Acrobat Multi-page Form - Is it possible to SKIP FIELDS (not just move them to the end of the page)

[LGN__]

I have a 6-page form (Employee Evaluation), In order to make the form as "uniform" as possible, I have created the entire form as text fields.  This allows uniformity of fonts and makes editing/updating easier over the long run.  The field titles are text fields set to read-only with default values. Ex: 

"Employee Name:"  is a read-only text field with default value set to "Employee Name:"

When tabbing through the form (page 1), I can set the tab order to go to the actual text fields in the proper order, the read-only field titles are at the end.  Normally this is fine but tabbing through the last field on page 1 still tabs into the read-only fields, instead of advancing to page 2.

I do it this way because the "Text Plane" is not the same as the "Field Plane", so to speak.

Is there a way to disallow the tabbing into read-only fields?

Fields set to read only should already get skipped when tabbing.  If not, you can enter the following On Focus script in the read only fields:

this.getField("Next Field").setFocus();

Replace Next Field with the name of the next field you want it to tab to next.

Thanks.  Maybe it tabs differently in Reader but in Pro DC and Standard DC it tabs the read-only fields, without letting you change the contents.

This is a bug that has persisted for several months and has still not been corrected, see this topic:

Try setting the fields as hidden, instead of read-only.
