what is the use of sub forms in adobe forms?

Hi,

subforms can be thought of as folders containing several objects. They can be used for the simple reason of keeping order in the Hierarchy, as it is possible to expand and compress subforms.

There are two types of subforms:

1) If of type Position Content, objects of subforms can be laid down at their exact position at runtime, relative to the subform. For example, if a text field has been positioned at the top left corner of a subform of type Position Content, it will always be positioned at the top left corner of the subform, independent where on a page this subform is included. (The Hierarchy

position of an object within a subform of type Position Content is irrelevant for its layout position.)

2) IfoftypeFlow Content, the objects will follow each other, depending on the space they require at runtime. A body page (as the topmost subform) is typically of this type.

Hi,

u2022if you want to output the element repeatedly (type Flow Content)

u2022if you want to visually group objects

u2022if you want to keep objects together (protect them against page break)

u2022if you want to hide several elements at once (scripting required)
