Hello,
As the subject states, how can I make the cursor jump to the next field after inserting content to a text field.
In my special case the text fields are limited to one character each.
Thanks and regards,
Marek

Hi pinkfluffyphobia,
there are options to limit a form field to a single character:
and there can be a "Tab Order" set, but you would need JavaScript to make it automatically advance without hittiing the Tab key. Some resources for such a JavaScript:
https://acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-ac ... -standard/
https://answers.acrobatusers.com/step-s ... ents191025
Depending on your use case, yo may just want a single field with the "comb" option set:
That will let your users enter a single character value in each box but have the result as a single field.
See the attached sample and let me know if it addresses your need.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your answer and your great tutorial.
For my actual needs the comb-field works just perfect and it saves me lots of fields.
Nevertheless, I will work into the javascript for future use as well.
Thanks again and kind regards,
Marek
