How do I set my tabs in a fillable pdf form to skip some text fields? I don't want my tab to stop at every text field.

You can't exclude fields from the tab order (unless you set them as hidden or read-only).

The only way you can do something like that is if you use a script to automatically change the focus to the next field in the list when the field loses focus. You can use something like this as the On Blur script of the last field on the page:

this.getField("Name of next field").setFocus();
