Help Me to make my form grow dynamically

[Former Community Member]

hi to all,

i have made a form for daily reporting of construction activities,in which i have a made a table which i want to grow dynamically if the user wants to give more data and i want the form to show all the content while taking a printout.

I tried using some help but the table overlaps with the object below that.

Kindly help me and pls use layman terms, as i am pretty new to livecycle.

Is there a way to attach my form ,so that i can get help?

DO advice me,

Hi,

There are several ways of achieving this. You can set up the textfield to expand height to fit content (see Layout tab). Here are a few examples:

Here is another example where the textfield is expandable on clicking the +/- button AND on prePrint: https://acrobat.com/#d=KVeR0qUe9TMd0CCRBEeFTA

This takes a bit more scripting but gives more control.

If you want to share your form, you will need to upload it onto a file sharing site like Acrobat.com and then share the published URL here.

Hope that helps,

Please correct my form so that i can use that as a model for my further forms.

Hi,

Were the examples a help? You should try and work through the process of dynamic forms, so that you will be better armed to maintain the forms going forward.

Here is your form back to you: https://acrobat.com/#d=gT2qPCEDxfLyHc0QDSOmTg

I would recommend that you name objects as you go, including pages and subforms.

In your form you will see that I have groups objects above the table in a positioned subform, 'header'. Similarly I have grouped all of the objects beneath the table in a 'footer' positioned subform. Then the table is in a flowed subform AND 'page1' is also set to flowed.

I would always recommend setting 'page1' to flowed as the last step. First get all your objects sorted in positioned/flowed subforms.

Hope that helps,
