I am using Adobe Life Cycle Designer 8. I created a form with mulitple pages and multiple fields on each page. I am setting the Tab order and there are certain fields I do not want to include in the Tab order like the print button field. Is there a way when setting the Tab order to skip over or remove fields from the Tab order? I do not have any programming skills so I need a solution I can do in the existing program. Thank you for your help.

Hi davidnat,

Here is how you manually set the tabbing order with a mouse in Designer:

1. View > Tab Order.
2. Select your first field (the other fields will be automatically renumbered).
3. To continue editing the tabbing order, click the rest of the fields to establish the desired sequence.
4. Select View > Tab Order to return to normal design mode.Hope this helps,
Lori

I've a similar problem. I have a "print button" on my form. I'd like the button skipped over when a user tabs through the form but I'd like the user to be able to click the button when they're ready to print the form.

I used this: this.access = "protected"; in the initiate event. That prevented a user from tabbing on the button but it also prevented the user from clicking on the button.

I've the same request regarding buttons to add and remove rows on a table.

Lastly; any good books covering PDF javascript?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
