    Printing Repeating Sections or Tables on Copies of Form

    I currently have a paper-only form that I am trying to get into a fillable format in InfoPath 2010 for a client. The issue I am having is trying to get repeating tables/sections to work and stay within the requirements of the form.

    Essentially, the form is information about a person - bio, job/work related information. The printed form has a table for one car and one job, but the person could have multiple of each. The printed form (form that will come out of InfoPath) HAS to be ONE page, regardless of how many jobs or cars.

    For example, say a person has three jobs and two cars: The printed form can only show one of each, so in some way, we need to print out three copies of these forms showing each job and each car.

    In this example, these could be the print-outs:
    Copy 1: Job A, Car A
    Copy 2: Job B, Car A
    Copy 3: Job C, Car B

    It doesn't matter which order the jobs or cars are in, it's just required that all are on at least one printed form. So, since the printed form has to be one page, I'm having difficulty finding a way to only print out one of each record on the page, but also including all records in the end. Does that make sense?

    thank you

    Hi:

    Printing isn't InfoPath's strong point.

    It sounds like you need to have a page break after each instance of your repeating table? A certain amount will depend on your data structure, but here is a link that may help you.
