When you select
a subform, the Subform tab in the Object palette displays several
formatting options.
Source File
Sets the source file for the fragment reference.
This property is visible only when the selected object is a fragment
reference.
Fragment Name
Sets the name of the fragment. You can click the
Frag Info button
to
view the fragment information.
This property is visible when
a fragment reference or a fragment that is defined in a source file
is selected. When the selected object is a fragment reference, this property
does not appear if the source file is not specified. The Fragment
Name list includes all the fragments in the specified source file.
The Custom option directly supports setting a SOM expression or
an ID value as the fragment reference and supports the implementation
in the XML Forms Architecture.
Content
Sets
positioned or flowed subform content.
-
Positioned
-
Positions the objects in the subform according to their individual
X and Y coordinates.
-
Flowed
-
Positions the objects in the subform during the data-merging
process so that no objects are rendered on top of each other.
Flow Direction
Sets a flow direction for flowed objects:
-
Top to Bottom
-
Lays down the objects one beneath the other.
-
Western Text
-
Lays down the objects from left to right, and when the objects wrap
at the right edge of the subform, continue laying down objects one
object down from left to right.
-
Right to Left

Sets the default tabbing order and data-fill order starting
from the right of the page and moving to the left of the page.

This option is unavailable unless the Flowed option
is selected in the Content list.

and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence
setting for all objects.

when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space
in the form layout.
