Change default action of middle mouse button in Acrobat Pro

[Joel32981617bdpv]

Like most modern mouses (I guess,) I have 3 buttons on my mouse -- the traditional right and left buttons, plus a center button, that doubles as a scroll wheel. The default action of my center mouse button in my Acrobat Pro is that it results in a small window popping up with an image of one of the pages in the PDF. (This only happens if the PDF has more than 1 page; but, I almost always work with PDFs with multiple pages.) My center button is very sensitive, so I routinely hit it accidentally, resulting in the window popping up, which stops the pages from scrolling.

I would LOVE to disable this feature for all PDFs. Or, at least,  change the default setting  to something more benign, like maybe the hand tool? Is there any way to do this???

Hi @Joel32981617bdpv,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

I couldn't think of any particular settings within Acrobat that could change how the middle scroll wheel functions in Acrobat.

What I could suggest here is, to try the mouse and keyboard center from Microsoft to dictate what you mouse buttons should do.

Link to download can be found here: Mouse and Keyboard Center download - Microsoft Support

Let me know if this helps.
