You will need a proper PDF Editor that supports PDF form fields, and where you can configure tab order between those fields. Preview is not a PDF Editor, nor are its text box annotations form entities, or tab aware.


Some examples of PDF Editors:

  1. Mac App Store
    1. PDF Expert
    2. PDFpen 12
  2. Master PDF Editor
  3. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (subscription)


All of these vendors offer limited trials from their respective websites.
