Header subform appearing on previous page

| No Comments

Depending on your renderer version you might run into an issue where a page header is being bumped back to the bottom of the previous page. This is a known issue with version 2.6 of the XFA specification which was fixed in version 2.7. The tricky part is there's no Target Version for version 2.7. If you aren't familiar with Target Version, click on File then open Form Properties and check the Defaults tab.

The easiest solution is simply setting your Target Version to Acro/Reader 9.0 (which uses XFA version 2.8), but this will cause problems for people still running Reader 8.

We did some digging and found an easy way to trick the form into using XFA 2.7 to render the form. Open the XML view of the document and find the following line:

<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.6/?>

And change it to this:

<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.6/ v2.7-layout:0?>

After that you'll want to make sure Keep With is set to Next in the headers pagination settings.
