Textbox / Textarea input validation

Q: How to handle situation when string entered/populated into textbox / textarea (Example: Special Instructions) above does not fit into the correspondent space on pdf?

A: In this case (as on any pdf) for each single or multiline textbox/textarea there must be a max number of characters/lines determined and:

• displayed (next to the label) (example: "max 70 chars on one line, max 4 lines")
• validator must be added that "prevents user from entering more" OR "displays pop-up indicating that max reached". Any other alternative ideas?

Pdf template(zul form) layout and size

• Must mimic layout on pdf
• Size of textboxes must reflect space on pdf

[com] Commodity table section

Look and Feel

[com1] (on pdf) unit of measurement that appears to the right of the number (example: 20CBM) must be printed only on the "Total:" line

[com2] (on pdf) comtable needs vertical lines but not horizontal lines

[com3] (on pdf) comtable needs lines around it - it must be "in the box"

Common bugs:

• combug1// CBM, not CB //
• combug2// PCS, not HU (table header) //
• combug3// "TOTAL:", NOT "TOTALS:" //

Functionality

1] Totals for multipage:

Q: In case table is split between multiple pages, do we need to print totals line on each page or only on last page? A: Only on last page.
