Does anyone have a sure fire way to fix the tabbing order in a multi page form created in LiveCycle 8. Tab seems to skip between pages at will no matter how I try to specify the tab order.

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

You can try searching through the xml source for the following tags and removing them:
<traversal><traverse operation="first" ref="field.reference"/></traversal>

We have noticed some mysterious spontaneous changes in the tab order of the forms we are creating under LiveCycle Designer Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496. The original documents are PDF's, which we import into Designer and edit for Accessibility. We change the tab order, save a new .xdp, and save a .pdf. That PDF is then extended in Acrobat 9 Pro, and read in Reader. And the tabbing order is fine. Then SOMETIMES, when we reopen the .xdp for further editing, groups of tabs have mysteriously changed. These tab groups of 5-20 tabs have been assigned tabs from the end of the page, which is usually somewhere between 200 and 450 (yes, lots of tabs!). I am running on Windows XP.


Has anyone experienced this oddity?

Ya, tab order still sucks at times.

If you group things in subforms it can help a bit.
