I've looked everywhere online, in Designer, and in Terry's LCD book for the answer - and can't find anything. I've been using Designer for over two years now and consider myself well-versed. This one has me stumped though.
I have a 2-page form: first page is portrait, second is landscape. All headers and footers are where they need to be, outside of the content area. Aside from creating 2 master pages (one portrait, one landscape), and restricting their occurrences....I cannot figure out a way to create my form content on the second master page (landscape). When I click over to the design tab, the pages are there, visible in layout - however only the first page allows me to place objects into it. The landscape page is blank - no content area or anything that I can move. I cannot drag items into it. The only way I am able to put my information onto the landscape page is by creating it in the master tab.
So, I've resorted to putting together my information on the master tab. Works fine and dandy, except when there is an object that needs to expand/flow. I have my subform and text field set up correctly and when tested in PDF preview, expands as it should. Trouble is, it ignores the boundary of my content area and completely runs off the bottom of the page/screen. It also does not break and carry onto another page (no additional page is generated).
How can I create two different types of pages for one form, so that each can be edited in the design view? What am I missing??
I think the problem is that you don't have a page subform (subform parented to the root subform, named "form1" by default) that's set to be placed on the second master page (the landscaped one).
Content on the Design tab ("body pages") is flowed into content areas on master pages. Using the "Object palette > Pagination > Place" property, you can place a particular page subform onto a specific master page. To place objects in the landscaped page's content area, simply set a page subform to be placed on that specific master page.
