Livecycle Form Paging Issue - Please Help!

[Former Community Member]

Hi there,

Please could someone help with a paging issue that I am having with a Livecycle form? One of the subforms I have created keeps jumping to the end of the page and I do not know for the life of me how to fix it!! It is driving me crazy and I seem to have tried everything.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi Ken,

Get the pagination settings back to basics. Follow Previous and Continue Filling Parent. Also until both of the Kepp checkboxes.

Does that help?

Hi Niall,

Thanks for getting back to me. I still can't manage to resolve this and aside from the paging issue when adding in information into section 4b and this is saved the data is added under 4a. I'm not sure why this is and have tried renaming but this does not work. Please see link below -

Ken,

This sounds like a tabbing order issue.

Please review your tabbing order. It is possible that if you have a dynamic form, and you add a new instance of the subform at run time, the tab order does not know where to go now once you leave the last field in the subform, and geographic tabbing order takes over, sending you to the bottom of the page, or a lone tab-able field on the master page appears to send you to bottom of the page as it is next in the tab order after leaving the subform.

What Reader version do you see this happening in, and what Designer version did you use to design this?

Hi Ken,

I can see that you are not using data binding and have lots of the subforms with the same name which is going to cause chaos when loading the data into the form.

As a first step I would rename Subform[0] - Subform[23] to something unique.

Kind Regards

Yes, for the "save" issue now that I see the form, I would try Kevin Mortimer's suggestion. The binding is "automatic" for all the subforms[0..23], meaning we will use the name of the object to merge the data with. Like names are significant, where as unique names are not.

When you reload the form, and no data exists for section 4a, but it does in 4b, we will match the 1st instance of 'Subform', and it appears that Subform[22] is a copy of Subform[23], meaning 4a gets the data.

You can avoid this by using a DataConnection (schema), or make sure names are unique in the heirarchy and the data structure matches appropriately.

Which subform did you notice the page jumping from?

Thanks for replying. Its adobe reader x that the error happens in. Oddly it seems fine in pro but the issues happen when reader is used! The form was designed using Livecycle Designer ES2.

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

Having fixed the above issue I now have a problem with paging regarding a dynamic table. I want users to be able to add rows and for the form to flow, which it does but after you add so many rows the paging gets messed up. Its section 3 in learning outcomes where users add the rows.
