How do I make tabs in forms automatic?

[Steve_Wiskowski@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to set up a form in Adobe Acrobat where the user can type in one of the form fields and then automatically go to the next form field in the tab chain without manually tabbing on the next box. How can I achieve this?

How will Acrobat know you've finished completing a field?

you'd have to limit the field to a certain number of characters, like in the case of a social security or phone number.

I tried to limit the number of characters to just one and it still didn't work. I can't believe I stumped the panel on this one.

Well, that was just a start. now you need a javascript to go to the next field after the previous field is filled.

You need to use JavaScript to do this... try the Scripting Forum.

To use interactive form fill I scanned my existing form and used as a watermark in the background and create an interactive form fields on top of it with that I could print on the same printed form which I scanned. I want to know is this a write method to create a form and I created a chekboxs in the same form but due to adobe pi font it has not printed in my leser printer do u have any solutation for that.

I suggest that you open a new topic, as this is a completely different question. I would also suggest giving a minimum of information, such as programs involved and their versions, as well as your OS version.
