I am running Acrobat 8.0 on XP. I would like to learn how to do 2 things. I have placed form fields on a form. I would like to manually change the tab order settings. How is this done? The "Page Properties" does not seem to offer the options or solution I am seeking.
Second question. I have set-up a combo box form field in one pdf file. I would like to copy or duplicate that field to be used in a separate pdf file, because it is too time consuming to recreate the field manually. Is this possible? If so, how?
To manually set the field tab order, click the Select Object Tool so all fields are displayed in design mode then go to menu item Forms ->Edit Forms ->Set Tab Order. You will see all fields have a number in the upper left corner- this is the current tab order. A single click on each field will give it a new number starting with 1. Click on each additional field to get the tab order you want.You can copy your combobox from one PDF to another by selecing it, right click and choose Copy, open the new PDF, Right Click on a field and choose Paste.
Hope that helps,
Dimitri
