Dynamic/Flowable Form Fields

[JSpencerGallini]

I am working on a basic form called Performance Evaluation. It consist of  6 different tables. The original form was designed in Word 2003 and convert to PDF using LiveCycle Designer ES. My questions is, my form fields continue to "fall off the page" when the text fields are completed with data. I am also having a hard time combining the tables that have been "placed" on page 2 during the conversation of .doc to pdf. I can not seem to make all of the table work together much less flow together to complete the dynamic, interactive form I would love to have. I want everyone to be able to write as much as they want in the comments section and keep everything together and not create blank pages..

I have attached the form so everyone can take a look. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. . I can make text field flowable, and have them flow to a second page for simple forms/applications. It is when I add table that the Hierarchy becomes a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Jenn

This form would be much easier if you did not have the table structures there. I would suggest that you rebuild it without tables. For those sections that you want to allow to grow dynamically makes sure that they are in a flowed subform and then make sure you click the expand to fit in he Y direction on the Layout tab.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I have started a new form and not locating the flowable text fields into tables, but into their own individual cells.

I have made the subforms  flow., and now they are continuing on the second page and not running off the page. However, I do have another question...(every solution sometimes creates another problem)  Now that my text field-data is flowing to the second page, the text itself is moving from the right hand column to the left hand column on the next page. This really does not bother me that much, but I have a feeling it will confuse everyone using the interactive pdf.  Any suggestions?

Thanks - Jenn

Not sure I follow ...can you post an example?

Attached is my example of the text flowing into the left hand column on the second page, rather then the right hand column. Thanks again for your help. I know I have one other issue to deal with (you will see this in the example), but I am pretty sure I know how to fix it.

Thanks again - Jenn

OK I see now .....I do not use tables unless I am using a static form and that is one of the reasons why. The overflow has no concelt that it is on a table so it starts in the 1st available position. I do not know of an easy way to fix this.

Thanks - I am just happy the form flows and seems to work. I appreciate the help and I will remember to stay away from tables unless I am using a static form layout.
