Good day!

I use Acrobat DC, last version, and a have problems with page scrolling.

Every time when I open any document, I have to set up manually option in wiew -> page display -> enable scrolling. The option in Preferences: Page Layout: Single Page Continuous - don't works!

There are no special properties in page layout in my pdf documnets.

You can see the problem on attached video.

In previous versions of acrobat in last years there was no such problem.

Does any body know where is the problem?:)

I read the same problem have another users. like this

I'm programmer, i feel is is a bug! 🙂

I ask developers to fix this bug!

Would it make any difference if Adobe Acrobat is run as Administrator?

In which operating are you running Acrobat?

I'm only saying this because, if this is not a bug, then it looks more to me as a "not lockable" preference setting (which is controlled at the registry Hive level (in the case of MS Windows) or Plist (in macOS).

If that is the case, rather than a system-wide "lockable" preference (which actually prevents user-level modification ), a "not-lockable" preference setting will change every time the "Document Open Settings" subfeature because it allows the current user profile in that OS to interact with these preferences. These subfeatures will also be overrriden by Accessibility settings in the PDF itself.

I am curious though if this is still happening even if you have enabled in "Edit"---"Preferences"--->>>"Documents"--->>>"Open Settings"--->>> "Restore last view settings when reopening documents".

See here: Remembered Views

Specifically this registry key : Default Layout and Zoom but there are more areas in the registry that also need special attention to lock this setting (if at all possible).

Additionally (or better said, ideally) , there should be an option to trap or save these preferences configuration in a PDF document.

Please look, I open files by turns, in which the view setting is in default. I also show that I have page scrolling set in the program settings. However, when new files are opened, the program opens in single page mode.

I need that every time I open a new file, the program will view it in the mode that I have set, that is, single page continious, that is, in the scrolling mode.

Who can help solve this problem?

Nobody has shown there is a problem yet, Acrobat is designed to allow the document to choose to switch off single page view. The original poster shared a video but declined to confirm whether it was the document. Please open the document in Acrobat Pro and look under File > Properties.... Initial view. This option cannot be viewed or changed in Acrobat Reader.

Is there a way to make all PDFs have the property that shows continuous scrolling? The new GUI is defaulting to single page. My preferences tell it otherwise but seems to be overriden by the document properties. tx
