Hi all,

My task:
System generate a PDF from a template, where system fill in the field with user's input.
My question is: Is any plug-ins support inserting a dynamic no. of row of a section? For example, there should be 4 rows shown in the output if there are 4 inputs.
Attached is the sample for reference.

For conditional multiple row content, you could have one field in a PDF template document, and then supply an expression rule as the input from in process. The expression rule should return a variable number of rows depending on the inputs to the rule. You can use char(13) as necessary to introduce carriage returns (new rows). So the expression rule may look something like:

concat(
if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!var1), "", ri!var1 & char(13)),
if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!var2), "", ri!var2 & char(13))
)

Thanks Eduardo, I will take a look on that plug-in.

@jackm829. Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, it could not apply to my case, there is a static section follow this dynamic section, part of the input cannot be displayed in my testing case. Please refer to the attached.
