Custom tab order Acrobat Pro 8.0

I just switched from Acrobat Pro 7.0 to 8.0 and I'm already lost. I have forms that have a hundred form fields on each page, and I need to set them to tab in a specific order. When I used Pro 7.0 it was a simple matter to skip any form field which did not need to be re-numbered and ctrl-click when I wanted to specify tab order. So for example if the first 50 form fields are tabbing in correct order, I could start correcting the tabbing order starting with form field #50 and keep going from there.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this using Pro 8.0. For example, if I ctrl-click on form field #4 and then click on the next field, the next field does become form field #5 BUT form field #4 then becomes form field #3. So that's really confusing. I've tried every combination of ctrl, shift and alt clicking, and gotten some very interesting results, but this is not getting my job done any faster, so if anyone knows an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

I thought I already posted a reply to this but I guess it was lost when the forums got updated.
Anyway, I fixed my issue - all it took was updating the Acrobat program. Click on Help and click on Check For Updates.
By the way, you will need the installation disk to do the update, and if you don't have the disk, the update will screw you. This was bad for me, since our IT dept has all our disks. So IT had a fun two days with my computer, calling up Adobe and trying to get my program back.

Learn how to set the tab order in a PDF form using Acrobat X Std. or Pro. to improve the appearance of your PDF form and also make it easier for users to use.

Well, most users want custom tab orders. To do that...
Go to Menu Forms --> Add or Edit Fields...
If necessary, make sure the left-side bar opens up to the form fields listing.
There's a dropdown menu at the top of this sidebar that says "Tab Order"
Click it and select "Order Tabs Manually"
Then drag and drop the tabs sequentially in the list in the sidebar. When you close Form Editing & test, you should be able to tab through in your new order.

Trying to install Acrobat Pro XI on Windows 2008R2 VM

Our desktop guys ordered Acrobat Pro XI for some 32-bit Windows 7 VM's.
We also have some server applications running 64-bit Windows 2008R2 that need it and I'm attempting to create a silent install for. I used the customization wizard provided by Adobe and when I attempt to run the command line msi installation, my 64-bit Windows 2008R2 VM blue screens and reboots.
After I bring the VM back up and attempt to run Acrobat, I get the error message "Please uninstall and reinstall the product .. . . Error 1". Not real informative, so not sure where to go from here.
The desktop guys sent me the media and gave me a license key.
Question 1: Do I need a 64-bit version of Acrobat Pro?
Question 2: Will a desktop license suffice on a server?
Question 3: I have 7 servers that require this installation, do I need a different key for each?
Question 4: Do I really need to license each one via the internet?
Please help!!
Thanks
Mike

You actually need more answers than you asking for. . . . That is to say you should start with the Admin Guide: Acrobat-Reader Enterprise Toolkit Home.
You probably need a volume license. Read up on the server doc, look up the right EULA for virtualized environments, and read the section on granting offline exceptions/serialization/installation. Check out the Wizard Guide as well.
Error 1 doesn't sound like an Acrobat error, but it could be. Make sure you have a clean uninstall before retrying. There's a cleaner tool on LABs.
32 Bit is ok.

Valid Acrobat Pro XI still requires activation after 30 days

I already asked a similar question in a different sub-forum, but i was recommended to make a new thread here.
The problem is this:
We need to deploy Acrobat Pro XI to computers that are 100 offline. We used the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to make a customized install for Acrobat Pro XI. We entered the serial number and used the "Grant Offline Exception" button on a computer with Internet access, which worked fine. The ISX_SERIALNUMBER property is successfully added to the mst.
Adobe Support has earlier told me that all that is needed for offline activation to work is to have the ISX_SERIALNUMBER set in the mst. Still, Acrobat complains after 30 days that it needs to be activated. Is there some other magic that the "Grant Offline Exception" button does to the installation package that i need to be aware of?
The way the installation is run is:
we run setup.exe
setup.exe (i assume?) uses setup.ini
setup.ini contains:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows XP
RequireMSI=3.1
RequireIE=7.0.0000.0
Require64BitVC10RT=1
CmdLine=/sl"1044" /sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroPro.msi
vcrtMsi=vc_red.msi
vcrtDir=VC10RT_x64
Languages=1033;1044
1033=English (United States)
1044=Norwegian (Bokmal)
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst"
[Windows XP]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
ServicePackMajor=3
[MSI Updater]
Path=WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
So the bottom line is that i would like to know if this way of running the installation is correct, and also exactly what the "Grant Offline Exception" button does.
Thank you

Thanks for replying.
We are not ghosting the installation, it's a normal installation using the standard files from Adobe.
The installation process is as i described above.
I tried using the wizard again now, granting the offline exception with it, and saving it as an mst. According to point 4.2.7.1 in 4 Installation Workflows — Enterprise Administration Guide, this should occur: "The Wizard validates the serial number and saves the exception inside the MST."
I can not for the life of me see any references in the mst that an offline exception exists. PRESERIALIZATIONFILEPATH is not mentioned in the property table or anywhere else in the mst either.
All further help (if possible) will be much appreciated!

Acrobat Pro 11 for Citrix Server

I'd like to order Acrobat Pro v. 11 licenses, the software needs to be installed on a Citirx Server that is 64 Bit versions of Windows 2008 (SP2 Servers) / Citrix/XenApp Version 5.0.
Please advise what version to purchase for the Citrix Server.
Thanks

It needs to be a VOLUME license and you need to contact Adobe Sales about that type of licensing.

How to set tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro

I cannot find any instructions for manually setting tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro. It does not work the same as earlier versions of Acrobat Pro. Any idea as to where I can go for instructions for X Pro?

Thank you for the quick response! I found instructions for the Pro 9 version, so followed that and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again for your help.

About setting tab order in Acrobat Pro X

I'm really disappointed in the way you changed how I set tab order in Acrobat Pro X. I work with a lot of forms with multiple fields. Some of these forms have up to 100 different fields on one page that need to be in the order I set. In previous versions, I could set this order simply by clicking on the fields in the correct order I want. But with X, I have to drag each field one by one into the correct order. When you have a bunch of fields to set, this is tedious. And, when I click on a field to edit content, more times than not, it changes the tab order, and I'm back to finding it in the panel and dragging it back to it's correct place. This is time consuming. Not to mention when there are more fields than the monitor's height, the fields are scrolled in the panel.
So, please do something to give me the option to set tab order like in previous versions, and once they are set, leave them where they are. Or am I doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, it really sucks. But things are improved significantly with Acrobat 11. First, there's a preference setting that prevents the automatic reordering that can happen when fields are moved/edited. Second, you are able to select and move multiple fields at a time in the fields panel, which can speed things up considerably. It's still not as efficient as the old method, but at least it has finally been addressed. I think this feature alone is worth the upgrade price for the amount of time it will save and the beneficial effects on stress, blood pressure, and hair loss.

Is Set Tab Order Broken in Acrobat 8.x Pro?

I can't seem to get it to work. Even when the automatic tab order setting is done and it is numbered correctly, when I switch to Preview and also save/close/re-open in Preview, the tab order is what it was before. When I go to Edit Layout, the tab ordering numbering shows correctly for all fields, but back in Preview, it goes out of whack in the same way.

Yes, I had already tried saving and even closing and re-opening. The Set Tab Order interface does not even operate in a fashion the user would expect. When replying to the alert question about automatic vs. manual setting of the interface, then randomly clicking fields, at one point the order stops changing once a field is selected. A text field becomes the LAST numerical field when it is selected, rather than starting at one and proceeding in ordinal fashion.
I am convinced that this feature is bug-ridden based on my attempts to work with it and given the numerous posts "commenting" on this very feature.

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.

Change order in Acrobat Pro XI pdf portfolio

I can't seem to change the order of my portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. My portfolio layout is Click-Through. When I drag an item on the mini-navigator bar at the bottom and move to a new spot and let go when I have the vertical insertion line, the item doesn't move and bounces back to original spot. Can anyone help me, please!

I'm having the same issue. Once files are in the portfolio, Acrobat XI will not allow me to click and drag them to a different order. I despise Acrobat XI.
