Adobe Reader paging disaster

I have been using Adobe Reader for years and in general have had not one complaint.  But recently I’ve experienced an extremely annoying “jump” behaviour whilst scrolling through a document. You get towards the end of one page and suddenly “jump” to the next. I checked back on an old Windows 7 version of the Reader and found the document scrolled smoothly from one page to the next as if it were just one long page. Is there a setting for that ?

    Hi ​@Neil249290960hhm,

     

    Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

     

    While we are glad you found out the solution yourself, I’ll put in the detailed steps here for future users with the similar issue to navigate through the application:

    • Open the PDF.

    • Go to View in the top menu.

    • Select Page Display.

    • Click Enable Scrolling.

    • Then choose Single Page Continuous or Two Page Continuous.

     

    Alternatively, this can also be achieved by:

    • Go to Menu > Preferences.

    • Select Page Display from the left panel.

    • Under Default Layout and Zoom, choose Single Page Continuous.

    • Click OK.

    This will make continuous scrolling the default for newly opened PDFs.

     

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Regards,

    Souvik

    Answering my own question - yes there’s a setting. Check for “Enable Scrolling”.
