How to stop Tab (on its own) from moving, in a document, from the current page of a pdf file in Acrobat Pro?

I have no idea, where on a pdf file page, any of what you ask me to find, resides.

Where is the tab order for example?

This is a typical page that I work from. This file has been converted from a docx file as there are too many issues with Word.

I use the Tab & Alt keys to change windows to the file that I am updating. It is annoying if I hit the Tab key before the Alt Key.

If you're talking about disabling the tabbing functionality entirely, that's not possible.

Can you tell me its purpose? It does not seem to have any value. Also, there does not seem to be a key stroke to take you back to where you were like normal tabbing.

Go to the last field in the tab order on that page and as under On Blur event enter the following code:

this.getField("Name of first field on page").setFocus();
