<p>Hi,<br>
I have been pounding on this for 3 days already, trying to get the positions figured out</p>
<p>I am created an added pdf page with only 2 fields and a page break.<br>
Page break is set to break after 3<br>
( i have 6 submission of data) what i should be getting is 2 pages. 3 per page</p>
<p>If my first field is set to "field self" the second page data is on top of page 1<br>
and if i set the first field to "last writing position" the data is populated correctly, 3 on one page and 3 on the other, BUT the margins are off.</p>
<p>the 2nd page continues with the margins from the first page. if i print them out and overlay them i can see that the position on the 2nd page continues after the first page. This would make sense because "last writing position" shouldn't work for the first field. </p>
<p>But if i make the first field anything but " last wp" it doesn't work</p>
<p>i searched the entire forum and read everything and tried everything. </p>
<p>please help</p>
