Hi guys,

I am creating a form where in each box you write one letter (see the picture please to understand what I mean, difficult to explain). It is made in word, and I made PDF of it after.

I limited each text box to 1 letter, and would like that when I write a letter in one box the cursor automaaticly jumps to the next box instead of pressing tab each time.

Is this actualy possible, anybody done that before.

Hope that somebody have a solution.
Thank you so much in advance.

Ivan C

Your fields are formatted in the "Comb" file style. The easiest way to deal with this is to use the field "Comb of ___ characters". Other wise you need to use some custom JavaScripting including a document level function, [url=http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=javascript_setfocus_method_f&gid=6267]JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field[/url] You will have to download the linked PDF form and examine it to obtain the necessary code.
