Table skips to second page when full

Avatar

Level 4

Hi,

I have a couple tables inside of subforms in my pdf.  When the last table in the attached .pdf, 11. DESCRIPTION gets full enough, the cell under 11. DESCRIPTION, skips to the second page.  I just want the extra text that won't fit on page 1 to skip to page 2, not all of the text.  It should create as many pages as the text needs to fill.  It doesn't seem to create the pages as needed.

Can someone help me out?

I've attached the file.

I think part of the problem is that you are using a table cells when you should be using a text fields. I'm not sure how table cells handle page breaks.

Get rid of the tables and just have the text fields sitting in the flowed subform and you should be good.

The problem is that I need to have them in a table.  Is this possible? Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Why do they need to be in a table? They're just single text fields.

Because I want the whole form to be in a table.

Maybe you are coming from an HTML background, but there really isn't any need to use tables as a layout tool. Putting your text fields in table cells adds nothing, and may just make things more difficult.

within your hierarchy window, select your table.  now in your object window, in the table tab, select 'allow page breaks within content'.  that should get you where you want to go.  it will probably break at the affected row though.  if you want the individual row to break then the table must be allowed to break before you can allow the row to break.  follow?  have fun.
