Hi
I have a complex table which is to be rendered in a dynamic print form.
The table has three nesting levels meaning that on the first level we have material groups, within a material group we have another table with material pictures (2nd level) and each picture has again another table with materials (3rd level). This structure conforms to the context shown in the Data View palette in ALD.
The rendered form should have page breaks at each new material group (level 1) as well as when the end of the content area is reached. This can occur at level 2 or three.
I have draged the whole structure from the Data View into my content area. ALD automatically sets the appropriate subforms to flow content and sets the Repeat Subform flag. I have then created a PDF upon some sample test data. Everything worked fine, page breaks were placed in the correct position.
I then extended the form by a header subform placed at the top of the content area on the body page. The header is to show the Material Group Id which is bound to the corresponding field of the actual Material Group record (1st level. This Id should remain the same after each page break due to a end of page in level 2 or 3. I have played around defining the header as Overflow Leader in the different subforms but I didn't succeed to obtain the correct result. Setting the Overflow Leader on the first level did not render the Material Group Id on the trailing pages of the same material group. Setting the Overflow Leader on the other levels resulted unpredictable page breaks and/or bad data structuring.
Is there any idea for a workaround to resolve this issue? The adobe documentation states about sales reports splitting at different conditions. Could anybody provide a sample demo of such a report?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
