Hello,
I am using Acrobat X. I have noticed that with some PDF documents I can smoothly scroll from one page to the next. That is, as I scroll I see the last part of one page and the first part of the next page, but they are definitely separate pages. In other PDF documents, however, I cannot do this. Instead, I can only see one complete page on the screen at a time. When I scroll it simply jumps to the entire next page all at once. In most cases my preference is the smooth scrolling behavior. I assume the different behavior lies in how the PDF file was created. Could someone please tell me what causes this difference? I actually have the source code for a custom PDF file creator and I want to make sure I create PDFs with the smooth scrolling behavior.
Thanks,
Ray
If the document is not locked from editing, do this in Acrobat X:
Ctrl D or File > Properties
Click on the Initial View tab > and from the Page Layout drop-down menu,choose: Default or Single Page Continuous
Click OK, Close and Save the document to keep changes.
When you open the document, it should have the continuous scrolling you want.
You may want to lock the document afterwards,if you do not want other Acrobat users tampering with the settings.

I myself was facing the same problem with a PDF having large pages in Adobe Acrobat Reader and was trying to fix it using the solutions mentioned here. Finally, came up with the solution from a YouTube video. Menu > View > Page Display > Enable Scrolling. Hope it works for you as well!

All the stuff I read on here either weren't working for me or was a 1 time fix. What I found to work was going to Edit/Preferences/Accessibility and then on the Override Page Display - make sure the box is checked to Always Use Page Layout Style and choose in the dropdown Single Page Continuous. Then click OK. I always then exit out of PDF just to be safe and then go back in to see if it stuck. And it did for me.

Edge uses chromium/chrome's pdfium. It has a lot of bugs. Not that Acrobat has none...
