    Hi XYZabcScreenName,

    You should use the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC as Reader XI had been declared EOL. 

    You can download the latest Reader DC from: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

    This vexed me for a while, but I found the answer. Apparently it has to do with win8's ability to use touch mode to scroll pages. I use one touch screen and one regular one, I guesss Adobe detected that.

    Go to edit, preferences, general. In the touch mode drop-down box, select never. The scroll bar is back!

    How can I have the vertical scroll bar and still be able to work with the touch screen? I'm asking because I'm working with a laptop and tend to use both options depending on the environment. Actually this is working fine for all other applications but the Reader.
