Is there a easy way to move form fields when working with around 400 fields its more excel looking than anything. Should I separate the 8 pages to individuals and the merge after. What I cant seem to get over is the long list of field names when moving one at a time what seems half mile up the screen.
Thanks for your time

Re: Move form field tabbing order
Which Acrobat version are you using?
Separating the pages may or may not help, as the tab order is limited to a single page anyway.
Are you using hierarchical field names?

Thanks for this Max
Acrobat 9 on OSX. What the previous operator did was, run auto field detection with (row detection??? not 100% on this) anyway it dose a reasonable job but when it goes wrong or it's abilities are stretched, it is a real nightmare to reorder with acrobat as the box standard tool.
I am thinking about reworking the ID file so the large tables are broken up. Hoping acrobat will make distinctions between what is 12 rows with 4 columns making 48 cells, but I having many of these tables butting up against each other. It looks like a spreadsheet. not my design or idea of easy information extraction but its the form I am working on. if the tables are split will acrobat make distinctions can I build individual page elements and build one pdf from them????
Thanks again
Take care
