Acrobat Reader 11 (XI) : No scroll bar on the right, and I cannot find the option in "preferences" to enable it. Annoying to have to "grab and pull up" all the time. How do I enable it?
Thanks.
It might be "Touch Mode".
1. Go to Edit>Preferences>General>Basic Tools section.
2. Select Never in the Touch Mode pop-up menu
3. Click OK in the Preferences window.
See if that makes a difference

Is this a Touch Device like a tablet or Surface Pro?

Kind-of, but not really. It's technically a Dell laptop, but it's one of their 2-in-1 models, the kind you can flip the screen behind the keyboard and use "tablet-style," but it's a laptop.

Thanks. THis solution is exactly what I needed. It is still annoying as heck that a visible scroll bar is not the default; what was Adobe thinking? 🙂

Thank you EQuijano! Thank you NOT Adobe for burying this setting and making it as NON-INTUITIVE as you possibly could.

How do you do this on a MacPro laptop? I have tried everything. Including your suggestion above. There is no Never in the Touch Mode pop-up option.

I set the Touch Mode to "Never" but the scroll bar still isn't showing up on my end 😞

Some docs now have a vertical scroll bar, others do not. It is maddening.
