How to enable scrolling by default

[alexl1949]

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?

@lastwraith - My kinda post! Detailed with an extra kicker, just to be sure. "If there's more than one way to skin a cat, do 'em all and that cat's surely gon git skinned."

THREE YEARS after you provided this tip, it solved my issue! Thank you very much!

OMG, you are a life saver! I don't usually comment in forums, but I had to do on this one, thank you!

It worked, thanks that was driving me crazy

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  --__--

THANK YOU-THANK YOU

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.

Thank you, this works!

(And pretty silly that it is so hard to do 🙂

This post is from 2016 and we're still dealing with the same problem in 2023? ... sheesh

[gudguy1a]

Yep, it is kinda a kick in the rear ain't it.... DOUBLE sheesh....

   Adobe should be doing a few face-palms at this point...

But HEY!

Maybe when they implement more AI at Adobe (when it isn't hallucinating), maybe, just maybe - that AI will notice and say "hey, folks are STILL going on and on and on about this topic...."

Once it's adapted in both locations, it works perfectly. Thank you.

This was so helpful. Thanks!!

[Kate37822344zzvv]

Thank you soooooo much! That was beyond frustrating!

[Vanessa314212741boj]

Very appreciative of your reply. Like everyone esle here, it's great to know I wasn't the only one frustrated with this problem, and would never have looked under Accessibility.

[rajibul_karim]

Go to Account>preference then on the "page display" settings in select "page layout" single page continuous or two up continuous.

[miket24434990]

Unless it's changed recently, I think you'll find that only works for the current session. Next time, it will be back to normal. The permanent fix is the one under 'accessibility' covered elsewhere  in this thread.

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.

My word, this UI designer need to be fired, asap!

You call it "Enable Scrolling" but in setting you call it "Single Page Continious" 

freakn' confusing as hell, please stop this bad design tradition.

@miket24434990 @S. S 

Yes, this fix is the one we've been discussing since 2016 and again in 2022...

Thanks @gudguy1a for the reconfirmation.
