Acrobat tabbing issue.

[untitledworks74]

I'm having an issue with my Acrobat document tabbing in the correct order. In the edit view the fields are listed and numbered in the correct order. When I preview, the tabs are not in the correct order. is this a glitch or something I'm doing wrong?

CORRECTION... In the edit and preview section the feilds work in the correct tab order. When I send to document to be filled out the tabbing order is incorrect.

Can you explain "When I send to document ..." ?

Oops, typo. "When I send the document"

This is was the manual says...

I followed it but it didn't work.

What application is used to open the file after you send it?

[untitledworks74]

The document is sent from Acrobat Pro to the recipients email using "Send for Signature". In the email there is a link to click to open the document and fill it out and sign at the bottom. Clicking that link opens up the recipients default web browser. I've sent several test documents to myself and opened the link using the following web browsers...

Firefox

Safari

Google Chrome

All have the same result. The tab sequence is out of order and not the way I have them numbered.

Like I said above, while adding text fields to my PDF document the order is correct. When I preview before sending the order is correct. However once the document is received the tab sequence is not in the correct order.

All of these browsers have an internal PDF viewer plugin which often doesn't work correctly, especially when it comes to form fields.
Try saving the file locally and then opening it directly in Reader/Acrobat. Does it work correctly then? If so, the problem is with the browser plugins.

Thanks try67, It dose work correctly within Acrobat. I think my solution is that I'll need to recreate the document in one column so the browsers won't have a difficult time understanding it.
