottom of one page, and then the table continues on the next.
I have my tables set up so that headers get repeated on subsequent pages, by setting the header row to "repeat row for each data item" on the binding tab. I would like to keep that functionality, but I just want to find a way to avoid these "orphaned" table headers that sometimes appear.
I have tried the "keep with next" option. However, although this does push the rendering of the header to the next page, it seems that according to livecycle the table still officially began on the previous page. Therefore I get a duplicate header because of the "repeat row for each data item" option.
I have also tried having two header rows, one that is set to only be displayed on the initial page, and the other that is set to appear only on subsequent pages (pagination tab). This did not work - I ended up with duplicate table headers.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!You shouldn't have "repeat row for each data item" selected for header rows.
You should have "include header row in initial page" and "include header row in subsequent pages" selected on the Pagination tab.
Then using a "keep with next" might work ok. -
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.

Apply percentage upcharge - multiple tables, multiple pages
Creating a price book with multiple tables on multiple pages. When it comes time for a price increase, can I apply a percentage (for instance, 3%) upcharge to all or specific tables in the book? Is there an easy way to do this?
Why not have one location that has the percent increase you wish to use, then refer a column next to the original Price with "Marked up price" that uses the original price times the one cell that has your percent in it. This way you have one location to type in the increase, and it reflects on all tables.
If you want only specific tables at one time, but want to choose, then create a check list that you check off which tables get the price increase. In the "Marked up price" columns, you then put an IF statement that will show original only if its box in unchecked in the list table.

Smart form problem with multiple pages & table problem
Hi experts,
I have a problem with my smart form with multiple pages
Situation: I have a smart form that ALWAYS has at least 2 pages. In one page the quotation, in the second page (basically this is the 3rd page as the 2nd page is optional) the terms and conditions. Sometimes however, when there are many items in the quotation more than 1 page is needed for the quotation.
The (optional) second page of a quotation has a different header than the first page of a quotation. So I made a second page with 2 secondary windows (where the header texts are in). The main window is after the secondary windows and has to finish the quotation.
The problem is that my headers of the second page are never printed, it stays a blank space. The table however does continue and is printed.
Another problem I have is that I have a table (with the quotations) with 6 columns. The first 2 columns are displayed correctly but once the 3rd column the columns are shown on a lign below.
Regards,
PJI would suggest another approach to this problem.
Use just one page. For the headers on the first page, use a secondary window and on the conditions tab, choose the additional event - Only on First Page.
For the different header on the second page, create another secondary window on the same page (probably even overlapping the first header on your layout). But in this one, on the conditions tab, choose the additional event - Not on First Page.
The table should flow as you would be using the Main window for this one.
As for columns, if they are too wide and wont fit in the same line, it would move to the next line. So you would have to re-adjust the line width and test.
Hope this resolves your problem.
Regards,
Ancy

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

Dynamic table header/footer on multiple pages stay original
hi experts,
i've got a form with a dynamic table. this means that i have a footerrow with mapped information if it should be visible or not. so the table can have from 1 to 40 columns.
i did some scripting in the table's initialize section:
loop over count of colums and set the headerrow, row1 and footerrow elements for index x to hidden.
everything works out fine BUT if the data spans over multiple pages the headerrow on pages 2 to last is original again. means that the hiding of cells is not effective any more. same with footerrow (but here its fine at last page and original at page 1 to last -1).
i tried to hide cells again in layout:ready section for the other instances of the headerrow.
cells got hidden, but the still visible cells didnt relocate to the left (if i hide it, there should be no space between staying cells).
can anyone please give me a hint what i am missing here?
does anyone have a simple sample for this task? its all about the header/footer for multiple pages!
thanks a lot!
daapooWhen the footer goes to the 2nd page the page subform is incremented so you will have to reference the page subform as well. I suggest that you add a button (this is for a test only) to the footer subform and add the code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render the form and make sure the footer stays on one page. Hit the button and take note of the someExpression. Now add enough rows to force the footer to a new page. Hit th ebutton again and take note of the changed somExpression. So to solve your problem you will have to find out which page your footer is on. and then construct your expression to incorporate this chane in expression. Note that the indexes are 0 based but the page numbering is 1 based.
Hope that helps

Page break, or start to next page?
Hi,
I have a paragraph style that must be mirrored in a running header. So, I must create a single style for both paragraphs staying in the same page, and paragraphs starting in a new page. Therefore, I must add the break manually when needed (unless InDesign accepts a running header format of the boolean type AND).
I'm in doubt on how to do with sending paragraphs to a new page. I see two viable options: inserting a page break at the beginning of the paragraph, or going to the Keep Options palette and choosing Start On Next Page. The first one has a handy shortcut, the second one, as far as I can see, has no shortcut.
Apart for how comfortable it is adding the one or the other break, and the added line when using the break charachter, is there any other consideration I should keep in mind? Why the one solution is preferable to the other? Are there compatibility issues when exporting/importing text files, web pages of ebooks?

I think that the commercial plug-in Power Headers from in-tools.com has the kind of logic you describe.

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
HelmutHello 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.
<b>( Copy the below text into the notepad. )</b>
<b>Order no. text customer
Order items</b>
=================================================================
1 Computer Mr. Smith
<b>Order item no. short text quantity price</b>
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
<b>Order item no. short text quantity price</b>
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,

Regards
Srikanth SHy Otto,
his requirement was a bit different from what you answered I am saying this because i've stumbled on the same problem. I have a table that varies between 4 or 8 rows and let's say half of the page it's enough for it. But i need this table to appear on every page. I created the table in the Master Page, but it shows only on the first page. The other pages will not display the table.
Thanks,
Alex
