Defining the tabbing order
In the Pages tab, you can set the order in which a user tabs through form fields, links, and
comments for each page.
To set the tabbing order for form fields, links, and comments:
1. Click the Pages tab in the navigation pane.
2. Select a page thumbnail, and choose Page Properties from the Options menu.
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 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 authoring application.
If the document was created in an earlier version of Acrobat, the tab order is Unspecified
by default. With this setting, form fields are tabbed through first, followed by links and
comments ordered by row.
