User PDF-Xchange Editor Plus 8.336.0
I have added a number of fields to a PDF (Form/Edit Form). But when the PDF is opened the tab order does not flow from top to bottom. I can display the tab order but cannot see the property which allows me to change the tab order of the fields.
Is this possible to do?

Thank you for the replies.
I have got to the right place but I simply cannot drag the fields into a different order. I can click on each field and select it but they simply will not move when I try and drag it up or down.
I am running PDF-Xchange under a Parallels virtual machine using Windows 10, but I do think this is the problem, as I can click on and select bookmarks and drag the individual bookmark entries into the desired order.

On the Fields pane check Order by Pages and set tab order to manual.

Victor - I was having the same issue. After some time, I found that you must click Select Fields on the Form menu first, then you can drag and drop the fields via the Fields pane.
