Page Breaks and empty frames

I have several repeating frames, and a Page Break After on each one. This works fine, but if a frame is null/empty, it still causes a page break.
Is there a way to prevent the page break if the repeating frame has no data?
I have Vertical = Variable on each frame.
thanks in advance,
Mark

Try using format mask.
e.g
if :myfield is null then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
*** :myfield is the data field in that frame.
Hope it 'll work for you.

RH8 for Word - Strange page breaks and non-scoll headers

RH8 and Word 2007 generating WinHelp 2000.
Normal page breaks are full page width.
When I insert one in manually, it shows as only 2 inches wide.
A tiopic with this short break does not show as a non-scroll header and does not get included in the browse sequence
Any ideas folks?

Funny you should ask as I've been trying to figure this out too!
This is a Word 2007 issue - I assume you are using Office 2007? I am using RH7, but I believe my solution will work for you because it is Word, not RH.
Anyhow, assuming my Word 2007 assumption is spot-on, you need to change word options.
Go to the Office button, select Word Options.
Select Advanced.
Scroll to bottom of the window and look for Compatibility options (very bottom of the window).
Expand the layout options.
Check "don't split apart page break and paragraph mark". (You can apply this to the current open doc you see or all docs - if all docs, you will probably change the global normal template, which you may not want to do.)
Click Okay.
Note, if you go to recheck the setting, the format is now listed as "custom".
Specifically, what was happening is the page break was taking on a "normal" style with 0pts before and after. This caused for me a big gap between the top of the help window and my heading 1 style. (I have my Heading 1 style set to 6pt before and 2pt after and font is 12pt.) Changing the above makes the page break itself take on the Heading 1 style which then also expands across the draft window instead only a couple inches. Other than affecting how the Heading 1 might appear in the compiled help system, I don't see any probelm with using the page break with the normal style applied to it, however, it is a little disconcerting. I noticed this particularly in the Outline view as I sort the pages in my the doc alphabetically based on Heading 1 so I can locate info easily by client name. When I used the "normal" or should I say "abnormal" style page break, these page breaks were excluded from the sort and I had no page breaks! (At least there is still an undo option!)
I'm not sure, but you may need to modify the robohelp.dot template to keep this permanent for your robohelp for word help systems.
In addition, your heading style probably does not have the paragraph format setting set to "keep with next", so change the style and that should add the non-scroll to the header.
One final piece of advice, have the "developer" tab showing in the ribbon. This allows you to access the template and see the styles in your doc. I would uncheck the "automatically update" option so that when you reopen the doc, it doesn't lose any doc specific style changes you made.

Page Breaks in Repeating Frame's

In my report, my query is a 184 column table. Select query is also a 184 column table.
There are Repeating frames in my layout editor, each contains 10 columns. From the 2nd repeating frame onwards, the page break before property is "Yes". Now if, for the 1st repeating frame there is data (10 columns only) Then the rest of the page is blank. All the page break before property is "Yes" How do I avoid these blank pages

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

Page breaks and 'Fit Page in Window' option

This may seem a stupid question but indulge me: when I add a page break InDesign is only showing me the very top of the text frame on the page the cursor has moved to. How do I get InDesign to honour the 'Fit Page to Window' option when I add page breaks? Do I really have to keep hitting command-0?

It does like to go exactly to the first line of the next page. It's not very intuitive.
However, you can hold down Alt and scroll the page up.
Or while holding alt - click and hold anywhere on the page. It will zoom out. Move the red box where you want to Zoom to, then release the mouse.
Or you could press Return a few times then delete the returns.

Page Break Before & Repeating Frame (Reports 10G - Windows)

Hi to all,
I have to give page break when a condition met in a tabular report.Like it s advised I tried some layout objects with page break before property true and wrote their return code true if this criteria occurs. But whatever I tried, I couldnt get my desired output.It gives page break but repeats a blank repeating frame in the next page but only with that object I added later with page break property. Anybody have an idea ?
Thanks...

Hi,
sounds like there's no child object for your object with page break before. This property has only impact of the object itself and all it's child objects. An object is a child object of another object, if the position of this objects has impact of the own position. This is only the case, if the parent object is vertical expandable and the child object is horizontally overlapping the virtual expand-region, or the child-object is anchored to the parent object.
So if you have this layout:
blue box fixed size
red box fixed size
yellow box fixed size
and you set page break before to the red box, you will get:
blue box
yellow box
-- page break
red box
If the red box is verical expandable you will get:
blue box
--page break*
red box
yellow box
So in your tabluar report your field of the report should be in a frame and this frame should be child object of your new object which must be vertical expandable or anchor them together.

Page breaks inside repeating frame

Hi,
I am developing a statutory report for India Localisation. In this report there is a repeating frame which has three sections inside. I want to ensure that each of these section prints on a new page all the time. Of course there will be some page wastage, but since the report is statutory it has a prescribed format which mandates this requirement. Each section is like a tabular column and it doesnt look good if it prints without any page break in between the sections.
Here is what i have tried, I have created three child frames inside the parent repeating frame and I tried to set page break after, page break before and page protect for each of these sections and I also tried various combinations of these 3 settings. But still I couldnot get it right.:-( It will be of great help to me if any one could suggest me a better approach.

Hi,
the "page break" properties are only active in parent-child relationships. So if your frame1 is not expandable vertical, frame2 is no child object ob frame1 and so the property page break after of frame1 is not relevant for frame2. So change your layout, that frame2 is child of frame1 and frame3 is child of frame2, then the page break after will run as you expect. You can do this via the property vertical elasticity or via using an anchor between the frames.

How to Insert a Page Break and Duplicate a Page in Pages 5.1

Pages 5 deprecated the "Word Processing" and "Page Layout" styles of document creation, but in 5.1, they have returned.
It seems that the DEFAULT is to "Word Processing," however it is possible to convert the document to a "Page Layout" document: In your open document, click File, then Convert To Page Layout.
So, for a Word Processing document, one only needs to click Insert and then Page Break, while in a Page Layout document, click Insert and then Page.
Unfortunately, the Duplicate Page function has NOT returned, but you can still select the entire contents of a page and copy it to a new page. Unfortunately, your perfect page layout won't copy over exactly, and guides don't copy over either.

Actually, I had an entire page worth of content that didn't change at all, but now that I think about it, that was probably because I had all of my content in boxes.
And I was careful to specify Pages 5.1 in my post heading to avoid confusion. It is VERY WELL documented that Apple removed loads of features in their new iWork apps - including all over this support forum.
Your obvious disdain for Pages 5 notwithstanding, the return of the Page Layout mode is a BIG DEAL to me, as Pages was otherwise just a word processor without it. Prevously, upgrading my Pages 4 documents to Pages 5 would render them un-editable.
So, instead of the seemingly default answer of "delete Pages 5 and use iWork '09" that I saw on just about every post regarding this particular issue, I'm offering a tidbit of information for those who actually want to try and use the current version the way it is.

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

Interactive Reporting Reports w/ Page Breaks and Charts

I have an IR report that is Grouped. I would like to page break after each group; however, when I set this up, it page breaks be/tw the report header and the very first group. Is there a way to avoid this issue?
Also, I have created charts from queries. When I drag them into a report body, I can not figure out how to control where the go (and stay). It seems the only way around the issue is to drag them into the report footer, but then if the report body is shorter from one query run to another, it seems to leave the charts on the pages where they were before instead of moving them up to the end of the report body. How can I fix so the chart's location moves depending on the length of the report?
Thanks.
Terri T.

Terri,
to clarify...Spring works within the same report area, for example a table followed by a chart in the Body. Spring allows the position of the top of the chart to be relative to the bottom of the table so as it grows or shrinks the chart maintains the same space between the two objects. without spring the top of the chart would be relative to the top of the report area it is in and as the table grew the objects would end up being layered.
You should not need to upload a new CSV file. You can just "Process" it and it will refresh the data. if the CSV file is moved from where it was first imported you will be prompted to find it otherwise the imported file section within the BQY will have any additional Rows and/or Columns that the updated CSV file has.
Make sense?

Using Page Breaks and Template Shifting

I'm working on a book. The book is in a word formate. I'm taking the text and porting it into InDesign with page after page being connected. There are 73 pages in total of pure copy once ported in. Now I'm going in and laying the media into the text. I have two basic master template designs that I use based on the content being talked about in the text. Example is Master Template A has a white background, and Master Template B which has a black background.
Since the book is alternating between templates depending on the content on the page the pages might look like this:
Page 1: Template A
Page 2: Template A
Page 3: Template B
Page 4: Template A
and so on. I have a question about page breaking. I'd like to always keep the content on page 3 on a master template B background.
However, if I add more content to A, or if I use a page break, the content on all subsequent pages gets pushed down (all pages are connected). So if I page break on Page 1, my content from page B gets pushed onto a template A background. This is obviously not what I wanted. Should there be another function besides page break that I should be using to put separaters? How can I make sure that my content on page 3 stays on a template B background?

Right now your text is threaded in one continuous story. When you add new text inthe middle, anything following that point is going to move. To prevent that you need to break the text into separate stories for eac type of content.
This is basically the same thing as dividing the chapters of a book so that each one starts onthe correct master page, which is didcussed at some length here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3993405#3993405

Allow page breaks and text overflow indicator

I have set up a sub form to allow page breaks within content which works but then the content that continues on the next page has the text overflow indicator showing and the text field does not expand which is what I want it to do. What do I need to do to get it to continue flowing?

I do not understand why this should be so difficult. What I am doing is just opening a blank form and I can either insert a text field or a subform. I then go to check allow page breaks within content and it is greyed out on a text field. I also can create the subform and it allows me to set it to flowed and allow page breaks but it then has a indicator that displays (Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting allow page breaks within content object of the parent object restrict this object from breaking between pages). The only thing that makes sense is the parent is the blank page form. I have searched all over the place and I cannot see anyplace to set the form page to allow page breaks. The only thing that is on the form is either a check box or a subform and thats it. It keeps having a problem with a parent object. The only 2 objects I see are the blank page and then the text field I add. Nothing seems obvious to fix this. This software does not appear to be very user friendly.

ALV Page Breaks and Scrolling

Hello! Could someone please help me with this one?
I have an ALV report that requires to have a page break every N lines. I've checked initially with similar posts on the forum, but so far all the solutions I've seen are based on the SORT-GROUP field. Has anyone discovered how to do the page break based on the line number?
Also, there's something weird with the scrolling of my report. Whenever I click the next page button, or press the Page Down, it goes to the very end of the report output. Do I need to set something in order for the page down/up to function properly?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
Please take a look at a previous post at Re: New Page in ALV for Value Change on a Field on the same topic.
Hope it helps.

'worksheet' issues- page breaks and auto fills

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have tried to figure out these issues by searching through the forums and I am just running out of time. I am completely self taught- and I have been only using the designer for about a month, so that should give you a good understanding of how out of my depth I am.
I am having 2 issues that are 'must fix':
1. I have text boxes on the first subform that autofill on the master page, content area. However, the autofil only seems to appear on the first page and not on subsequent pages (but other items on the master page do appear on subsequent pages).
2. I would like (and I don't know if this is possible) to seperate my subforms onto seperate pages- yet allow the subforms to flow when content area grows due to user input. At the very least, I would like to put them on seperate pages.
Also, does anyone know how to eliminate the "warning:javascript" window from the information boxes? I worry that the warning may throw off the users.

Hi Liz,
I have found what is not working for your masterpages textboxes.
For each textbox in the table inside the masterpage you have to change the data binding
Click on textbox ► Object Palette ► Binding tab ► Data Binding (Open, Save, Submit) ► Choose: Use global data
Now the information in these textbox should be shown on each pages.
If there is some tables which you consider them not at the right place in the form because of the breaking content, you can always decide if it should follow the next or previous object in the hierarchy.
By clicking on a table, you can access the tab Pagination in the Object Palette. By checking Keep with Next or Previous, you specify which way the table should be placed.
Hope this helps!!

How to influence Page Break and Keep Together options

Hello,
we are using Crystal Repost 13.1 and generate Reports via C# Code and ADO.NET Data.
Now to the problem.
We generate Invoices that show the detail position in several Detail sections. After the Detailsections there are Reportfooter Sections for net and gross sums, VAT info, payment terms, delivery adresses and so forth.
My problem is now that I always want the three report footer sections that show the net sum, VAT and gross sum on one page. But the Keep together option can only be applied for the entire report footer. if that option is set, due to lots of other text following the sums, it all is shown on the following page, although on the first page there would be enough space to print the sections displaying the sums...
Hope I made myself somewhat clear. Does anyhone have a suggestion on how to handle this?
Thanks in advance.

Merge the 3 report footers into one section and set it to keep together.
