Table Header Overlap on 2nd Page

Hi Experts,
In my adobe forms i need to display a table with header on each page and line items containing data to be displayed in 3 rows.
I have used Subforms as tables.
Now to display the table header in all pages, i have set Overflow leader property of Data table to Header.
Table header is displayed properly on the first pafe , However , on second page the table header texts are getting overlapped.
Am i missing a simple trick here?
Can you please help me identify?
Regards,
Ashish Shah

Solved it by making table header sub form Positioned. And created one sub form in Body table subform. Kept all the body contents in this subform and removed allow page breaks with in content for this new subform.
Header --> Positioned --> Page break allowed
|- Item --> Flowed --> Page break allowed
|- New Subform --> Flowed --> Page break not allowed.
Thanks.

Dynamic table header/footer on multiple pages stay original

hi experts,
i've got a form with a dynamic table. this means that i have a footerrow with mapped information if it should be visible or not. so the table can have from 1 to 40 columns.
i did some scripting in the table's initialize section:
loop over count of colums and set the headerrow, row1 and footerrow elements for index x to hidden.
everything works out fine BUT if the data spans over multiple pages the headerrow on pages 2 to last is original again. means that the hiding of cells is not effective any more. same with footerrow (but here its fine at last page and original at page 1 to last -1).
i tried to hide cells again in layout:ready section for the other instances of the headerrow.
cells got hidden, but the still visible cells didnt relocate to the left (if i hide it, there should be no space between staying cells).
can anyone please give me a hint what i am missing here?
does anyone have a simple sample for this task? its all about the header/footer for multiple pages!
thanks a lot!

When the footer goes to the 2nd page the page subform is incremented so you will have to reference the page subform as well. I suggest that you add a button (this is for a test only) to the footer subform and add the code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render the form and make sure the footer stays on one page. Hit the button and take note of the someExpression. Now add enough rows to force the footer to a new page. Hit th ebutton again and take note of the changed somExpression. So to solve your problem you will have to find out which page your footer is on. and then construct your expression to incorporate this chane in expression. Note that the indexes are 0 based but the page numbering is 1 based.
Hope that helps

Orphan table header at bottom of page when page breaks a table across multiple pages

Hi all,
I think similar questions have been asked before but I have not found an answer.
Here's the scenario:
I have several dynamic tables in a dynamic form. The layout is flowed, and everything can grow and shrink as needed. That all works.
However, my tables have headers. Occasionally when one of these tables is large and needs to break across multiple pages, there will be just enough room at the bottom of the previous page to show the next table header, but not enough space to show any of the related table rows. So it ends up looking silly, with just an orphaned header at the bottom of one page, and then the table continues on the next.
I have my tables set up so that headers get repeated on subsequent pages, by setting the header row to "repeat row for each data item" on the binding tab. I would like to keep that functionality, but I just want to find a way to avoid these "orphaned" table headers that sometimes appear.
I have tried the "keep with next" option. However, although this does push the rendering of the header to the next page, it seems that according to livecycle the table still officially began on the previous page. Therefore I get a duplicate header because of the "repeat row for each data item" option.
I have also tried having two header rows, one that is set to only be displayed on the initial page, and the other that is set to appear only on subsequent pages (pagination tab). This did not work - I ended up with duplicate table headers.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

You shouldn't have "repeat row for each data item" selected for header rows.
You should have "include header row in initial page" and "include header row in subsequent pages" selected on the Pagination tab.
Then using a "keep with next" might work ok.

My table header row repeats on page 2, but not thereafter -- why?

The header row on my dynamic table will repeat when the table overflows onto the second page, but if it flows over to a third or fourth page, the header does not repeat. Why is that? I'll be happy to send the form with the troublesome table via email to someone who can help,
Thanks,
Jenny

hi, its weird !!

Continued in table header

Hi, I have a requirement to add "Continued ... " to the table header.
I have the table header flowing to multiple pages using the MS-Word option to do so, but i am not sure how to add the " Continued... " to it.
I found a lot of forums discussing on how to add it to the table footer
( http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/continued ) but i am not able to get it to work for header.
Can someone please help me with this?

By the way, I tried a higher level approach, creating a global variable in
the report Initialize() event then trying to modify it in the Table's
OnPageBreak event, but it doesn't seem to work.
It is also possible (from my reading of the scripting model document) that
the OnPageBreak event does not fire when running the report using "View as
PDF" - can anyone confirm or deny that?

Dynamic Header row for table not aligned properly on 2nd Page

Hello Friends,
The problem is like this :
We have a table with dynamic number of columns and few of them are being hidden at runtime based on a configuration table.
Now problem while printing is that first page is printing the header row, but same is not being repeated on subsequent pages.
Please see the layout
Header row is warped in 2 subforms both are flowed - western text so that they will get squeezed if column is hidden
Here are the properties for subforms
1) overflowLeader => Flow top-bottom
2) OF_SF => Flowed , western text
On 2nd page all the columns are getting aligned to left hand side whereas printing fine on first page.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
in this case, you must use more nested wrapper subforms and set the root subform layout from "flow" to "positioned". I cannot give advice on how the wrapper subforms are organized, since it depends on your logic, just try it out.
Cheers,
Tao

Header row in a table is overlapping when it goes to the second page

Hello,
I have a header row in a table that I need to repeat on new pages if there is enough data to make it go to a new page. It is repeating on the second page, but when it does it all overlaps and is squashed to the left. It is 5 columns long and each column goes on top of the others to the left.
I am hoping someone might be able to help.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am facing the same issue.
My table header has 2-3 rows of data...the data is populated dynamically. The text fields are set to expand, so I have to make the subforms to flowed.
As soon as I set the subforms to Flowed...evrything overlaps on the second page.
Please help.

Hi,
Inside the main window I have two tables say 1st table, 2nd Table . In the 1st table I have only one row of data with header. In the 2nd table different header with many line items. It may go to next page.
Now my requirement is if due to 2nd table line item's if it moves to next page then 1st table header is also need to be printed in the second page.
For example.
1st Table:
Head1     Head 2         Head 3    Head 4
Val1        val2              val3          val 4
2nd Table
Title 1       Title 2          Title 3           Title 4
1              2                    3                   4
2              3                    5                   6
300        400                  500               452
Please let me know the solution. How i will display the header of 1st table if the line items of 2nd table exceeds to next page.
Thanks in Advance,
Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,
One basic query I have with your statement:
If I understand correctly, you have used text element inside table header without using line type.
I have not used the Line type. So those two options are not coming. I have used the text elements only.
Is it possible to create a text element directly inside table header without any line type?
If so may we know the steps you followed?

Table overflow, only header row fits on page, avoid header

Hello together,
I encountered the following problem with adobe forms. The form consists of a table with a header row and (for sure) a data part. The table is encapsulated on a subform. If the table doesn't fit on one page, it breaks correctly to the next page (including header).
Because the table is not the onliest content of my page, it could happen that only the header row fits on the first page. So after the header, I get a page break. Is it possible to avoid the output of the table on first page, if only the header row will fit on it?
Currently it looks like this:
FIRST PAGE
bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla
HEADER
<-- page break -->
NEXT PAGE
HEADER
DATA

Hello Niels,
thanks for you help. I tried a lot with the "Keep with:" options the last couple of hours and now I double checked the flags.
I missed the flag "Keep with: NEXT" at table header level. Now it works as expected.
The table is part of a subform of type "flow". For the subform, I also checked the Keep with flag becasue the subform contains more than just the table.
Now, if only the header row fits on the first page, the whole subform starts at the next page. If the table needs much more space, it correctly breaks at the end of the next page.
Thank you very much

Header table to repeat on every page

Hi,
     I have requirement and might be a common one. I have to built an rtf template for Purchase orders to output in pdf.I have a header table and detail table in the template. If there are more detail records the detail table get extended to next page but not the header. I have coded something like below:
for-each: g_header
     <header_table>
for-each: g_lines
     <detail_table>
end for-each
end for-each
If i change to something like below:
for-each: g_header
for-each: g_lines
     <header_table>
     <detail_table>
end for-each
end for-each
     it repeats both the tables for every detail line. I want the header section to repeat on every page. i think, this is a general issue. If anyone knows anything, Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am developing a PDF report with 4 levels of data.
Levels 1 to 3 contain the header info and Level 4 contains details.
For each new level 1,2,3 member, I want to display in a new page.
When the parent level has more than one child level, I want to repeat parent level info in all pages.
But there is some problem with my RTF template, I couldn't repeat header level in all pages.
I am doing something like below.
<?for-each@section:G_LEVEL1?>
<Level 1 table>
<?for-each-group:G_LEVEL2?>
<Level 2 table>
<?for-each-group:G_LEVEL3?>
<Level 3 table>
<?for-each:G_LEVEL 4_LINES?>
<Level 4 details table>
end for-each
page break end for-each
page break end for-each
end for-each
I have tried having header levels in RTF header itself and set the table property to repeat header. But all the pages are displaying same header.
Can you please help Srini ?
Many Thanks,
Krish

(ES4) How to create a flowable form that does not overlap when pushed to a new 2nd page

I have a form that involves text insertion boxes, plain text, and checkboxes. I successfully made my text insertion boxes a flowing expandable layout, but once it gets too big and it has to push the subforms below it onto a 2nd page, all that information overlaps eachother on the 1st line of the new page like the subforms disappear. How do i get it to flow like the original 1st page? I can post a pic if its confusing, but its so frusturating!

Dynamic table needs to break to 2nd page

Hi,
Still consider myself clueless when it comes to dynamic properties in a form.
I have a user interface that collects and stores data for some of our business accounts. A chunk of these fields are free-form text boxes.
I need the ability to simply, neatly display all information saved or entered in the user interface.
I'm working with LiveCycle and am required to have a standard header/footer on each page that consists of fields that will also populate with data from the user interface.
What I've tried is to set up the fields as a table. I have the ability to extend the field according to the amount of text entered, but have problems when the field should break to the next page.
I've allowed multiple lines for the text boxes, and set the table row to "expand to fit". Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get the system to accept or have available the setting Allow Page Breaks with Content.
When there is enough text to cause the field to break over a field, it simply takes the entire section to the next page.
Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
Karen

Input fields cannot be broken across pages in version 8.x and before.
That is why it is trying to keep the whole field together on a single page.
Sorry
