Excel Like PDF

[GYKR]

Hi, I am a total newbie to the LiveCycle Designer and after searching the forum, I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. (The answer might in the forum, maybe I am searching with the wrong keywords)

I am creating an customer order sheet with all the fancy drop downs to save input time. It's great compare to the excel file I created. But there is limitation for the pdf. I can only pre design how many rows on the table. So for example, I have 15 lines for prodcut input but if the customer order more than 15 lines I am snookered. Is there a way to create a pdf form with auto cell and page expansion?

Very sorry if this sound silly...... (Please don't kick me out of this forum.)

Hi, are you trying to base your PDF form on how many items you have in an excel file or just trying to find a way to let the user change the PDF as he needs it to be?

In your table you can add a column (preferably on the left side) and have a subform in that cell which contains 2 buttons:

Button 2:

//removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index);//remove an instance at the index specified

this.resolveNode("_Row1").removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index);

To do so you must make sure that your table created has "Body Rows Vary Depending on Data"

Thank you Magus069,

I have created a table, in the second to last row, first cell from the left I created a subform. Within the subform is the + and - buttons. I have set the click property for each of the buttons but is not working I am not doing something right. Sorry..... total newbie, could you explain a little more in details please. Thank you very much!

Hi GYKR, you must make sure that all the syntax_reference are according to your hierarchy

TableItems should be the name of your table and Row1 the name of the Row

you probably need to resolveNode to be able to access the item...

Could you take a screenshot of your hierarchy and send it here and show your code
