I have created a form with over 100 fields, some of them calculated. I want to set the Tab Order. I went to Create > Form and got the right hand pane. I clicked on the Fields dropdown and chose "Order Tabs Manually" and "Show Tab Numbers." I got the correct pop up saying to order Tabs Manually and then drag and drop field names in the Fields Pane. I do not seem to be able to order the tabs and I do not see a Field Pane. What am I missing?
Appears to be a duplicate post of Tab Order and Fields Pane in Acrobat Pro DC.
You have to be in the Edit mode not preview.
I have the field names in tab order and only have to highlight the name in the right hang panel. Now I can highlight the field name, hold down the left mouse button and drag the field name to the desired order.
Open the Tab Order for manual:
Highlight field name to move:
Move the field:
Note the number change.
This can only be done on a form that has had no special distribution actions, rights extended to it, no passwords applied, and no special setting like PDF/A..
