remove checkboxes from form fields tabbing

[mhollopeter]

I have an interactive PDF with form fields and checkboxes. I want to remove the checkboxes when tabbing through the form fields, but I want them to remain checkboxes. When I remove the checkboxes through Accessibilty > Identify Form Fields, the checkboxes are no longer interactive.

The only way to exclude a form field, checkbox or other, from the tab order is to make it read-only.

Thank you. I've tried both suggestions, but then the checkboxes are inactive for the end-user. 

I've done research that suggests a JavaScript, but I haven't been able to figure that out yet. I might just have to live with it.
