How to set Tab order manually in Adobe Acrobat DC

[sumitha_Ravindra]

Hello Friends,

Can any anyone provide solution for setting the tab orders for any files/form fields in Adobe Acrobat Dc,

The Adobe Acrobat DC has the function to set the tab order manually - but it is only by drag and drop fields, which is not correct.

Adobe 5 and adobe 9 writer versions had it correct without dragging fields to set the tab orders.

Is there any functionality same like adobe 5 and 9 which eases the Tab order setting?

Waiting for the suggestions.

Thanks,

Sumitha

With Acrobat 9 you still have to drag a field in the list. I still keep Acrobat 7 available and use it when I need to speed up the process. Acrobat 11 and DC at least allow you to drag multiple fields at once, but there's a bug that results in the wrong order being set. I haven't checked to see if they've fixed it with an update.
