Hi,

I've created a dynamic form in LCD 8.0. I've got a number of expandable text fields that work as I want them to and additional pages are added if the amount of text entered by the user is significant.

There are 3 pages at current, all portrait and this can expand to 4, 5, 6 or more pages as necessary. I want to add a page that is landscape, this page must always be the last page and I only want it to occur once.

How do I do this?

Hi,

this is very tricky to handle.
You will have to create two masterpages.
One for portrait and one for landscape.
In the pagination tab you have to configure the min/max count for the landscape masterpage with the value 1.
then you create 2 pages.
The first one is for all instances of the portait format, the other one for landscape.
In the pagination tab you the assign the masterpages.... puh!

Well this isn't easy to explain, so I added an example.

Hi,

Can you tell me which content you expect to see on the last landscape page? Is it overflowing content of the expandable text fields or separate content?

Thanks

Hélène

It's separate content I want to see.

Great - radzmar form is a good example for your use case.

I would like to add that if you plan to display static content on the landscape page, you can define the content directly on the landscape master page. You don't need the body page named 'LastPage'.

Good luck
Hélène
