Question

Slow template form

Hello Community.

I have created the attached form. Here you can spawn additional pages using the three grey buttons at the bottom of the first page. There are three hidden templates.

Spawning an new page with one of the three grey buttons, takes too long time until the page is available.

Second problem is, that the page number is not displayed correctly. Third problem is, that switching language does not work on the spawned pages.

Editing the form in acrobat, with all templates are visible, problem 2 and 3 are working correctly.

Can someone help me?

Thanks ind advance.

Hello,

at the top is my pdf file appended.

On the first page is a drop down to select the language. It works with the first page and in Acrobat Pro with all visible templates. But at runtime, after spawning a additional page, the language will be switched only at the first page. The spawned page keeps german language.

After spawning the page you can execute this.calculateNow()

Suspend the calculation:

 

var expTplt = getTemplate('Template1'); 
this.calculate = false;
expTplt.spawn(numPages,true,false); 
this.calculate = true;

 

May be better when you use layers for the languages.

Thanks.

The tip works for the slow spawning pages.

Unfortunately there is still the problem that the page numbers are not correct and the language switching does not work.

Where does you set the page numbers?
