Requirement - We need to design the table in sap adobe forms in below format (assume)

Header -

HEAD1 | HEAD2| HEAD3|HEAD4|HEAD5|HEAD6|HEAD7|HEAD8

with body design as

Body -

ROW1 | ROW2

ROW3 | ROW4 | ROW5 | ROW6 | ROW7 | ROW8

with the table approach (wizard. Table creation from palette) above is not feasible.

So have opted the sub forms table design and created the 3 sub forms :  1 for header and 1 for body and 1 for table where we can place both header and body sub forms.

Requirement is - header should has to flow to subsequent pages whenever data flows .

Firstly I have designed the table, header and body sub forms as flowed, With this approach, headers are not at all flowing to subsequent pages whenever data flows.

To achieve that , correct approach is -

  1. Table sub form should be flowed

  2. Header sub form should be positioned

  3. Body sub form should be flowed


In the Body sub form ->pagination -> Overflow Leader -> we need to give Header sub form name which ever has to repeat for subsequent pages.

With this approach we can able to design Tables ( headers/body) in our customized ways and also able to repeat headers of the table to sub sequent pages when ever data flows.

Hi Sreeram,

 

I've been struggling with something similar to what you describe here.

This is my scenario, Table subform:


Header subform:


Body subform:


After all that, the header is not being replicated in the subsequent pages.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,

Ivo

Hi Ivo,

 

I was facing a similar issue related to header replication on the next pages. My header is a little bit different, however a friend and I were able to apply the correct settings.

Please look at the screenshots below.

REQUIREMENT

TABLE

HEADER

*Content must be Positioned. This ensure the header will be replicated correctly to the next pages.

**In my case, I started designing the header as Flowed because it was simpler. Once you have the header ready, you need to change it to Positioned.
