Adobe Forms Overflow Header problem

[mrb268]

Hi,

I ran into this problem several times.

I create a document, which has several positions, where each position has multiple lines.

In addition, I create a header for these positions, where this header has also multiple lines.

-------------------

Header Line 1

Header Line 2

-------------------

Pos 1 Line 1

Pos 1 Line 2

---

Pos 2 Line 1

Pos 2 Line 2

---

Pos 3 Line 1

Pos 3 Line 2

Now I define, that this header should work as an overflow header for page breaks within the positions.

It will condense all lines within the header, if the content is set to flow layout and a page break occurs.

For conditional page breaks it just works fine, only if there are to many positions to fit on one page, it does not work.

Until now, my headers always were static, so I switched to positioned content, and it worked just fine.

In my actual form, it is fully dynamic, so lines and fields need to be hidden if empty. So I really need the content to be flow in the header.

Anyone ever had this bug before and knows a solution?

One idea for a workaround came to my mind. As I am working with 2 different master pages, I could solve the problem maybe with some scripting.

Therefore I would need to know on which masterpage or which content area the actual content is placed.

Does anyone know, how to get the name of the masterpage ot the content area in formcalc or java script?

Thanks

Marius

The thread is quite old, but if you hit the same issue, the following excerpt from Adobe LiveCycle documentation makes it quite clear :

Always set up overflow leader and trailer subforms to Positioned content and deselect the Allow Page Breaks option. Otherwise, the rendered form may contain errors such as duplicate headers or overlapping fields.
