How do I add a new page dynamically base on the expendable text field?

[Former Community Member]

Hi, All,

I've created a form with flow subform and expendable text fields. When the user fills out lengthy content, the form get cut off. Is there a way to dynamically add pages base on the content that user fills in the expendable text field?

Thanks,

May be you need check some things..

1) See if the form is saved as Dynamic PDF form.

2) The TextField should be set the "Expand to Fit" Check box checked in the Height property.

3) The subform that contains the TextField should set to Auto Fit for Height.

Thanks

Thanks, Srini.

I've done everything you mentioned. It works fine as long as I still stay on the same page. When the content is longer than a page, the extra content got cut off and the following fields also got cut off, too.

What I did was very simple,

1. create a text field (allow multiple lines, auto-fit to Y)

2. add some static text under to be "pushed"

3. wrap both text field and static text in a subform and set it to flow (from top to bottom)

4. save it as a dynamic pdf

Then when I test it with long content, the pdf still stay only 1 page. The partial content of the text field and the static text I oringinal set up to be push were not visible anymore. (been push out of the page).

Any idea what else I need to set??

Thanks a lot~~~

Verify that the parent of the subform also has a flow layout. If you have the below structure, both page1 and subform need to have a flow layout.

page1 (must be flow)

     subform (must be flow)

               textfield (must be allow multiple lines and expand to fit for height)

If you've done all of that, then it should work.

That's it, John. Thank you for heling me to figure it out.
