Table that span multiple pages

Avatar

Level 2

I use Adobe LifeCycle Designer ES 8.2 to create a form that contains a table that can span multiple pages depending on the amount of data entered by the user.

I followed the instruction as contained in the Help / Tutorial to create the form. But when the table exceeds the length of the page, new pages are NOT created.

What else do I need to do?

++++++++++++= Tutorial +++++++++

To set up a table to span multiple pages

To enable tables to automatically flow to the next page, you must ensure the following conditions:

The table must be in a subform that is set to Flowed in the Subform tab of the Object palette.

The Allow Page Breaks Within Content option is selected in the Table tab.

The table is not in a group.

Now you can make adjustments to the table to ensure that the information is displayed the way you wa...when the table spans multiple pages. You can include a Table continued tag at the top of the next page if the table spans more than one page.

Hello,

First of all make sure that your Table lies inside a Flowed subform. Lets say if it's in Page-1 then make that page as flowed. Then in Table select Allow Page breakes within Content.

Thanks,

In your form, though Subform2 which is the parent Subform of the Table is flowed, still the Subform Stock is positioned. So the layout of the stock is fixed as Subform2 is a child elemet of Stock so it can flow unless the parent is flowed. So, if you make the parent Subform of Subform2 which is Stock in this, it will work. But be careful, doing show might change your layout. You need to re arrange.

I have sent you the form. I have made the Subform Stock as flowed, but before doing so, I have wrapped all those non flowable objects into a subform.

Hi

Thanks a lot. The form works and the table can now span to the next page.

However, when the form is "Submitted" back to the originator, only data in the first row of the table is captured in the response file. All the other rows are left out.

How do I get all the data in the table into the Response File?

I have sent the relevant files to your gMail account.

Thanks

Hi

Attached are the saved completed PDF-Form and the response file after the completed form has been submitted. I have copied this message to your gMail account.

Only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file.

If it is working correctly on your side, please let me know what could have gone wrong on my side.

Thank you.
