You can use the Page Properteries and set the Tab Order to Row or Column. After choosing one of the orders, reopen the Page Proiperties dialog box and click Unspecified. Select Forms > Edit Form in Acrobat. Click the Select Object tool and select Forms > Edit Fields > Set Tab Order.You can then manually change field order for those fields not falling into the tab order defined by the row or column order. To manually change an order find the field preceding the field you want to change. Ctrl/Option click the field. Then click on the field you want to follow the one you clicked.

Where do I find Set Tab Order download for Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional? Recently computer crashed. Set Tab Order update feature was lost. In 2003/4 an update was made available for easy use of set tab order. I remember something about PlanetPDF
