If yes, I've seen this functionality working fine. Ideally you want that text field read-only if the data comes form a back-end system. Also allowing height setting to 'fit to text' should be enabled on the text field (text area - text field with multiple lines allowed). If this doesn't work then send me the form and i'll have a look at it for you. cheers, Parth Hi Vinay,

I have a text box with material text. this text box might break depending on the data. The problem I am facing is the field breaks as required but the data in the part of field on the next page starts printing from the starting of the text. Thus the data is not printed correctly and completely. Can this problem be SAP related?? Please help...I am stuck.. Vinay Hi Parth,

Loralon Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:06:28 +0000 http://livecyclekarma.wordpress.com/?p=65#comment-32 Thank you Parth, Yes, actually when I discovered the Ctrl+E I thought my problem was solved but the users want more features. So I proposed to do the following: add a word template to my form and create a button on the form to open the word document so that the users work from one form/location. II am currently able to achieve the above but the question is now to have another button on the form to print both the form and the attachment. So I was wondering whether you might be able to help me using JavaScript to create a button that will print the form and the attached document at the same time. Thank you in advance for your help. Loralon Thank you Parth,

I implemented the Text field usage that I talked in my reply earlier and that works on reader 8 too! It may be helpful to you in achieving same results across multiple reader versions.

Of course the problem remains that earlier versions will not render the document properly. So in that sense the problem lingers. My latest quest will involve disabling the restriction on saving the form data in Reader 9.0. It's always something... OK, the solution to my last post was installing Adobe Reader 9.0.

Last night I was so frustrated that I went to Adobe can came across LiveCycle Designer ES (I have been using 8.0), installed the trial product, and there were the check boxes I'd been looking for: "Allow Page Breaks Within Content" and "Keep with Next" The page break worked great when I added the text object to a new form. The PDF preview was great. So I saved the form as a dynamic PDF and everything is back to the way it was before---the text once again runs down page and gets lost below the footer and doesn't break to the next page. Any ideas? I can't be the only one with this problem, right? Parth,

I'm thinking of trying out text-field that looks like text object to achieve what you need. You should change the appearance of that text field to look like a text object (with some background fill and removal of borders). Also make the text field to read only. Before you assign the text to this text field you should get the contract content with embedded field values. This will allow the lengthy contract details to break at proper location. regards, Parth Hi Bob,
