TouchUp Reading Order

When I use the TouchUp Reading Order panel to set my reading order for a form, it often times jumbles items above what I am adjusting. This is extremely frustrating and time consuming. Does anyone know of a solution or alternative way of going about this?
 
Thanks,

Make sure you start with a tagged PDF document and be sure to use those original authoring programs that support creating accessible doocuments before converting to PDF. Use the Full Check option for checking accessibility (Advanced > Accessibility > Full Check) and look over the How To pane for reported problems. You'll want to fix any problems before using the Reading Order panel.If creating accessible forms, you might also look at the tab order of your fields and set the order using the Pages panel properties.
