Lists and Tables
hello everyone,
I am trying to create a form in pdf format in the following way:-
1. Name 2. SSN
___________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________
Family or Surname First Middle Maiden
3. Permanent Address and Telephone
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Number & Street Apt No. City
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
State Postal Code Country Telephone Number
..
..

..
i am wondering what would be the best possible way to design do i have to use tables?Or is it possible to create this thru lists?or maybe i could use lists within the table cell and lists are supported under tables?
Please help.thanks in advance

Due to the non symmetrical layout of the form, I would just layout every
thing in <fo:block>
statements where Name / SSN is one block and Family....Maiden is
another. If you could
move the SSN to a separate line, then you could avoid a calculation on
how to
break the leader and align it with SSN. Then all leaders could just be
width="100%"
If you went the way of tables then use a smaller column size and use the
columns-spanned
attribute to push things around..
