Page Breaks being ignored?

Hi all,
First of all, I'm new here so hopefully this is an easy one to fix.
My second form (a multi-page feedback form) seems to be ignoring page breaks.
It's quite lengthy (7 pages) in the designer, but when I test it, or embed the code, it's only taking notice of the first page break - the form is split into 2 pages, whereas it should be split into 7.
Can anyone offer advice as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Greig

Hi Greig,
You added all but one of the page break items in the context of the Page view, which means that they are used used only when creating a PDF fillable form. If you switch back to the Web view, using the View > Web View menu item, you'll see that only a single page break item is visible, which explains your 2-page HTML form. You'll need to create additional page break elements in the context of the Web view. If you don't plan on distributing a PDF form, you can delete the page break items from the Page view.
Regards,
Brian

PDF Export with fixed column widths ignores page break on Analysis item

Hi experts,
we use the column width modification to define fixed column width in a analysis item. On the same Web template we want to export the whole template including the analysis item to PDF format. First of all everything worked properly, but the fixed widths have not been applied to the PDF. According to [SAP Support Note 1336188|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1336188] and additional explainations from [SDN Thread 1558536|Column Width Modification not working in Print Version; we solved the problem.
Unfortunately another problem arises. Our Analysis item delivers a big number of rows which extent multiple pages. By applying the export fix width parameter all page breaks are ignored, meaning that the analysis item is never shown completely in the PDF. We tried all parameter options of the Export Function without success. It seems that the EXPORT_FIX_WIDTH is just working for analysis items, which fit on one single page by length.
Any ideas how to solve this?
FYI, our XHTML code (Version SAP BW 7.0 SP 19):
<bi:ANALYSIS_ITEM name="ANALYSIS_ITEM_1">
<bi:DATA_PROVIDER_REF value="DP_1" />

Acrobat PDFmaker is ignoring hard page breaks in Word docx

I'm working with a client's Word docx file which is formatted almost entirely with tables and uses hard page breaks throughout. When the document is exported to a PDF using Acrobat PDFMaker, some of the hard page breaks are rendered but some of them are completely ignored. In those cases, section breaks, extra spaces and anything else is ignored, too. It simply runs the table and/or text together as if there was nothing between them. I'm totally baffled. I turned off all widow/orphan control and keep options.

Glad you found a solution. I am not quite sure what you did or why what was suggested did not work. If you can ever post a document or part of such that demonstrates the problem and the inability of Acrobat to resolve it, I would be interested (a learning process!).
In terms of WORD, I have seen many forms that folks create in WORD and have similar problems. In many cases they like to use as much of the page as possible. When I try to print the form on my printer, or even view it, it is generally messed up. This WORD form aspect is similar to the book issue you have mentioned. It is characteristic of the reflow of word processors based on the printer metrics.
You might find this link (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/preserve-original-appearance-for-viewing-or-pr inting-HP005189614.aspx) helpful in maintaining the layout. In OFFICE 2007 use of printer metrics was turned off by default in the Options>Advanced>Compatibility. I believe they turned it back in with later updates and versions. The article also mentions the issues with various fonts and the need to embed fonts. Unfortunately, the newer versions of WORD do not embed the fonts of vector graphics.

How can I remove Page Break Views?

This is driving me nuts -- I'm just trying to write basic text, and yet, for some reason, Pages forces me to view a page as if it's a real piece of paper. As I'm writing, and come to the end of the page, there's two inches of white space from the end of the last sentence on the page to the start of the first sentence on the next page.
I find this distracting . . . I'm trying to type a sentence and I don't need to have a massive visual break interrupting the flow of writing. I can't find any way to turn off this view. Not that I want to, but why can't I type one continuous paragraph that could span multiple pages -- without being limited to the freakin' "page" metaphor of viewing?
I'm so frustrated with this that I think I'm going to have to go back to using MS Word. I'm trying hard to learn Pages, but when I have to knuckle down and write, I'm constantly getting interrupted by the page breaks. While I might be able to train myself to ignore the page break, each time I get to the bottom of a page, I effectively lose two inches of vertical space, which means I can't see as much text above and below what I've just written. It's maddening!
Does anyone have any solutions? Or is this just an astounding oversight on the part of Apple development?
I can manually reduce the margins, but I still get the big gray line separating pages at least a vertical inch of separation, plus, if I send the document to anyone else who might want to print it, I have to remember to change the margins back.
Right now, I'm leaving Pages and finishing my project in MS Word. Please help me come back to Pages! . . . .

My old friend AppleWorks work with separated pages since 1991 and it seems that it is OK for its users.
Pages is a component of the AppleWorks successor so it seems logical that its designers made the same choice.

Adobe Forms - Page Break via a Conditional Break

Having read through the forum I am getting the impression that Page Breaks is a bit of a problem.
I can enforce a page break between datasets by setting "After:" to "Goto Next Page", on the Object->Pagination tab, however this results in a blank page at the end of the entire output which is just the Master Page with all the static elements.
The 'Conditional Breaks' sounds like the logical point to force a page break based on a combination of inequality or if a particular data element equals a known value.
However, I don't seem to be able to get the 'Conditional Break' to work.
So, the question I would like to ask, is how can you tell if the conditional break logic is correct and whether or not it is running? For example on an ABAP system is it possible to run it and debug it?
My attempts at getting the break to open a pop up or write to disk via JavaScript fails, which is leading me to think they are being ignored by the Adobe Form at both the server and client level.
Is it possible that I have missed another setting somewhere else in the Adobe form configuration?

Hello Jason!
You are right that conditions (and all scripting) are bit tricky in this solution. Still they work.
Debugging of AIF at ABAP side is not possible due to the architecture of the solution - from the ABAP POV it is just a web-service call and receiving result (PDF) back. You can't stop it on midpoint or intercept it somehow.
At the same time there are other ways to check it.
First, you can enable trace and saving additional info in SFP transaction under Utilities -> Settings.
Details see [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f7/a04aee0cb94978a011401311efe603/frameset.htm]
And the nice way to check if your condition block is taken into the account is simple check like 1 = 2.
If this works and you receive page break than all you need is find errors in your condition syntax, otherwise the problem is somewhere else.

Petr Perstnev

Page breaks in (html) printed apex report

I am having a strange problem that appears to be related to APEX page template.
I have a report that is html generated by a PL/SQL function. I need to have page breaks in the printed report at specific locations. I am adding this style to the html output of the function:
<STYLE>
DIV.pageBreak { page-break-before: always; }
</STYLE>
and I insert this at the locations I need breaks:
< D I V CLASS="pageBreak"/>
(without the spaces in DIV)
(found this technique here: http://www.unagibay.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=100&itemid=1821 )
This works perfect when I run the report in IE, but FireFox is "ignoring" the page breaks. However, if I take just the output of the PL/SQL function in an html doc, FireFox works fine (breaks at the proper places). This makes me believe something related to the "page wrapper" content generated by APEX causes FireFox to not handle the breaks.
I have tried copying and editing the Popup and Printer Friendly page templates, but I either remove too much and the page doesn't render, or the page breaks don't work.
My questions for the APEX gurus are:
1. Is there an "approved" way to get page breaks in the printed version of an APEX report, or is there a better way to do what I need to do.
2. What is the minimum contents for a page template (what can I safely remove).
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Owen,
the page breaks are inserted before/after the section. Expand the report structure window and make sure that the properties window is open below. Once you click on the section part, you will see where you can insert the page breaks - the check boxes will appear in the properties.
yes on the second part - just insert the page break between the data providers and then repeat the header for the data provider on the pages (also check boxes on the properties tab)
Good luck

Page break in between group and subreport

I have created a report with one group based on the customer order number.   We want the user to be able to run a range of customers orders. For example, print 10 customer orders at one time. The group pulls the required information for each
customer order.   After each customer order, I have a sub-report that is a pallet pick sheet.   We want a page break after each group, so the sub-report prints on a separate page. It goes like this
customer order 137158 detail - 1st iteration of the group.
page break
sub-report pallet pick sheet for 137158 - starts on a new page.
page break
customer order 137159 detail starts on a new page. - 2nd iteration of the group.
page break
sub-report pallet pick sheet 137159 - starts a new page.
I would really appreciate if someone can help solve this issue. I've spent over half a day reading forums and trying different solutions, and every attempt at adding page breaks seems to be ignored.   I'm working with SSRS 2012.
Jeff

I had the company logo and a title outside of the data tablix.   When I moved these into the list table, the issue with the additional white space was resolved.   At this point, we have resolved the page break and the extra white space
on the report.   I have one more issue.
On the main report, I have two parameters for starting customer order number and ending customer order number.   I created the same parameters on the sub-report. When I run the report, I enter a range of 139818 to 139824.   The
main report which is the customer order information prints correctly.   However, instead of getting just the sub-report for the first order which is 139818, I get a sub report for every order in the range.   Then, the main report
prints order 139819, and then repeats the sub-report loop for every order.  So, each time the main report prints, I get 7 sub-reports.   How do I link the main report to the sub-report so there is a one to one match so only
one sub-report is generated per customer order?
I really appreciate the help,
Jeff

Matrix exporting to excel with empty columns, with page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.

I am working with Report Builder 3.0 I am using a matrix to produce grouped data on separate worksheets in excel.
The select is:
SELECT ID, Measurement, Value, [Date] FROM Measurements_Report. (please ignore the underscores they are just for formatting)
The contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33_____10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44_____10/2/2014
3___Cold_________55_____10/2/2014
The matrix contains a single row group based on the field "measurement". The Measurement group has the page break option of "Between each instance of a group" selected.
There is a column group based on the field "Date".
When this is matrix is exported to excel on the first worksheet (Hot) there are three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014____10/2/2014___10/2/1014
1___33
2_______________44
Notice the last column doesn't have a value.
On the second worksheet (Cold) there are also three columns as shown below:
ID__10/1/2014___10/2/2014___10/2/1014
3__________________________55
This time notice there is only one row and only a value in the last column.
I only want the columns with data for that worksheet to show up. How can I remove these empty/duplicate columns? Hopefully there is a simple fix. Thanks ahead of time.

With the following contents of the Measurements_Report table:
ID__Measurement__Value__[Date]
1___Hot_________33______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________43______10/1/2014
2___Hot_________44______10/2/2014
3___Cold________55______10/2/2014
Returns on the first tab (Hot):
ID__10/1/2014____10/1/2014____10/2/2014
1___33
2_________________43
2______________________________44
In the excel worksheet it contains a separate column for each date with a value. Thanks again!
Why is the same date repeating on multiple columns? Do you've the time part also returned from database?

Hi Rohit ,
I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
I copied same under Myprojects as well.
you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
try to run from Jdeveloper .
Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

Hey,
I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
Cheers
Tom.
the style I use to insert pagebreak is
<code>
.breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
code I then use to implement it is.
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
</code>

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering <br> to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.
<body>
test0
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test1
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test2
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test3
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test4
<p style="page-break-before: always">
</body>
The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Nope. Did the </br> thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Custom page breaks with "@media print" in CSS when creating a PDF from HTML?

Searching for threads containing the text string "@media print" gave me zero hits, so I guess I'm either the smartest guy in the entire universe for coming up with this idea or the dumbest for the same reason since I must be missing something that everyone else knows by heart without even asking.
Namely, I would like to make use of the CSS "@media print" wrapper when I'm converting an HTML file to PDF through Adobe Acrobat - as opposed to printing an HTML page through a web browser using the Adobe PDF virtual printer device. These are, as I understand it, two equivalent though not entirely identical (as they make use of and rely on somewhat different settings) procedures that both convert an HTML file into a PDF document.
Here's my CSS code:
@media print { span.pagebreak {page-break-before: always} }
And here's my HTML code invoking the page break:
<span class="pagebreak"></span>
Bottom line, this works great when I print the HTML file through my web browser, using the Adobe PDF printer device. However, when converting the HTML file through Adobe Acrobat, this print-related setting is ignored. Obviously, printing and converting a file isn't technically identical but as I said, it's for virtually all intents and purposes the same procedure.
I'm guessing that someone at the Adobe HQ must have thought through this issue during a brainstorming session and come up with a simple yet elegant solution to cater for the needs of those who want to use custom page breaks when converting their HTML documents directly through Adobe Acrobat. Maybe a simple setting somewhere or a custom CSS tag like "@media adobe", or something similar?

I've never heard of anyone succeeding in this.

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?

IF CONDITION DOES NOT WORK WHEN PAGE BREAK IS THERE

Hi,
In my page I have some text and then I have put if condition and then Page Break (Next) and then some text and closed the if condition. When I run this if condition is simply ignore and it displays the data within if condition I do not know how to avoid.
<?if: country = 'US'?>
<?call-template:templateUS?>
<?end if?>
<?if: country = 'UK'?>
<?call-template:templateUk?>
<?end if?>
<?template:templateUS?>
Testing Data if mkt = 'US' (Section Break (Next Page))
This should only come for US
<?end if?
<?template:templateUK?>
UK Should only come
<?end if?
When I run the above template if the country is UK then also This should only come for US gets printerd how can I avoid this.
Thanks

Hello,
Did you get this to work? Pls let me know. I am facing the same issue.
Thanks,
Krishna.
