Hi,
Background: I am experiencing an EXTREMELY frustrating bug with Adobe Reader. I am using Reader on my iPad Mini 4 (so it has a touch screen). I use a stylus and keyboard case, so my iPad functions like a mini-computer (I use the stylus like a mouse and type with the keyboard which holds my iPad in landscape orientation).
Issue: No matter how careful I am, I frequently accidentally brush or touch the toolbar at the top of the screen which jumps me to the very, very beginning of the PDF (usually the cover of the textbook I am studying). Then I have to try to navigate back to whatever page I was on. If I don't remember exactly which page number, it takes some time to find my place. This wastes HOURS of my life with unwanted jumping to the cover page. I worry that Adobe considers this behavior a "feature" (but I consider it a BUG because there is ZERO value to jumping to the cover page: if I want to go there I can navigate there...having a shortcut to the front page that booby-traps my toolbar is UNHELPFUL and ANNOYING). It also happens often when I pick up my iPad to hold it or move it because the non-touch frame around the iPad is narrow so my fat fingers sometimes brush inside the touch-area slightly and BOOM I'm rudely jerked to the cover page. But if this is "functionality" that the developers built into Adobe Reader (and may they burn in hell for it), then surely there is a way to disable it? I need to touch the toolbar frequently as I study a textbook to use the navigation and search functions. So I am constantly in jeaopardy of accidentally being jerked away to the first page. Who needs a shortcut to the first page? NO ONE! Who asked for a shortcut to the first page. NO ONE! What is so urgently important on the first page that we need to visit it so frequently? NOTHING!
Request: Please help me figure out how to disable this annoying behavior!
Thank you
