PDF attached... Initital fields created using Acrobat 8.2. I reset the /Tabs to /R on each page in itext... Opening the document back in Acrobat shows tab order by row... but it is still on Annots. Also, I'm taking that once I set the tab order to row and if I read the fields back in itext the fields be in the row order... but that is not the case either.
