How can i change the mouse' wheel-scrolling-speed in Adobe Reader / Acrobat Pro?

Guest
Apr 20, 2010 Apr 20, 2010

While I'm studying i read a lot of books at the computer with Adobe's Acrobat and sometime i just fly over the pages to find something. What keeps me annoying is, that although my scrolling speed is set to fast in Windows settings, whenever i open a pdf file and zoom a little bit in to fit the screen, Adobe changes the wheel-scrolling speed of my mouse to very slow.
It seems to me, if i would try to scroll in this situation through a let's say just 20 pages ebook it could last for years to reach the end of the pages...

Any suggestions why or how to change this behavior ?

Here's what I did:

     1) Update your mouse scrolling rate.

     2) In order for it to actually use my scroll rate I had to go to select 'View->Page Display->Single Page Continuous' rather than just 'Single Page'. Fast scrolling works.

I tested this on my new MacBook without Logtech Options installed and the scrolling issue is non-existent then, so it seems te be in the combination: Acrobar and Logitech Options. I would assume it's with Acrobat as Acrobat is the only application misbehaving with Logitech Options installed

Instead of scrolling, you can hold down scroll wheel and drag the page up/down to skim pages faster.

I know it's been 15 years, but can we add a scrolling speed to Adobe Acrobat? Thank you

Hi there,

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble you are experiencing.

Unfortunately, Adobe Acrobat and Reader do not currently offer a built-in setting to adjust mouse wheel scrolling speed directly within the app. The scrolling behavior is handled by your operating system or mouse driver/software.

You may also share your feature request directly with the development team here https://adobe.ly/4fhH4rR for their consideration and future implementation.
