Recurring Subforms

[CadenC7]

I have created a form with recurring subforms. When additional subforms are added with the click of the "add" button it creates a new page rather than just move the remainder of the text down the page to make room for the additional subforms.  Is there a way to fix this?

Can you share your form? Or at least share the code in the click event of the button. There could be a number of reasons including the script, positioned/flowed subforms and the paginations settings.

Sounds like a design problem of the form.

The form structure should look like this.

form1

     master page

     body page (floating top to bottom - allow page breaks)

          subform1 (positioned - recurring - allow page breaks)

          subform2 (positioned - for the remainder)

Thanks so much. The repeating subform is on page 3. I have been working with the older versions of Livecycle and this is my first repeating subform. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here are some examples of repeating subforms.

If you have a look at the structure in the hierarchy, how the page is set to flowed and the pagination settings. Also have a look at the script in the click event of the buttons. Please note that the underscore (_) in front of the name of the repeating object, is shorthand for instanceManager.

Paul Guerette is giving an online Tech Talk on the 30 November on dynamic forms. It will be a good one to attend - details here: http://acrobatusers.com/events/49326/tech-talk-developing-flowable-form-content
