How can I change the navigation between filliable fields

New Here ,

We have created a fillable form and when you tab through the fields many times the cursor skips several fields that need data.  I need to have the "tab" move the cursor to the next field in line.

You probably just need to change the tab order, assuming the fields that are being skipped are not set to read-only. If you're using a recent version of Acrobat, you change the tab order by arranging the field names in Fields panel while in form editing mode. You can also set it to "Order Tabs by Row", "Order Tabs by Column", or "Order Tabs by Structure".

It is also possible to use "unspecified", "custom", and "manually". You can also show the tab order number in the upper left corner of the field and change those numbers to change the tab order
