Problem with tables spanning multiple pages

I have used Pages early on before Numbers to track my small business expenses vs income. I use tables to manage this by clicking outside the page so it can be unrestricted by text fields but it creates a problem.
Problem: free floating tables when rows continue past the footer, don't auto format onto another page.
Needed solution: How do I format the table so it automatically formats the total bar onto the next page without changing my existing layouts?

Problem with adobe forms multiple pages

Hi
can someone help me how to get multiple pages in adobe forms in case the item lines exceeds the page capacity?
Thanks

It should not be much of a problem. Here is a detailed solution to your problem:
In your context , create a node MasterNode of cardinality 1...1 and singleton set to true. Bind this to the dataSource property of the InteractiveFormElement.
Inside this MasterNode create a node Data of cardinality 0...n and singleton set to false. Keep all of your payslip attributes inside this node.
In your interactive form element , in the Body Page create a subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Table .Check the chechbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Inside this subform create another subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Western Text . Uncheck the checkbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Put all of your pay slip UI elements inside this subform and bind them with the attributes under the node Data. Also tick the property of the inner subform under the section Object->Subform that says Repeat Subform for each Data Item
In your view controller coding area , create an element of the node Data for each employee record and populate it with values for the particular employee .
Add all of the elements that you created into an ArrayList and bind this ArrayList to the node Data. Now your form is ready for n number of employees.
Put this sort of coding in your view controller coding:
IDataElement objData = null;
ArrayList arlData = null;
int intNumberOfEmployees=0;
try
        arlData = new ArrayList();
        intNumberOfEmployees = //Get size of your model node that returns employee info
        if(intNumberOfEmployees>0)
                for(int i=0;i<intNumberOfEmployees;i++)
                        objData = wdContext.createDataElement();
                        objData.setName("//Value fetched from backend here");//Eg:wdContext.nodeEmployeeInfo.getEmployeeInfoElementAt(i).getname()
                        //Similarly set all of the values
                        arlData.add(objData);
        wdContext.nodeData.bind(arlData);
Hope this helps you...

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,

How can I make a table span multiple pages?

Hi guys,
I really hope someone can help me out. First off I am a indesign novice. I have primarily been using indesign scripting to take other user's indesign documents and generating dynamic previews and PDFS with indesign server 2014 (it's pretty cool stuff).
Someone gave me an indesign document that has a table that starts off in the middle of the page and depending on how many rows they want the table to be it should bump the overflow'ed table rows to the 2nd page.
In indesign I have tried to link the text frames together. It looks ok in indesign as the linked content shows up on page two.
Whenever I run the script to generate the preview JPEG the table on page 1 gets cut off and doesn't render anything on page 2.
Using a script I was able to examine all the textframes on the page and none of the text frames have their "overflows" property set to true.
What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure there are a million things I'm missing but what are some of the basic things I can look for. I'm totally lost here guys.
Thanks,
Dustin

I'm not familiar with the script you are talking about, but if you want to make Jpegs of your pages, the best route is to export the document as PDF, and then open in Photoshop, where you can save as Jpeg. If creating Jpegs was not your goal, can you explain further?

Span columns problem with Table of Contents order

Hello,
I'm having a strange issue with headings that span columns and Table of contents order. My document has a heading paragraph in a coloured box, which is then inserted in-line into a 2-column text box. The paragraph style for the box (set to in-line) is set to span all columns, so that the 2-columned text doesn't get messed up.
When I create a table of contents, the Heading style that is inside the coloured box is being picked up fine, but even though it is inserted before the headings below it, it is showing up after the level 2 headings, instead of before.
I have confirmed that the insertion of the blue bar is before the text below it, as when I remove the span columns option, the TOC works as it is supposed to. Is this a bug?

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
The only way I could move the inline box to the left was to make a custom anchor and change the X value, this did not affect the TOC unfortunately. I also checked the location of the invisible marker indicating the location of the inline text box, and it is definitely before the heading that follows. I confirmed this by removing the span columns option for that paragraph, and the TOC displayed properly after doing that, meaning there is likely some problem with the span columns option not properly recognizing the order of content.

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.

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
Helmut

Hello 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>

Empty pages being generated when report spans multiple pages

hi folks
I have a problem when generating my pdf form that I hope you can shed some light on.
Firstly, I have a table within a table.
Eg. For each line of Table_1, a new page must be displayed.
Then for Table_2 a list of employees with the matching criteria in line_1 of Table_1 are displayed on page 1. For the next line of Table_1, the same, and so on.
My problem comes in when there are too many employees in Table_2 to fit on a single page, they span onto the next page (as they should), but the pdf form also now displays blank pages at random.
Something like this:
Page 1
--empty
Page 2
-Table_1-Line_1
-Table_2 (lines 1 - 30 of 35)
Page 3
-Table_1-Line_1
-Table_2 (lines 31-35 of 35)
Page 4
-Table_1-line_2
-Table_2 (lines 1 - 10 of 10)
Page 5
--empty
Why the empty pages? Any help will be much appreciated.
thanks.
Also worth noting. If Table_2 doesn't span multiple pages, then I don't get the empty pages.
thanks in advance
Anton Kruse

Hello,
it is clear why your first page is blank. That is because you set "top of next page" (tab binding) for every line of the outer table so every "section" starts on the new page. That is why even the first page starts on the second page (top of NEXT page for the first line is SECOND page).
About the last page... I have experienced problems when I used margins - when your page content is long, but not that long to break the page and you use a margin so the last row + margin should break the page, the last row is left on the last-1 page and the margin "appears" on the last page.
Hope this helps a bit, Otto

Problem with table formatting

I'm having a lot of problems with tables not reflecting their formatting when I open them in a browser. I've tried opening in Safari, Firefox & Camino with the same results. For example, a row with the following html content has a much larger height & aligns the text to the top when opened in a browser:
<tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
If it matters, this is a row in a table nested in another table. Here's the code down to the row in question (all tags are closed properly in the remaining code):
<table width="600" border="2" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/events.jpg" width="250" height="35"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td align="left" valign="top">
      <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
        <tr>
          <td height="15" colspan="3" valign="middle"><h6 align="center">Summer 2009</h6>
          </td>
        </tr>
I am using a style sheet for text. Here's the code for "h6" if that matters:
h6 {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #660099;
Any ideas is appreciated. This is driving me nuts. Spacing and alignment sometimes work and sometimes don't work. Dreamweaver is supposed to make such things easier!
Kevin

Header tags are usually used round a bit of text, not parts of a table, and if you don't specify the margins on them, can force different amounts of space below in different browsers. Try making the bottom margin on h6 zero, and confine it to text within a cell.
Also, if you can upload your page somewhere and let us have the url it will be easier to troubleshoot.

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 thanks

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

How can I copy text spanning multiple pages in iBook?

I like to drop sections of text from i
books into letters, journal entries etc and for the life of me I cannot figure out the functionality of grabbing text that spans multiple pages.

Hi James,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. You actually solved the problem. I am able to select as much text as I want now. The bummer is the lame feature where you cannot take more than a couple hundred words at a time. The section I wanted was about one and a half pages and it took me 3 separate copy pastes to get it all. Does anyone know of software or a trick to overcome this limitation?
James thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

Problem with table paging [PDK for NET]

Hi All,
I have a problem with table paging in PDK for .NET (ver 2).
The Table has 14 visible rows.
The lead selection is set to "SINGLE"
When the user selects a row I can use
Table1.SelectedKeys(0) Mod Table1.VisibleRowCount
in order to get the info of the selected row.
If I will page using the "Prev/Next" page of the Table UI element it will also work.
However, when I press "Prev/Next" item and then select a row it chooses the wrong row.
(See picture: http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/3882/table5tq.jpg)
What can I do in order to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Omri

Hi Omri,
how are you doing ?
The SAPTable is similar to a DataGrid control and need to be bound to the datasource on every postback
a good idea is to keep the dataset available in the page or on the server ( so that you dont need to keep making expensive fetch operations
The selected row is affected by the recordset (dataset) and needs additional programming
A work around for the selected row issue is to save it in a server side hidden variable (or anything that will persist) and read and set the value in the page / next button handler
with respect,
amit

Problem with tables -- need help!

I am having problems with table formatting, when using
Preformatted text. The tables look fine in the WYSIWYG editor, but
have lots of extra space above and below the text when looking at
the output files.
I will attach the code from one of the HTML files from my
project, so you can see what I'm talking about.
Thanks.

Well, if you're talking about the single-celled table with
the line:
<p class=Preformatted>[assembly:
Ace.AceAssembly]</p>
</pre>
... you can eliminate the <P> tags. that will give you
one line less. Otherwise, your remaining space is the result of the
<PRE> tag. It, like the <XMP> tag, gives it one line of
space beneath as well.
Your alternative beyond that would be to, when needed, wrap
up the script in Javascript. That line, for instance, wouldn't need
it.
