Page Scrolling

[Graham31920244p10m]

Greetings,

I apologize if this seems too rudimentary. When I read documents, I prefer to scroll, as opposed to having a new page pop up. I recall in earlier versions of Acrobat and Reader, that scrolling was available in toolbars and the header of the UI (just dated myself there).

Now, the only available option is on the bottom right edge of the UI, and that is fit screen/ scroll. That requires selecting the option and then resizing the page. I looked in the in the customization routine for the toolbar the floats near the top left. However, there didn't seem to be a group to add navigation options. 

The only way, I have found, to get continuous scrolling is to go to the view menu and select scrolling.

I like Acrobat for its capability as a PDF system. It's rather amazing. But it's really busy and I wonder if I am missing what I'm looking for because I can't see the forest for the trees. To repeat, I must admit my ignorance of the program.

So my question is (you new one would come eventually...eh, where would I find the scrolling tool so that I can add it to one of the toolbars? Or at least, find it without having to use the View menu.

Any help with my obviously elementary question would be most appreciated. I am using the Acrobat Pro subscription service. I tried to find the version, but I was taken to a website that only said Acrobat Pro subscription.

Thanks,

Graham

This only works if you set it for every single document as you open them. It is annoying if you work on hundreds of document in a week.

Of course you prefer to scroll.  That's what normal people do and that's what virtually every other platform does - like internet pages, etc.  But the geniuses at Adobe turn the mouse roller into a page down key.  Why?  No logical reason [abuse remove].  So they constantly "improve" things...

Bingo.

I rarely write comments on forums but this really was exceptional.
figured out how to change the default setting thanks to the comments below. this was unbelievably confusing, I passed through "Accessibility" like 5 times ticking and didn't find it myself. why is it so hard to change what should have been the default setting in the first place?
Just make it a tick box and call it "allow smooth scrolling". I know app design is a hard process but it really seems rudimentary to me...

I found many features and functions, not just the scrolling, becoming more and more complicated and confusing and hard to work with.  Sorry being so negative.

I don't know wihch made decision that the continous scrolling should not be the default; which removed the View tab in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader; which hide the option of continous scrolling deep in the preference menu; which decided to remove Apply button and the setting can be only applied when the whole software is restarted.  Adobe, adobe UX designers, you can for making this software shitter. I am uninstalling this.

Sorry  Adobe UX designers, you guys are not the ones to blame upon further resaerch. 

whoever made the UX designers and developpers implement these decisions, regardless you are a marketing/sales/researchers/director of some sort...whatever. You should know that the world is a better place without you!

Looks like the comment is removed, but I have to say I mostly agree.  And keep in mind people actually were paid to make these changes that were a conscious decision.  it's a weird aspect of software development - they cannot leave well enough alone (or they'd be out of a job).

Solution: There is an option to "Restore last view settings when reopening documents", which resolves this issue. If you want to have continuous scrolling across page breaks then do the following: View > Page Display > check Enable Scrolling. Once you've enabled scrolling then do the following: Acrobat > Preferences > click on Documents under Categories, and then check the "Reestore last view settings when reopening documents" box

This helps, although it is nto a complete solution...
