Quickly, the answer is Yes.

I would tackle this one just like a web page since Adobe Reader is the equivalent of a browser.

Let Adobe set the tabindex based on the structure of the document. Map that structure in your head or on paper first. Secondly, test the output and if it needs a tabindex of 0 or higher to adjust it, you are good to go.

As long as the tab order for keyboard only and screen reader users is how it should be, go ahead and move on with other work. Don't sweat it.
