Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout

In the previous tutorial, you created a purchase order form that has a fixed layout for users to fill electronically and then print. Now you will rework the form to have a flowable layout. A flowable layout means that the form will adjust to accommodate data so that it displays all the orders that one of your clients requested.

In this tutorial, the form design presents information from a data source. The resulting form is a non-interactive form that you can print or store electronically.

When you finish working through this tutorial, the form you create will look like this purchase order form merged with data.

To complete this tutorial, you need a schema and a data file. You can use those that come with LiveCycle Workbench ES if you have installed the samples. The schema and data file are in the following location, by default:

•	\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Schema\Schema\Purchase Order.xsd

•	\EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Schema\Data\Purchase Order.xml
