Question

Mouse auto scrolling not available / working in Adobe Acrobat Reader

simply want to click, then release the mouse wheel, and then be able to scroll up and down, say, a 60 page PDF document at the exact speed I wish, stopping and starting as I wish, simply by then moving the mouse on the mat forwards and backwards, no further button pressing or holding down of the button required. This is a standard, indispensably brilliant functionality I use on every single web page I visit, Word document or Email I read, it is only Adobe Acrobat Reader which does not have this basic mouse functionality, other PDF readers all have it as well, so why is it Adobe does not? I am aware of the auto scrolling option in Adobe which is incomparably inferior to the above method which is why everything has that really basic functionality I am talking about available as a standard function - everything except Adobe of course.

 Just wondering if anyone has found any kind of solution to the above mouse scrolling problem in the last couple of years at all? As the same problem still seems to exist on both new and old versions of Adobe Acrobat reader. Many thanks!
