Default PDF question...adding text boxes, etc

I have a paper based form i need to fill in with clients but wish to do it via a pc.....if theres a better way ket me know! otherwise, this is what i've done - scanned it as a PDF and added text boxes in all the spaces where i need to input infomation. Problem is when i tab through the boxes they dont tab in order (because i didnt make them in order i suppose?) How can i "reset" the tabbing order for them? (or whats a better way to make a form of that type with "normal" software....and it will always need to end up as a PDF as thats how the files are kept once completed.

If you buy the full blown version of Acrobat you can create editable forms in pdf format which you can fill in and email or print etc. Acrobat's quite expensive tho I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives.

Hello

If you have the full version you can use Adobe Designer (which comes with Acrobat) to create the forms, that allows you to reset the tab order / list boxes etc...
