Hi,

need hint or help for generating a PDF, ready for printing on 7 x 3 label (3 columns and 7 rows) like Avery 3652. My XML contain all elements in equal nodes. I tried a solution using 3 columns (page properties -> page layout) but that means I'm getting the first 7 labes in the first column, label 8 to 13 on the second column and so on. But I want the first three elements in the first row continueing the 4th element in the second row and so on.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

You could implement this with a dynamic table which has fix amount of columns - 3 in your case.

You must make sure that this table gets a new row for 1st, 4th, 7th etc elements - this can be done with a user-defined template based on position function:

Row[position() mod 3 = 1]

Next you need to supply every column with data from the current row, next row and next-next row. This can be done with user-defined templates based on following-sibling predicate

following-sibling::Row[1]

Here is the input file, whole design and its output.
