Set tab order in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

We are trying to set the Tab order on a form using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but we cannot set a tab from page 1 to page 2 of the form.  We could do it in Adobe Pro 11.  Did we lose this functionality in DC???

The tab order is set per page. Once you reach the last in the tab order on a single page, you can tab to the first in the order on the next page. You can't define a tab order that goes back and forth between pages. I'm unsure if this was possible in XI, but is certainly is not possible in DC.

However, you can built a work-around for this. You could add a custom event to change the focus to another field when exiting a field.

To do this, set an "On Blur" action for the field you would tab out of. Select "Run a JavaScript" and add the following JavaScript:

this.getField("FieldName").setFocus();

Use the name of the field you want to tab to instead of "FieldName" in the example (you need to keep the quotation marks).

Now when you tab out of that field, the code will switch the focus to the other field. Keep in mind that this doesn't change your actual tab order!

Thanks for the info.  That does work....but here's what we have:  We have a 3 page document with a "Print" button on Page 1 which but our SOP has to be located on Page 1.  But, we want it be the last tab after filling out the document.  So, given your Javascript I was able to get the tab set as the last field, so now is there a way to skip tabbing to that "Print" field in the normal tab sequence???  Hopefully that makes sense.

You can add a similar JavaScript to the field in the tab order before the print button and have it redirect to the field in the tab order after the print button. That way you effectively skip the print button in the tab order.

If this satisfies your question, please mark your question as answered and any helpful posts as helpful.
