Autoscroll?

Using Acrobat DC Professional with Windows 7 and trying to set Bookmarks to items on the lower half of a page we discovered that even with View / Page Display / Enable Scrolling and Show Gaps between Pages selected, the view will not allow us to show the bottom of one page and the top of the next page as shown below.

Document properties are set to Single Page Continuous.

I accidentally discovered that if I first turn on Automatically Scroll and then turn it off I can scroll anywhere and bookmark any view even the one below.

Is there a way I could duplicate this effect using Javascript on file open?

I'm looking for some help to code a Javascript to run Auto Scroll and then immediately turn it off, returning to top of the file.

Thanks!

You might change back to use the file, I mean to use single page view when creating the bookmarks. A bookmark can only have a destination that is a rectangle ON ONE PAGE. No way to change this, so by choosing Single Page View you have full control over WHICH page is the destination. Zoom until only the desired rectangle is visible. You cannot set accurate multipage view targets.

Turn off continuous. Set the bookmarks in single page view.

Changing to Single Page View does not produce the result above. Clicking the bookmark should show the bottom of one page, top of the next and the gap between.  I cannot get this without running "Autoscroll" first. 

I am trying to consistently produce the result above, not get rid of that result.

I thought a Javascript to turn on Autoscroll and then turn it off might do that.
