Can't scroll anymore in Adobe Reader

Question

I am able to scroll in every other application on my computer using the touchpad except my Adobe. I used to be able to but a couple of days ago something changed and now I have a black cross displayed as cursor and I can only scroll between pages using the scroll bar on the right side of the files. I tried to look for nvidia (found on other discussions) but I have not found anything on my computer. I have the latest version downloaded.

Hi Petra

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are unable to scroll the PDF using the touchpad

Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

Also make sure you have the recent version 21.07.20099 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082 and see if that helps.

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Windows or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there
