Issue with setting Tab Order

In designer i create a form and set the tab order, when i preview the PDF the tab order works fine. But when i do a save as and save the form as a pdf document the tab order changes automatically. I even set the hirerarchy of the fields. Can some one suggest me a solution?

Can you post your form so I can have a look at it..
Steps to upload the document
1) goto acrobat.com website
2) login with your Adobe login/password.
3) In Actions you will find Upload. Select your form and upload.
4) After uploading, select form name in All Files section and right click and select share.
5) Check the checkbox "Allow anyone with a link to view this document".
6) Copy the URL link and post it in the forum.
Thanks

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.

Setting Tab Order in LiveCycle Designer 7.1

Hi,
I am trying to set the tab order in a dynamic form. In my form instances of subforms are added on runtime depending upon the no specified by user. It has atleast 7 pages.
I have tried with View >> Tab Order but to no use.
Please help.
Thanks

This question is better asked in the LiveCycle or Designer forums...

Unable to set tabbing order for a typedef

Attached is a .CTL file that is for a typedef in my project. I'd like to set the tabbing order. I'm using the "Array to Cluster" VI (is it a VI?) to fill it with data, however because the controls are not in the correct order, the data is no being put in the right place. When I edit my CTL, Edit|Set Tabbing Order is greyed out. Why is this and how do I fix it?
See my attached file.
Solved!

Never mind - I figured it out. Right click on the cluster containing my controls and select "Reorder controls in cluster..."

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.

Set tab order by clicking fields, how?

Ive done it before but cant figure out how I got to it. The presets for "by row", "by column", etc... and arranging using the view on the left panel are not working easily for me and it would just be so much quicker and easier if I could just click the fields in the order I want the tabbing to go. How do you get to that function?

Thanks for the caution. If folks do try this dual install and they get bad results or "buggy" performance, they should uninstall V5. Optionally, keep an old machine running V5 just to set tab order. Recently, we set row/column mixed tab order on a form with 600 fields. Ten minutes vs hours of tedious work locating and dragging fields up and down the column.
We did have a conflict last month when we were intalling PitStop on a V5/V9 machine. PitStop complained about V5 and wouldn't install. We removed V5, installed PitStop and reinstalled V5 and it all works like a charm.
Down in the trade-shop trenches we have to produce forms efficiently to bid competitively. We experiment with many techniques to save time. Naturally, we cannot expect to get Acrobat support with our violating, multi-version setup, but this is a small sacrifice because our experience with "support" is that they really aren't fluent in deep product usage.

Issues with printing purchase order

Dear friends,
I'm having some issues with printing purchase orders.
Normally when I create a purchase order via ME21N and then when I save the purchase order it then gets automatically printed.
Suddenly it is not anymore working. I have created a purchase order this morning and it did not get printed. I get the message "frontend is not available"when i check the spool in SP01
The funny think is if i call up the spool nr via SP01and then do a reprint then i'm able to reprint.
What can be possibly the issue that I can't print the purchase order when I create the purchase order via ME21 when I save the purchase order? Can you help me with any guide on where I need to check why the PO is not printing immediatelly when i create the PO via ME21N?
kind regards,
Camilla

hello all,
thanks so far for your reply.
i have checked today my user settings and that shows that my prints should go to LOCL (local default printer)
The output conditions fpr purchase order have also LOCL (local printer)
The weird thing is that I can print other reports to the default printer without any issues. The issue arise when I create a purchase order via ME21N. Normally when I save the PO it automatically prints. So no manual print instructions are required from my side. Because if I give manual instructions then I'm able to print the purchase order.
Is it possible that the automatic printing is switched off and that it only prints when I hit manually the print button?
Is the automatic printing something that is maintained in SPAD?
kind regards and thanks for your help sofar

Issue with Setting Application Item

Hi All,
I have an issue with setting the value of application item G_USER_ID as part of the login process.
I use customized authentication for login. I have created an application item G_USER_ID, and in my CUSTOM_AUTH procedure, I am setting its value as APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', l_user_id);
For some reason, the value is not set to G_USER_ID the first time I login. When I log out and login again without closing the browser, the value is set. Note that I even tested with a static value instead of l_user_id like APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE('G_USER_ID', '5555555'); but still fails to set during the first login.
I hope someone can guide me as to what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks!

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.

Issue with printing production order after changes through CO02

Hi,
Currently I have one issue with printing production order changes through CO02. If I go for print, all the operations are captured in printout. But after the print, if I add any new operations to this production order, and then go for print, its not capturing the newly added operations. Also, there is information popup coming "Copies will be printed for order. Original list already printed". This message effectively means, even after changes, when I go for print functionality, its just going for printing copies of original printed list.
Can anyone help me out to get the newly added operations reflected in the print through CO02 ?
Regards,
Shiva

Issue with setting ratings and labels

Greetings all. I am having an issue with setting ratings AND labels on image files at the same time. If the script sets the label first then the rating, the label doesn't show in Bridge. If the script sets the rating first then the label, the rating doesn't show in Bridge.
Is there a workaround for this? Here is my script function for doing this. file=filename minus extension. Rating is a number for the desired rating. lab is a number for the level of Label I wish to set. Everything works great except that I can't set both Rating and Label with the script as shown. In this instance, only the Ratings will show up in Bridge after running the script. If I move the x.label=Label line under the x.rating=Rating line, then the ratings only show for those images with no label (lab=0). Any image that gets a label receives no rating.
If you're going to test this, you may want to comment out the Collections part. That's the part within the "switch(Number(Rating))" block.
function setRating(file,Rating,lab) {
    try{
        cr=File(file+"CR2");
        psd=File(file+"psd");
        jpg=File(file+"jpg");
        tif=File(file+"tif");
        switch(lab) {
            case 0: Label = ""; break;
            case 1: Label = "Select"; break;
            case 2: Label = "Second"; break;
            case 3: Label = "Approved"; break;
        if (cr.created) {
            var c=new Thumbnail(cr);
            c.label=Label;
            c.rating=Rating;
            if (psd.created) {
                p=new Thumbnail(psd);
                p.label=Label;
                p.rating=Rating;
                if (jpg.created) {
                    var j=new Thumbnail(jpg);

                    j.rating=Rating;

            else addFile=cr;
        switch(Number(Rating)){

Afew errors to start with, you were not creating a proper file as there wasn't a fullstop in the filename.
If a CR2 file didn't exist no other file was looked for, you were using "created" and should have been "exists"
This now labels and rates....
setRating("/C/Test Area/NEF/z",2,1);
function setRating(file,Rating,lab) {

Setting tab order/reading order of a form.

I have created a survey with fillable form fields and saved as a PDF. When I tab through the form to fill it out many of the radio buttons get skipped. Also, when using VoiceOver to read the form it does not read the form fields in the correct order, however it does read the text correctly. I have used the Order tab to set the tab order of the form fields but this does not appear to make any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply! Based on your suggestion I did a little experimenting.
This is a form saved to Enable User Rights so PDF viewers can fill out and email or save the form. After seeing your question, I opened the form for editing (actually saving a copy first that was not restricted, and editing the copy). I then toggled the Tab Numbers on via Tools > under the Forms header I clicked Edit > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Show Tab Numbers. After revealing the tab numbers I then tried to save the form as a Reader Extended PDF, but the Enable Additional Features option was grayed out. Even if I wanted to, I could not save the form with the tab numbers revealed.
The form itself was also received by our company electronically and when viewed does not show the tab number order and when we print it, it prints as expected (no tab order numbers).
We are suspecting that this may be an issue either with the end users printer? Or possibly viewing and printing via an alternate viewer like Foxit?
Anybody run across this odd behavior?
