I have a form that has a main subform set to flowed with additional subforms also set to flowed. Within these subforms, I there is a table with only two rows, a header row and body row. All of the subforms, tables and body rows are set to allow page breaks within content. In the body row of each of the tables, there is a button to add a row, a button to remove the row and the other fields contain text fields which allow multiple lines and will expand to fit. My problem is that the "allow page break within content" for these text fields is greyed out and therefore will not split across pages.
I tried putting a subform in the cell with the text field in that. The text field now allows the text field to break but the option to allow the containing subform is greyed out so it still does not work.
I also tried taking these fields out of a table and putting them in a flowed western text subform. This works however, if for example, the far right text field flows to the next page, instead of staying to the the right, the remaining text moves to the left instead of directly under its original position.
Does anyone know why the option to break across pages would be unavailable or have a possible solution?
I am using Livecycle Designer ES2 version 9.0.0.2 that shipped with Acrobat X.
Thanks.

Thank you, however, my text fields in the rows will not break. If there is too much information in a cell/column, for example in the first table, the field will not break and will leave a blank second page before starting putting the information on the third page. Even there, the information will stop at the end of that page and cut of any additional text.

This may be a pagination problem or the something similar.
Can you share the form, so I can look on it?

Hi,sorry for the delay, I was very busy.
I checked your form and found some errors I had to fix.
Anyway, the break problem then still occured.
The reason were the buttons in the table cells that to not break properly.
I could fix this by wrapping the buttons in subforms.
Now the row can have several page breaks without destroying the layout.
Here's the download to the form.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this for me. It now works perfectly!
I am curious about the errors you had to fix. I see that you removed the tables from the subforms they were in. I know tables don't need a separate subform however, there was originally other content there which is why I had put them in one.
If you get a chance to let me know what they were, that would be great.
Thank you again very much!

Hi,
when you open the older version you get several errors dispayed in the warnings tab because of a wrong target version setting.

Oh ok, I see. Thank you again!
That's more effective and flawless than setting up each cell individually and ensures the table works properly.
