Livecycle form page layout changes from portrait to landscape

[Worst, Debbie]

I'm developing a form in Livecycle Designer that has it's first page as portrait.  The second and third pages are supposed to be landscape (that is the way the hard copy is set up), in order to fit all of the data.

 

I have a couple of questions.  First, how do I make the second page landscape when the first is portrait and second, if I have a table on the first page that can grow, how do I control that if it happens to go to the second page?

 

Have never run across this so far and don't know how to even begin.

 

HELP!

 

Thanks,

I can answer the first question quickly:

You can create a second master page and set the orientation to
landscape in the Object palate.

Thank you. I will do that, but I still need to know how to handle my second question of overflow from portrait page 1.

What behavior do you need in the form when the table grows to the
subsequent pages ?
If your first page is portrait and the second one is landscape, the
default behavior will flow the table on the landscape page and your
layout will be landscape for the rest of the pages.

If my table grows from the first page that is portrait to a second page, (add instance, of rows), then I want it to still be portrait.

Ok, I just don't get it. I've read the help screens and searched on line. When I click on Master Page in the Hierarchy and then insert new master page, change the orientation to landscape and name it, click back on my design view tab, it has added another instance of my portrait master page which I don't want. All I want to do is to add my info on my portrait first page and then insert a second page that is landscape. Also if I have a table that "grows" on my first portrait page and it flows over the first page will it pick up the portrait second page or will it be on the landscape format?

Please help....

Armaghan.

You need to play with the settings on the Pagination tab, found on the
Object palette.

When the document breaks to a new page you can specify what you want
to happen. You can tell it to use a different master page and/or
content area. You can also specify where you want things to appear to
begin with.

So in your case I'd look at telling the subform/object that you want
to be on the landscape page to be on the landscape page by changing
the Place: setting on the Pagination tab.
