I am updating the base PDFs on some forms which we have, after I have updated and saved these when I go back in to check the forms tab order they have changed.
 
Is there any reason for this, since adobe have changed the way you order tabs this is not the easiest to get back to the original, does anybody know if adobe will introduce the older way of ordering the tabs just by clicking on fields in the order that you require them.
 
thanks

It's a known bug, one that's been around since Acrobat 9 was introduced. I agree that it's exceedingly annoying and that the old way of setting the tab order is by far preferable in most cases. I strongly urge you to post both a bug report as well as a feature request so that some day this will get fixed and maybe even have the better way of setting the tab order restored.

You can do both here: Bug Report and Feature Request formand here:

Adobe Acrobat Feature Request Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_feature_requestPlease do both or this may not get changed.
