PDF Form was created by me on one computer but I'm not able to edit the form on my home computer.
I have to recreate the entire form on my home computer. Am I missing something?
(Work computer is an Acrobat Standard Account on a Windows 7 Machine & Home computer is my Acrobat Pro Account on a OSX 10.11 iMac.)
Thank you in advance.

What happens when you change the form?

@Bernd Alheit - I lose the desired naming scheme and tab order of the text, check box, etc. fields. I pretty much have to start over.
gkaiseril​ - I don't know that i did either. I simply created the form, adjusted the fields I needed to, saved the pdf, and sent myself the saved pdf. Should I have distributed or added extended reader rights?

Distributing and applying Extended Reader Rights set the PDF for only filling in the form fields and prevent editiong.
Emailing forms can have a lot of issues. It is better to transfer the PDF using a cloud service over the web..

When you add form fields you must check the tab order again.

And make sure you disable the option to adjust the tab order when modifying fields, under Edit - Preferences - Forms.

Did you distribute or add Extended Reader Rights to the form?
We are assuming you have Acrobat on both computers and used Acrobat to create the form.
