PDF that has blocks to fill in dates, how do you get to the next box?

I have a  pdf form that has separate blocks to enter the date. How do I get to the next block?  I can type in the first one, but it won't let me tab or click on the next block.

The type of field you are describing is called a "Comb" field. Before version 6 there was no option for field that could take the entire string of data in at once and then display that data with each character within a box.

Have you tried to enter the entire field data as one string?

It might be possible the designer did not correctly create the form field.

Can you provide a link to a sample of the form you are trying to fill-in?
