Sligtly changed the script. It now looks at the start of the form filed name for the sort number. "n,button 1" "n,Text Field 4" The 'n' is the order number. It would be nice to sort the tab order by z order which eliminate the need to number the fields. Still no error checking. Back up your work before using this code.   //DESCRIPTION: Form Field order. //kerntiff.co.uk   #targetengine "FormFieldOrder";   main (); function main () { if ( app.documents.length <= 0 ) return;       var formFields = [];   formFields = app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage.tabOrder;   formFields.sort ( function ( a, b ) { var aN = Number ( a.name.split ( ",")[0] ); var bN = Number ( b.name.split ( ",")[0] ); if ( aN < bN ) return ( -1 ); if ( aN > bN ) return ( 1 ); return ( 0 ); });   app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage.tabOrder = formFields;   } ...

Hello,   I have a script ( very early dev stage ) that re-orders the tab order by looking at the name of the form field. The name of the form field should end with the order of the field, like this, button 1 ,3. the 3 indicates that the button is the third tab item.   PM me for more details.   P.    Edited... Here is the script.  Always backup your work. ======== //DESCRIPTION: Form Field order. //kerntiff.co.uk   #targetengine "FormFieldOrder";   main (); function main () { if ( app.documents.length <= 0 ) return;       var formFields = [];     formFields = formFields.concat ( app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage.formFields.everyItem().getElements() );   formFields.sort ( function ( a, b ) { var aN = Number ( a.name.split ( ",")[1] ); var bN = Number ( b.name.split ( ",")[1] ); if ( aN < bN ) return ( -1 ); if ( aN > bN ) return ( 1 ); return ( 0 ); });   app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].activePage.tabOrder = formFields;   } ...

Hello,   Thank you for your reply.   I am limited in the types of annotation I can use from InDesign. So, I would like to write an Acrobat plugin.
