Setting Tab Order in 2 page form does not work using Adobe Acrobat Pro

I thought I had posted this already, but it disappeared as soon as I selected the "Post" button at the bottom of my screen. Anyhow, no matter what I attempt to do, I cannot get my form tab order to work. It always only tabs through my form by row and not the defined order I have set up. I even turned off "Automatically adjust tab order when modifying fields" option under the Forms section of the Preferences dialogue box. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, SS

It won't help you much right now but if I believe your video the problem is not with Acrobat Pro, it is with Adobe Acrobat Sign.

Their names and usage are confusing but they are not the same software.

Do you want me to transfer this topic there or do you want to open a new topic yourself?

Good morning,

Were you able to help me find a solution to this problem? Just curious. I have moved on and set this form up to tab by row for now, but really would like to know if there is any kind of work around that will make this work. Looks like after a little research it has been an issue for quite some time.

Be sure to "Order Tabs Manually":

I have the "Order Tabs Manually" option checked. This file is only recognizing the tab order by row as you will see in the video I'm attaching to the first person's response here to my question.
