I think you replied to the wrong person. I'm still not able to get this
working.

Subject: Can LiveCycle Designer do this?
I've got an issue that i've been banging my head on for quite 5 hours..
I've being working with livecycle and have the fields expanding and
everything worksl like a champ. My issue is say between page 2 (untitled
subform)(page2) and page 3 (untitled subform)(page 3) when the field
expands and lets say it goes on the next page the form leaves the rest of
the page blank more than half and then the next page contains the next
subform.
My question is how do you get the subform from the third page to start
right after the last one on the second page regardless of how much text is
put in by the user essentially eliminating all the dead space.
Everything is under form1 with 10 subforms each with their own page.
PLEASE HELP i will be forever grateful.

Cherstein, it's probably this -
You need to select your relevant page subform, have it flowed and in the pagination pallette alter to 'follow previous'. I'm guessing it is still 'Top of Next Page' - that's the default.
Hopefully this will be of some help.

I guess I am too new to understand this - I am trying to use the options
within the object library, and I don't see the commands you mention. I'll
attach the form and I hope you can help me to understand.

OK, Barum - here is what I have so far. I don't understand why I am finding this so difficult. On Page 2 of this Dynamic form, I have 5 goal text sections that I have set to expand to fit and to allow multiple lines and page breaks within content. I wrapped each in a subform and set content to flowed and to allow page breaks with content. The Pagination tab is greyed out. Finally I set the entire page to subform. This isn't the easiest software to use and understand. How do I do when a subform is done correctly?
No matter what I try, each section's content flows over to the next one. Got any ideas.

Did you ever get an answer to this or figure this out? I'm in the exact same boat right now and it's driving me nuts! I would appreciate any help I can get from anyone.

My guess is that the next page (after the expanding bit is usally a page) is set to positioned and as such cannot fit in the space that is left so a new page is created and the rest of th eprevious page is left balnk. If you make everything that follows that growable bit flowed then there will not be any blanck parts.

No, but I hadn't tried working on that project since. I think Paul
Guerett posted something. Let me know if it works for you.

Hi, in the Layout tab, be sure to click Expand to fit when you want your text field to expand.

Hi again Cherstein. I've attached an edited version of your form. Several points:- Put your footer on the master page - very important.
If your form is going to be interactive with expanding boxes etc, save your form as dynamic and also check your form properties in the toolbar - it needs to be dynamic and interactive. Name your subforms as you go along. It's preferable to name all your objects - a pain but!!
Also I noticed you've added rectangles around your text boxes - just use the 'border' pallette and select your lines - much easier. Re. page subforms - if you want your layout to flow directly after the last subform, make your page subform 'follow previous' - you'll see in my example.
Good luck, I hope I've been of assistance.

Barum, thanks for you help. The reason there are rectangles around the
text boxes is that it was a pdf form converted from a word document in
Adobe Acrobat 9. It detected the fields. Is that a problem? I didn't
create the form directly in LiveCycle.

Hi again cherstein. The problem with the rectangles is that they won't 'grow' with your expanding boxes hence it would be better to delete them and incorporate borders with the relevant text boxes.
Good luck

OK, so I have a text field, with options allow multiple lines and expand to fit selected, and the form saved as Dynamic xml, but the darn thing will not expand
vertically - it always gives me a scroll bar instead of expanding. What else could I be forgetting? I've tried wrapping the field in a subform, with no result.
Thanks,
Keith
