I did that already. If you don't specify tab order through the /Tabs key, the default behavior is to use annotation order. But there's a bug when document structure is present. Without the /Tabs key, it always behaves as if you'd specified structure. If you have field1 field2 in one row, 'Row Order' works fine, but if you have Line1) field1, field2 Line2) field3, field4 in one row it won't work Thanks, Nato -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Miller, James Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 12:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PDF-Basics] How do I set the tab order when creating a PDF using Acrobat 6? PDF-Basics is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Nato, I'm not sure if this answers the question, but here goes. Straight from Acrobat 6 help files. Defining the tabbing order. You can set the order in which a user tabs through form fields, annotations, and links, for each page. To set the tabbing order for links, form fields, and annotations: 1. Click the Pages tab in the navigation pane. 2. Do one of the following: * Select a page thumbnail, and choose Page Properties from the Options menu. * Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a page thumbnail, and choose Page Properties. 3. In the Page Properties dialog box, click Tab Order, and select the tab order: * To tab through rows from left to right, or right-to-left for pages with a right-to-left binding, select Use Row Order. * To tab through columns from left to right and from top to bottom, or right-to-left for pages with a right-to-left binding, select Use Column Order. * To tab in the order specified by the structure tree created by the PDF authoring application, select Use Document Structure. Note: For structured documents, it's best to select the Use Document Structure option to match the intention of the PDF authoring application. * If the document was created in an earlier version of Acrobat, the tab order will be Unspecified by default. With this setting, form fields are tabbed through first, followed by annotations ordered by row. __________________________________________________________________ Hi to all, I'm working in a form with about 200 fields. I've been trying to add tab index; however, 6.0 doesn't have the feature as 5.0 where I was able to add the tab order explicitly. I found an answer related to my question. Mark Storer recommends to put the fields into the page's annotation array in tab order. My question is how do I put the fields into the page's annotation array in tab order?
