Problem with dynamic table

Avatar

Level 2

As users write a lot in text fields of, the table jumps to another page (it doesn't look nice) and overflows. Users can't see the rest of the table.

The problem seems to be the subform below. Do you have any ideas to avoid this without changing much the interface?

Cheers,

PS: I couldn't find the attachment button to upload the form..it used to be at the bottom!!

Edigo,

    Here is the updated file for the issue with the Overall Field.

https://acrobat.com/#d=gDwYFDJIa6zSQ9JAtAaXUQ

    See if the suggessitions column is working as per your requirement..

One thing is if you enter more text in any of the field, the Table/Row will do a page break if it extends beyond the height of the page.

Then if you enter a smaller length text in another field, then it will be displayed on the first page but since the row has been "Page Broken", if you click on the same field in second row it will also display the same text. (Once you remove your mouse from that field second page, the text will disappear. But it will be displayed in the first page all the time. The text in this field was not "Page Broken", that's the reason for this kind of behaviour).

Hope I explained it better for you..

Let me know if you need more help..

Thanks

See if the attachment helps..

I set the Allow page breaks for Row1. Removed Row1[1] in the heirarchy.

Unchecked the "Repeat Row for each Data Item" in the Binding tab of the Header Row.

It's so much better. But there is still small problems in the second row. It doesn't expand, the text in "suggestion" column doesn't appear if we doesn't click on it. By the way, the "Overall" text field is not dynamic.

Thanks a ton for your help,

Srini,

It works perfect. I took the button scripts from the previous post for use in this one.

Thank you a million for helping out.

Dear Srini,

I got the same problem with the form below. The "outline" table is not working properly even I check "allow for page break".

Do you have a thought of it?
