Table of tables

[umberto_panico]

Hi to All,

I should print an Adobe Form that have a table of tables (each row of first table contains n-rows as items).

Example:

TABLE
  ROW_1
     SUB_TABLE
        SUB_ROW1
        SUB_ROW2
        SUB_ROW3
  ROW_2
     SUB_TABLE
        SUB_ROW1
        SUB_ROW2
        SUB_ROW3

When the number of rows exceed the size of page (overflow) the subsequent items aren't printed in the top of the next page.

How do manage the overflows options?

The BodyPage that contains the subform TABLE is "flowed" and allows page breaks

Do you have examples?

If you need other details please ask on this thread.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Umberto

Every "sub-items" (subforms) need to have the "allow page breaks" checkbox checked (except the really small ones like the ones on the bottom level of the hierarchy).

Hi Otto,

thank you for your interest.

Unfortunately your tip doesn't work.

I think that I should use the overflows options.

Suppose we have for the 'HEADER 1' of the previous example 10 items rows and only 5 can be written in the first page. Then I need to write in the second page the others items without replicate HEADER1 information and the itemes have to be written on the top of the netx page:

Example:

PAGE: 1

HEADER 1

items_1

items_2

items_3

items_4

items_5

PAGE: 2

items_6

items_7

items_8

items_9

items_10

PAGE: 3

HEADER 2

items_1

items_2

items_3

items_4

items_5

PAGE: 4

items_6

items_7

items_8

items_9

items_10

Only with page breaks option the result is very strange, I have the first page with ONLY header_1 information, the second page is blank then the third page contains ONLY the ITEMS of header_1 (truncated at end of page).

I hope to resolve as soon as possible this issue (please help me!!).

Thanks & Regards,

Umberto

Turn on the trace (to attach the template and the data to the PDF), print, send. Otto

p.s.: These are VERY basic questions. Are you sure Accenture cannot afford some training?

Hi,

the problem was simple, I'm newbie :).

The header subforms of the main table was positioned and not flowed, changing the value works fine.

Thanks again (Otto) & Best Regards,

Umberto
