How to smooth scroll with Acrobat DC

Does anyone know how to set Acrobat Reader DC to scroll smoothly through a PDF document when viewing it? Whenever I scroll through any PDF using the arrow key, when moving to a new page, the doc jumps around a lot, causing me to have to constantly use the scroll bar to reposition the page back to the beginning. This disrupts the reading experience. I have already tried View > Page Display > Enable Scrolling, but this has no effect on the issue. I am using Windows 8.1 laptop.

Hi! My first question here and I believe here it where it fits best.

I am doing some split-screen editing on my MacBook Air.

On the right I have a pdf open via Adobe DC.

On the left I have an OpenOffice file.

The scrolling is working well, but here is the catch:

If I have my zoom on the PDF at 75%, it scrolls great

and I have zero right to left motion inside the view, as at 75% the margins are fully fitting.

However I cannot see the text itself, or well, it is quite small.

My optimal zoom is 84%, which in split view on my mac allows me to see the exact width of the TEXT in the PDF itself.

However, and this is what I am trying to "Lock" in that I get right to left motion within the PDF, as it thinks that I would really like to "see" what I have done on the margins, however in my case I have no use of looking at the margins. Needless to say, the side to side motion within the PDF is really tirying my eyes.

Does anyone know how to "lock" right to left motion. If you need a clarification let me know.

As a side note, I am having the same problem in split screen view with the OpenOffice file on the left, but that is a question for another forum.

Thank you everyone!

Hi All,

I have the same issue as well, where the pages move from left to right when scrolling up/down. Any suggestions on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi paulsenduser,

Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to Help menu & repair the installation.

Relaunch Acrobat Reader DC & Enable Scrolling, now try to replicate the issue.

Let me know how it goes.

Took me a while to get back to you.

I tried what you suggested, but it did not have any affect. There is no way to simply scroll up and down smoothly from page to page like you can in MS Word. This jumping around is really disruptive to the experience. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Thanks,

I finally figured out what the problem was. I have been keeping the select tool activated at all times because I do a lot of cutting and pasting. Once I switched back to the hand tool as the default, everything is scrolling along just fine.

Not sure why the select tool is engineered to scroll differently, but there it is.
