How to enable scrolling by default. I'm using Acrobat DC. Every time, when I open document I chose in view -> Page Display -> Enable scrolling. It works, untill I close Acrobat. When I open acrobat next time, in order to be able to scroll I should do this set up again. How to make this setup stick?

Correct answer S_S

Hi @miket24434990,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in!

Acrobat, by default opens the PDF in the view that has been set at the time of creation.

You can override the settings by going to Preferences-> Accessibility-> check the box saying "Always use Page Layout Style" and change it to continuous.

Hope this helps.

None of these work for me. Apparently, Adobe is letting chimpanzees design their products. I'm unsure why scrolling wouldn't be the default setting.

If none of this works for you it's because you have to disable the following: Documents --> "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" for it to stop opening your single page scroll even though you enabled override continuous --__--

This is still high on the search results list and it was missing a component for me when "checking" my new global settings in Reader on pre-existing PDFs I had lying around.

*Edit - Preferences - Documents = UNcheck "restore last view settings when reopening documents"

So for anyone trying to get PDFs to continuously scroll and not hop between pages

0) Verify you want the behavior that happens when you select - View - Page Display - Enable Scrolling

If this is what you want, do the following:

1) Edit - Preferences - Documents = UNcheck "restore last view settings when reopening documents"

2) Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Default Layout and Zoom - Set "Page Layout" to "Single Page Continuous"

3) For good measure, Edit - Preferences - Accessibility - Override Page Display - check "Always use page layout style" and set to "Single Page Continuous"

4) Hit "OK" button to save all settings and test some PDFs!

Yup my wife's been complain for awhile and even though I looked around on the net it took me 4ever to find the answer for adobe DC. The main 2 things to remember are enable scrolling and the little icon with the two split pages which is in all the versions of adobe reader etc. The best explanation I found so far is in the following and you can see the icon I'm talking about.
