Issues with Tagging

Question

I've created many forms, so I know the process. I would anchor the form field to the Text and then in Articles, I would "use for tagging order". But once Export to Interactive PDF, all of the form fields are somehow not tagged and the order seems to be all over the place! Is there some kind of glitch? Do I need to restart my Adobe Acrobat? Or is there another way I can fix this? The form is 3 pages long with a lot of form fields...I don't want to have to start over!

So you are creating a form in Adobe InDesign and exporting to PDF.

When you say out of Order are you talking about the TAG order or the Order Panel?

The Order Panel is controlled by the Layer order of your document.

The Tag order is controled by the Articles panel.

You are adding all the form field properties to each field, right?

Also, make sure when you export using interactive PDF that you also have checked the option for tagged PDF and Tab Order.

When you go to Prepare Form, do you see the form fields there? In the list?
