why so difficult to mix portrait/landscape pp?

[Former Community Member]

I have to make a form.

First page has to be portrait, and contain specific info - Master Page 1.

Next 2 pages are also portrait but will have different information,  use a different Master page, MP 2.

Next page (or pages if there is a lot of input) is Landscaped. DIFFERENT Master page. MP 3.

the ALWAYS final page is a separate master page with content that is set ONLY to occur that one time, last page. Not worried about that.

So what is the best way to make this - create MPs and apply them? tried that and I get extra pages that I cannot get rid of.

Any suggestions?

thanks

The best way to deal with different masterpages is a complete flowing layout with less body pages but more page breaks.

I made an example.

https://acrobat.com/#d=i1AL-SFzvDF4dT1kPwunIQ

It contains 3 masterpages and 3 body pages.

The body pages a flowing top to buttom and break if the content is to large.

Each of the body pages is placed fix on it's desired masterpage.

Hi Radzmar,

That is a very interesting use of Master Pages. I am going to try it out with my content to see if it helps. I will let you know.

Thanks for filling in another bit of the puzzle which is Livecycle Designer!

Hi Radzmar,

so far things are looking good.

A question: the Portrait page layout in your form has a Height of 11.192 (inches - I had to convert it from cm). It's very long. How do I change the height of the page, not the content area, but the actual page itself?

This could be another useful tool to know.

Thanks!

Select MP1, then choose another paper size in the object pallette.

My sample uses 4A format, sorry.
