Requisition line description (lengthy) span multiple pages

All,
I have a requirement to print a Requisition that has multiple lines and multiple rolled up distributions (for the first six segments) in a fixed area of the template. Each line item description appended with an attachment text must print in a confined area. Further, the bottom part contains some fixed text and a table printing rolled up distributions. The distributions could run into multiple pages as the space to print in the confined area is just 4 lines. An average scenario is a requisition with three lines (each line's item description is about 2500 characters) and maybe eight distributions.
Data relationship in the layout: One master (Requisition Header) and two details (one for lines and the other for distributions).
Layout (Font for the most part is Arial size 7)
Requisition Header information prints some fixed text and some dynamic text spanning 15 physical lines. The dynamic text in this section of the layout from header contains limited text that will fit in the layout.
Requisition Lines information prints line details in a confined area spanning 24 physical lines.
Part of the requisition header information print in a confined area spanning 25 physical lines.
Requisition Distribution information prints in a confined area spanning 4 physical lines.
At the bottom, three more physical lines of text from Requisition header information are expected.
I have been trying to use RTF template and I have not been able to achieve the above requirement. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this will be of any help or not but let me explain what I did to a form to get the text in some of the fields to continue on to the next page.
On my first page I have a sub form I call MainPage and within that sub form I have several sub forms that each contain a title bar and some descriptive text and an expandable text field. The specs for the MainPage sub form is as follows,
Object tab > Subform tab > Type: = Flow Content.
Object tab > Subform tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content is checked.
Object tab > Subform tab > After: = Continue Filling Parent.
Object tab > Binding tab > Repeat Subform for Each Data Item is checked and Min Count is set to 1.
Layout tab > Auto-fit for the Height is checked.
The specs for one of the subforms inside the MainPage sub form are,
Object tab > Subform tab > Type: = Position Content.
Object tab > Subform tab > Allow Page Breaks within Content is checked.
Object tab > Subform tab > After: = Continue Filling Parent.
Object tab > Binding tab > Repeat Subform for Each Data Item is checked and Min Count is set to 1.
Layout tab > Auto-fit for the Height is checked.
The specs for the expandable text field are,
Object tab > Field tab > Allow Multiple Lines and Allow Plain Text Only check boxes are both checked.
Layout tab > Expand to fit check box for the Height is checked only.
This set up works for me and I get a text field that continues onto the next page but I have noticed some strange things going on that make it work rather awkward. The scroll bars are odd and some times after adding a bunch of text and then I move out of the field a text overflow symbol shows up at the bottom of the continued field on the next page. When you come back and click on the field to add more text the scroll bar appears and you need to scroll to the end of the value that is allready in the field to continue typeing.

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

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

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.

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.

Capturing data from a dynamic table that span multiple pages

I created a PDF form that contained a dynamic table that can span across multiple pages. Additional rows in the table can be created by the person filling the form as and when needed.
The PDF form is distributed to the receipient using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
However, when the form is "Submitted" back to the originator of the form, only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file. All the other rows are left out.
I would be grateful if anyone can advise me as to how do I or what shall I do to get all the data in all the rows in the table into the Response File?
Thank you.

Hi
Attached are the saved completed PDF-Form and the response file after the completed form has been submitted. I have copied this message to your gMail account.
Only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file.
If it is working correctly on your side, please let me know what could have gone wrong on my side.
Thank you.

Checkbox in Tabular Form (Solution to span multiple pages)

Hi,
We had a case where a large report needed to have check boxes. These check boxes would populate a list of id's which we then processed for a specific task. By default APEX doesn't support this.
After spending some time on this, I thought I'd post my solution to help any others who experience the same problems. For this example we will use P10
1. Create a new "normal" report.
SELECT e.*, APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,e.EMPNO,'onClick="updateList(this);"',:P10_LIST, ',') AS Cancel,
FROM emp e
2. Create a hidden item called P10_LIST
3. Add an HTML region to the page whose template is "No Template" (do this so it doesn't show up. Call the region "JavaScript". Set its sequence to 1
4. Add the following in the JavaScript region:
<script src="http://SERVER_NAME/String.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://SERVER_NAME/Ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateList(pObject){
vItem = 'P10_LIST';
myAjax = new Ajax();
vList = myAjax.getItemValue(vItem);
//Determine to remove or add from list
if (pObject.checked) {
//Add item
vList = vList.listAppend(pObject.value);
else{
//Remove from list
vList = vList.listRemoveItem(pObject.value);
}//if
//Set the session value
myAjax.setItemValue(vItem,vList);
//Set the HTML value
document.getElementById(vItem).value = vList;
</script>
This script:
- Loads the List from the session
- Modifies the list
- Stores it in the session
5. The JavaScript region references 2 files, which you'll need to add to your server. They are as follows:
Ajax.js
function Ajax(){
// TODO: Enter proper names etc.
this.appProcessNameNull = 'AJAX_null';
this.appProcessNameReturnItem = 'AJAX_ReturnItem';
this.tempItem = 'P0_AJAX_TEMP';
* TODO: Document
* Sets Item in session
Ajax.prototype.setItemValue = function(pItem,pValue,pAppProcess){
if (pAppProcess == null)
pAppProcess = this.appProcessNameNull;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=' + pAppProcess,0);
get.add(pItem,pValue);
gReturn = get.get();
* TODO: Document
* @param pItem Name of item to get
* @param pTempItem Name of temp item
* @param pAppProcess Application Process to call which will return item
* @return session value
Ajax.prototype.getItemValue = function(pItem,pTempItem,pAppProcess){
if (pTempItem == null)
pTempItem = this.tempItem;
if (pAppProcess == null)
pAppProcess = this.appProcessNameReturnItem;
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=' + pAppProcess,0);
get.add(pTempItem,pItem);
gReturn = get.get();
return gReturn;
String.js
// From http://www.somacon.com/p355.php
String.prototype.trim = function() {
     return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
// From http://www.somacon.com/p355.php
String.prototype.ltrim = function() {
     return this.replace(/^\s+/,"");
// From http://www.somacon.com/p355.php
String.prototype.rtrim = function() {
     return this.replace(/\s+$/,"");
* Appends value to list
* @param pValue Value to add to list
* @param pDelimeter Defaults to comman
String.prototype.listAppend = function(pValue, pDelimeter){
if (pDelimeter == null)
pDelimeter = ',';
vStr = this;
if (vStr.length == 0)
vStr = pValue;
else
vStr = vStr + pDelimeter + pValue;
return vStr;
* Removes a value from list
* @param pValue Value to remove from list
* @param pDelimeter Defaults to comman
String.prototype.listRemoveItem = function(pValue, pDelimeter){
if (pDelimeter == null)
pDelimeter = ',';
vStr = this;
vStr = pDelimeter + vStr + pDelimeter;
// Remove value
vStr = vStr.replace(pDelimeter + pValue + pDelimeter, pDelimeter);
//Remove prefix and suffix items
if (vStr.length > 0 & vStr.charAt(0) == pDelimeter){
vStr = vStr.substring(1);
if (vStr.length > 0 & vStr.charAt(vStr.length-1) == pDelimeter){
vStr = vStr.substring(0,vStr.length - 1);
return vStr;
6. On Page 0 Create a hidden Item called: P0_AJAX_TEMP
(Note: this is can be used for all your AJAX calls)
7. Create an Application Process called: "AJAX_null". Process Text: null;
8. Create an Application Process called: "AJAX_ReturnItem". Process Text:
begin
htp.prn(v(v('P0_AJAX_TEMP')));
end;
If you look at the Ajax.js you'll notice points 6,7, and 8 are all customizable etc... I just put it in so you can test right away.
Now the user can select items on multiple pages (if pagination applies). Once they hit a submit button you can use P10_LIST to process your values.
Hope this helps.
Martin

Hi Martin,
I was trying to use your funda in my App. But i dont know why it is not doing anything.
Also i'm facing a very small but severe problem with one of my report. I am using checkbox. So that user will be able to select all those records he/she wants. but the problem is that when i'm selecting few records with the help of the check boxes, selections are there. When moving to other page and coming back to that page, selections are gone. I think selections should not go like this. Otherwise the user will get confused.
Can you tell me how can retain the check box selections??
Thanks

How to paginate the Report output spanning multiple pages

Hello,
We have a Report that has a custom Layout and it shows invoice information.
Our system has to generate an Invoice per day.
This Report is printed fine for single day.
But our users have 2 requests:
1. To print all the invoices for 1 month
2. To save them to file.
At least printing will do for now.
The problem I got is pagination.
When I made Month&Year as parameter and user selects 2001-OCT
to print all invoices in Oct,2001, the Report is unable to print one invoice per page. In between the layout is rolling over to multiple pages.
Is there a way I can control pagination or any settings?
Thank you much.
Madhav

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

DustinMichaels1982 wrote:

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?

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?

Print multiple page report

How do you print a report that spans multiple pages? I couldn't find anything in the user's manual, other than making a page 'printer friendly'. The only thing I can think of is to temporarily change the rows per page to a huge number. But that seems pretty hokey.
Terry

That is about all you can do. A web application, a thin-client only knows about what it sees in the current page view.
Some alternatives you could evaluate to print the entire report are
a. FOP (export to PDF); search the forum for more information
b. export to CSV and then print from Excel
c. change rows/page to a large number (as you point out) and then use the browser's File/Print feature
d. use a commercial product like http://www.plpdf.com

IPAD3 - Pages: A document I've imported to Pages, has a table. Information in this table doesn't wrap over multiple pages, as it does in Word

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.

Charts across multiple pages

Hi all,
with Crystal Reports 2008 is it possible for a chart to span multiple pages? We have a bar chart that will have many columns and we would want it to span 2 or more pages. How would you set the chart up to tell it to span multiple pages?
Any help\suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
JohnN

Hi,
Thanks, I have now been able to get the reports to span multiple pages. On the x-axis I have results for each process in a system i.e. the column names are process1, process2 etc. but there seems to be a maximum number of column names appearing on the x-axis (in my case it seems to be 26). It skips every second column name and the column name is not written out. Is there a maximun number of column labels that can be displayed by Crystal Reports 2008 for a chart (I am using a bar chart)?
Thanks

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

Multiple Page Report (Invoice)

Good Morning,
I work for a healthcare orginzation and I am creating an invoice for services. The invoice has many lines and runs onto multiple pages. I am farily new to Crystal but I want to know if there is a way to have the Report Header and Footers print on a new page after so many lines of data are acheived.
I used the following forumula in both the detail sections and report header and report footer sections under Paging, New Page After, but the report header and footer do not appear on the consective pages.
If Remainder (RecordNumber, 15) = 0 then true else false
Is there another way to accomplish this?

Thanks! What I ended up doing is having to create groups since I needed information broken down by different payers. Same concept with group headers and footers. I appreciate the response.
