Field Order

Post by WFM »

Is it possible to set the sequence (order) of the fields when using the tab key to jump from one field to another? It seems that the order is basic upon the order they were put on the page. So if you need to insert one back at the top it is skipped till the end.

Hello,

The tab order is created based on the order the objects were placed on to a page.

However, the current version of the PDF Creator contains an un document method which will allow you to reset the Tab order the objects in a document. I have attached a vb 6.0 code snippet which illustrates how to do implement this new feature.

Hope it helps?

With PDF1
.Open "c:\temp\tab.pdf", ""

'This property can take one of 3 values:

'0: old behaviour
'1 : objects are scanned horizontally
'2 : objects are scanned vertically

.ObjectAttribute("Document", "AutoTabOrder") = 1
.DoCommandTool (acCommandToolRunDocument)

.Save "c:\temp\new_tab.pdf", 0

End With

Hope this helps?
