How do you save this as a permanent setting so that you can scroll quickly as opposed to the slow scrolling which appears to be the default setting? I am using Acrobay Pro 9.5.5.

Every time I select it under View - Page Display it resets when I open a new pdf.

To override a setting that's specified in the document, you can set the following user preference: Edit > Preferences > Accessibility > Always Use Page Layout Style > Single Page Continuous

THANK YOU, GEORGE_JOHNSON!!!!!!! That fixed my problem!!

This is such a ridiculous PITA. Here are the three things I now know to check:

1. Edit > Preferences > Accessibility > Always Use Page Layout Style > Single Page Continuous

2. Preferences > Page Display > Page Layout > Single Page Continuous

3. View > Page Display > Enable Scrolling

When I first looked, Enable Scrolling was already checked, so on a whim, I unchecked it, clicked OK, went back in and checked it "on", clicked OK, and now Single Page Continuous actually works the way it's supposed to.

BTW, the document creator apparently has the option to choose the default behavior. Some PDFs default to continuous scroll, but one software vendor's PDFs defaulted to non-continuous. A pox on them.

Hi. Under Preferences > Accessibility, there is an override setting, to force PDFs to use a particular layout by default. I'd check that first, see whether it's activated and, if so, whether it's what you want.

I appreciate this is 11 years after your question but if I just surfed on in, others might too.

I selected single page continuous in page display and accessibility with no effect, but then did the following:
Hhamburger drop down menu-->View-->Page Display--> Enable Scrolling.

That did the trick.
