Hi creating a form in Indesign and when exported to interactive pdf form want the cursor to move to next box after filled in, for example I fill in name and press return and it moves to next box. At the moment it only happens on tab. Is there a way on return? Thanks

To do that you would need to set the fields as Multiline, then use a script to "trap" the Enter key being pressed and set the focus to the next field. You'll have to hard-code the next field's name in each instance, though.

Thank you, so there is no button to do this, can't believe something that should be simple has to be hard coded. Thanks again
