Repeate Subforms In Master Pages

Hi All,
Am unable to see repeated sun forms when master pages are repeating based on body pages.
Let me explain my scenario
I have one master page and one body page, master page i have one repeated sub form contains list of doctors
In body page am displaying ordered services which also using repeated sub forms when the data exceeds to first page it is automatically overflows to second page in this scenario repeated sub forms of master page doctors list is not displaying in exceeded second page, but it is displaying in first page.
Can any one give solution for this scenario.

Hi Mallesh Reddy,
In Adobe forms, what ever you keep in the Master Page will be repeated for the next consecutive pages.
In other words Master Page is like a letter head which contains elements in common for all the consecutive pages to print. The positions and the layout will remain same for the Master page unless altered dynamically.
Body Page is nothing but the content. Which will be printed in the Context Area of the Main Page.
Contents in the Body page will be printed only once.
Solution:
Please place the elements which has to be repeated for all the pages in the Master page.
If further help needed, Please post the lay out for us.
Reward if useful.
Cheers,
Sivanand Ala

Repeating Table in Master Pages

Hi =)
I'm having some trouble with a dynamic xml form I'm creating.
Inside a page I have a repeating table that allows the user to insert a new row (max 4 rows).
All I want is this page to adjust nicely to the size of the repeating table.
Since I've read that it is not possible to change master page size through javaScript, I've created a page set with different sized master pages that adjust to the different number of rows.
I tried to set some conditional breaks to change from master page to master page accordingly to the table size. The thing is, whenever the user adds a row, the two master pages will appear. The first one blank and the next one with the table.
I think I only need a way to make the previous master page disappear.
Can someone give me some advise?
I need help.
Thank you =)

Hi =)
I'm trying something different: I want to make the blank pages disappear by changing the position of the Pages in the Page Set.
Suppose the table only has 2 rows.
The script on the click event of the button "add row" is the following:
     //Adds an instance to the row
     form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
     //Counts the number of instances
     var n = form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
     //If number of instances = 2 then the Pages position is changed
     if (n == 2){
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest";
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
I also have a conditional break in the Table1 like this:
     "When"
          form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count == 2
     "Break"
          before
     "to"
          Page2
This forces the entire table to change to the Page2 once it has 2rows.
The only thing that ruins this brilliant idea (cof cof =P) is...well, are this commands:
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest"
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
They don't work! Why? Does anyone know?
Thanks =)

Adobe LiveCycle Access Field in Subform inside Master Page

Hello,
I have a Dynamic PDF document created in LiveCycle 8.2 with the following structure
topmostSubform
          (Master Pages)
                  Page1
                        sfHeader
                               txtName
When I try to assign the value, using C# language, to the txtName I'm getting a null exception.
It looks that my code can't recognize the hierarchy structure.
I tried the following options and none of them worked
topmostSubform[0].#pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
Any advise will be truly appreciated!
Thank you.

I'm using Dynamic PDF Merger by ceTe Software.
Unfortunately this product is not good to work with dynamic pdf forms.
I also tried to use iTextSharp. So far no luck.
I would truly appreciate if you can give me any other suggestions.
I also wonder if there is an option to have a dynamic pdf files it should be the way to map data to the fields on this form?
Thank a lot for your help!

Repeating subform on each page in Adobe Forms

Hello all,
I created an Adobe Form, where the body is splitted in subforms (all flowed).
But now, I want that the first subform must be showed on each page on the Adobe Form. A masterpage cannot be used, because soms field have no data and are not showed on the PDF.
Does anyone know how the first subform of the body can repeat on each page?
Kind regards,
Pieter

Florian,
I already tried in Javascript for initialize and from.ready methods..
Now, I tested in Formcalc but the output is the same.
Page 1:
On the next pages:
So, on all the next pages a white space still appears..
Kind regards,
Pieter

Repeating subforms issue

I am trying to add a repeating subform, but the page ends right after the first instance. So, when I preview and add another instance of the subform, most of the content is not getting displayed. Can anyone please help? I pasted this subform on a new page and it did, indeed, add new subforms. However, when the page ends, so does the ability to have more instances of the subform.
A second issue is that the button to subtract added subforms does not show up when I add a new subform from the preview. I have checked the code. I used the buttons from the PurchaseOrder.xdp sample. Thanks for any hints!
Suzanne

Thanks, Stephen!
I do have my subform wrapped in a flowed parent subform and have the allow pagebreaks box checked. It just isn't working.
I don't know how to fix that code. For the add button (which works), I have the following:
form1.ConnectorInfo.FlowedSF.PropOptionsSF.Button2::click - (JavaScript, client)
// Get the instance manager.
var oManager = this.resolveNode("PropOptionsSF").instanceManager;
// Invoke the Instance Manager to add one instance of the detail subform.
var oNewInstance = oManager.addInstance(1);
// Invoke the Instance Manager to insert the subform below the current one.
var nIndexFrom = oNewInstance.index;
var nIndexTo = this.parent.index + 1;
oManager.moveInstance(nIndexFrom, nIndexTo);
For the subtract button, which never appears, I have the following:
form1.ConnectorInfo.FlowedSF.PropOptionsSF.Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
// Get the instance manager.
var oManager = this.resolveNode("PropOptionsSF").instanceManager;
// Invoke the Instance Manager to remove the current instance of the detail subform.
this.resolveNode("PropOptionsSF").instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
See any obvious problems here?
Thanks again!
Suzanne

Repeating Subform to Generate Text Field

I hope I can explain this clearly. I have a repeating subform form on page 1 that ask for child's name. Later in the form I need to ask other questions regarding the children. What I would like to happen is for each child listed on page 1, it would populate the Child's name in the child's information subform on page 3.
Thanks you for any assistance.

For each field you want to have the same value, go to the binding tab and under data binding (open, save, submit), set both fields to an same value (it can be anything). Alternatively, you can use global data binding, and change the name of both fields to the same thing.

Master page fields are reset on removal of subform in the document

Hi,
I've got another problem here: In a form I've got a repeatable subform, each intance containing a "remove current instance"-Button and a "add instance"-Button below all the subform instances. This works fine, but every time I delete a subform instance, all the fiels from my master page are reset. That sucks. Any reason why this happens, any workarounds (except putting that stuff into the normal page)?
Other problem: How do i do a calculation for every subform instance *after* one of the subform instances is removed? Adding a script call to the Action removing the subform instance *after* the removal action doesn't work, it is never executed.
Regards,
Jost

A workaround to the first problem: Make the data binding of the fields in the master page global.

Repeat subform until the end of the page

Hi there,
I'm relatively new to Livecycle and scripting, and I have a question that can hopefully be answered. I have a form in which the content is set to flowed and includes expandable fields. The last printable object in my form is a repeatable subform called ChainOfCustody. It's presence is set to hidden until the user clicks Print. It then becomes visible on the prePrint event. I'd like to have ChainOfCustody repeat as many times as it takes to fill the page it's on regardless of whether it appears 1 time or 10 times. I thought I could use addInstance inside a While loop and test when it's no longer on the current page, but that didn't work. I'm running out of ideas at this point, so any help is appreciated. (Below is my form's hierarchy, if that helps.)

You can achieve this by using master pages and pagination.
The implementation will be determined by your form requirements. The simple example attached is an example with two body pages:
- sPageBody
- sPageLast
Regardless of how many pages the sPageBody flows over (by clicking the 'Add Section' button) and whether the sHideShow subform is hidden or visible, the sLastPageFooter always displays at the end of the last page.

Need help with repeating Subforms on the next page

I have created two different flowable repeating subforms, for example - subform1 and subform2 in a document with an action button for each to add another subform on the next page. After subform2, I have two buttons - one to add subform1 again or add subform2 on the next page. When I click the button, Livecycle adds the new subform as commanded but the subform is added directly after the previous same subform not on the next page as requested. I have tried to change the pagination settings but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me define how to get the repeating subform to add to the next page and not after the same subform?

OK, so here's what I would do.
1. Wrap your subform1 and subform2 in a subform. I'll call it sfMaster.
2. Change your minimum instance for subform1 and 2 to 0 or uncheck the box, and set the initial count to 1. (That way you get at least one of each when we start.)
3. have the buttons create a new instance of sfMaster, then remove the instance of the subform you didn't want within that most recent instance.
So, what the user sees is a new subform1 or 2 each time they hit a button. And they'll appear in whatever order they choose it. The user doesn't have to know that what is actually happening is the creation of a new "master" subform that holds both subform1 and 2.
To help illustrate what I mean, I've added a pink border around sfMaster and colored subform1 and 2.
Binding options for Subform2 (Subform1 would be similar)
What it looks like in action
If you want to guarantee it appears on the next page, you'll need to add the conditional break from earlier. Keep working with it to get the settings just right. You may even want a docReady() event that creates two sfMaster's and sets one to have Subform1 and the other to have Subform2.

Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

Master Page: Alternatives (Subform Set) works only for the first page

Hi everybody!
I have bumped into a very weird problem with ADOBE Forms:
When I create an 'Alternative' in a Context area and then place it on a Master Page, it works only for the first page. On the rest of pages it always show the 'TRUE' subform, regardless of the condition (which is not changed, of course). Absolutely the same Alternative works perfectly in a Content area for all pages.
Has anybody seen something like this? Any ideas why?
Thank you!

This happens because of the processing of the form.
You can see this here:
LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
You have to put a own variable, which is set with the value you want in the very beginning.
I know, it is not that logical in the first moment, but it makes sense.
Regards
Florian
PS: This space SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is the correct for questions like that

How can you get get two master pages to repeat in a document with one of them having numbering.

How can you get two master pages in Indesign to repeat when one of them has a numbering section and the back side is a common back. For example, Master A has numbering 001-500 and Master B is the common back for all 500 pages.

My guess is you either want to use a numbered list for the numbering, rather than a page number marker, or you want to make two files and print a single page file with the static text 500 times, then flip the stack and print the 500 page file.
What are you trying to do?

Delete the blank page with repeating subforms

hi all!
I have a form for declarations.
Every declaration has to be set on a new page.
I solved this with a repeating subform.
And in the properties of the repeating subform the variable 'After' has 'Go To Next Page'.
This works well with only one disadvantage. In the end an empty page is also be created.
I would like to get rid of this empty page.
But how can this be done?
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Hi Kyle!
Thank you very much! This one does the trick. Thats a relief!
I am also very curious what does the Conditional break do?
I think:
this.instanceManager.count is the pagenumber where the repeating subform is printed on
this.instanceIndex = the index of the table which is used as binding for the subform
And did i understand it correctly that:
- The code is called after the subform is created.
- And when the condition is not correct the logic for the page is finished or only the logic of the (repeating) subform?
kind regards,
Anton

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.

Line item data does not appear on all master pages - Adobe forms

Hi Guys,
I have a problem in Adobe forms as explained below-
I have a page in the form which has, you can say, a 2 windows or subforms ( Information window/subfirm on top right corner, main on middle of the page ). The data of the main subform is a line item data of delivery. Some parts of the same data need to be printed on the Information subform also. The main subform can overflow to next pages but the information window will have only very limited data to be printed on one page itself, meaning it does not overflow.
Now the requirement is that each line item should be printed on a new page. For example if there are 2 lines items then first line item should be printed on first page. Then there will be a conditional page break and the next line item will be printed on the next page ( I have achieved this using condition page break). The information window will contain information related to corresponding line items. If the first line item data overflows in main then information window of first line item should be printed on first and 2nd page. The second line item should start printing on 3rd page and information window of 3rd page will contain data of 2nd line item.
I created 1 body page and 1 master page. I created one internal table with data of main window and information window. I put the information window on master page to make it appear on all the pages.
This solution unfortunately does not work. The issue is that in case of overflow, 1st page information window shows first line item. 2nd pages shows 2nd line item and 3rd page is blank whereas ideally 1st and 2nd page information window should show first line item and 3rd page should show 2nd line item. This means that master page and body page are not getting linked. If I create the information window on body page itself, it does not repeat on all the pages. Please provide some inputs to resolve the issue.
Thanks
Abhi

Hi Abhinav,
I am also trying to solve the similar issue. Need to print the internal table data in the Master page.
Have you resolved this issue. Can you Please share your solution .
Thanks
Swarna.
