Thank you all!Both answers set me on track.The following code works in fact:if ((xfa.layout.y(myForm.myMasterpages.masterpage1.LineFooter) - xfa.layout.y(this)) < 150) {    this.seperatingLine.presence = "hidden";    }else {    this.seperatingLine.presence = "visible";    }This vaporizes a line if i...

Niall,I checked out your sample form. It has a positioned layout. But in fact that doesn't make a difference. I changed my layout to positioned as well and still get an error.I also tried it without the optional parameter - same error:xfa.host.messageBox(xfa.layout.y(this));delivers an error.I have ...

Hi,I used this line in version 7 of the designer in the layoutReady-event:xfa.host.messageBox(xfa.layout.y(this, "in"));// this being a subform in a flowed layoutNow with the current version I keep getting an error about differing arguments.[I have serveral blocks of text seperated by lines (wrapped...

Hello,my customer just handed me over an xdp he derived by importing a word file.It has a number of master pages and 3 positioned pages.Funny thing is, that the pagination tab is grayed out at those 3 page.I really would like to tell the pages in which content area they should appear.Why is it graye...

I tried it, and it works!Now the real work starts as this is quite a large form and I have to go thru all fields to make sure, that none of those fields has one of those header-field names. Oh well.In other words: I wish PDFs had a different logic here. Adobe could really work o...

Hi,I have a table and populate it with an XML file.The cells of the header row are text fields (not text objects). The data for the table header also comes from the XML file.After a page break I get a header row on top of each page, which is good. Yet the fields are empty. The fields are filled only...

Hi Srini,via eMail you let me know:"    1) You did not add any data connection. You only added the XML path in the preview. With out the Data binding, form does not know where to populate the XML data. (Check the ScreenShot2 for Data connection.) I created a data connection and bound the fieldsto th...

Hi,I have a form with a table being pre-populated by an XML file.That works fine.Now I want to give the user the possibility to add more rows.For that purpose I added to the right-most field of the table row an exit-event with this JavaScript code:this.parent.instanceManager.addInstance(true);The st...

Sorry to hear that - but it sounds reasonable.I chose the second best choice and force the data into a more tabular format. Doesn't look as good. But that just are the technical limitations.Thanks a lot for the answer!

Hi Paul,the former. It is NOT like in a newspaper where the content runs from left to right from one column into the next and finally into the leftmost column of the next page.Im my case the content of the 2 columns is completly separat from each other: The data in the left column is distincly left-...
