Re: Need Good Flowed-Content Example/Sample File - Adobe LiveCycle 16-08-2011
Thanks, Niall. Those were very instructive.I guess what I'm trying to determine is how to vary content on any given page of my form between full-width and columnar formats.If I place full-width, left-column, and a right-column content areas on the same page, the content in those areas will apparently overlap.If I place the full-width content area on one page, and the right-column and left-column content areas on another page, they will not overlap; however, there will be a page break between the...

Need Good Flowed-Content Example/Sample File - Adobe LiveCycle 15-08-2011
Using Livecycle Designer ES2 9 and Windows XP. I am a beginner-to-intermediate LC user.I'm creating a set of contracts (e.g., subcontract, purchase order, etc.) which adjusts according to user input.I apparently can't get my head around how flowed forms work. My subforms/content do not flow as I expect. They tend to overlap, and I cannot figure out the correct combinations of master pages, content areas, flowed vs. positioned, pagination, etc., etc., etc.Does anyone have a good example of a flow...

Re: Why does LiveCycle Designer ES2 Script Editor Pane Flash and Hang? - Adobe LiveCycle 13-07-2011
As noted above, it appears to be independent of any form or code. It happens to all, so far as I can tell.Thanks.B

Re: Why does LiveCycle Designer ES2 Script Editor Pane Flash and Hang? - Adobe LiveCycle 13-07-2011
I continue to experience this problem. If it was a bug in version LC8, it's still a bug in LC9, because that's what I'm using.Whenever I open the script pane, it flashes and hangs as though it is stuck in an infinite loop, regardless whether the form/document contains any scripts. Just opening the script pane and selecting "All Events" from the combobox causes it.If need be, I can upload/send/post a video of the behavior.Bryan Capps

Re: How are text/fields laid out in columns? - Adobe LiveCycle 06-07-2011
Thanks, Niall. I will review the examples and explore what you suggest. I do have constraints on reducing/changing font size, because some of the "boilerplate" includes provisions which are required to meet certain conspicuity requirements, including specific or minimum font sizes.I find it remarkable that there are such helpful people like you willing to make themselves available as resources to users like me. I so appreciate it.Bryan Capps

Re: How are text/fields laid out in columns? - Adobe LiveCycle 06-07-2011
That is indeed the problem. The boilerplate/static text comes at the end of the contract, after content which varies in height (page length). If LiveCycle's built-in functions/properties cannot handle newspaper-style columns, then I'm assuming that code would be required to evaluate the remaining space on a page (content area) and programatically break the columns into equal lengths. For professional reasons, I cannot afford the time/expense of buying/learning additional software (e.g., InDesign...

Re: How are text/fields laid out in columns? - Adobe LiveCycle 05-07-2011
Yes, the two forms are similar, because they both suffer from the same problem. The form I uploaded/posted likewise is not formatted in newspaper-style columns.What I'm trying to achieve is a form with both fields and with static text, e.g., a purchase order, subcontract, contract, etc. Some of the content of these forms is variable, i.e., user-filled/entered, and some of the content is not variable, i.e., boilerplate terms and conditions, etc. For readability's sake, I tend/like to use columnar...

Re: How are text/fields laid out in columns? - Adobe LiveCycle 05-07-2011
Not really. The columns in that example are not newspaper style, i.e., two (or more) equal-length columns. In other words, the overflow column on the second page is not two equal-length columns, but a single column. If the default text in the field is reduced in length, the two columns on the first page also cease to be equal-length (i.e., they are only equal length in the example because the default text is long enough to fill both columns of the first page).Bryan Capps

Re: How are text/fields laid out in columns? - Adobe LiveCycle 05-07-2011
Niall, thanks. The test document is published athttps://acrobat.com/#d=GgE1H2V7f4ArpFDjP8YFLw. It consists of two full-width subforms/sections (first one in red text, second one in blue), with a 2-column subform/section in between (in black text).Anyone else have a suggestion for properly flowing (newspaper-style) columnar text?Bryan Capps
