Question

Scroll Tab Location

I submitted this request as a design change to no avail. Can you design the scroll tab to be moved to the left side of the display for right handed users? I accidentally move the scroll tab a lot. It makes reading difficult when one is reading a long pdf and one accidentally engages the scroll tab and finds one is now 100 pages away from the required reading page. Now one has to locate the required reading page again and again and again. Extremely annoying. I could use this @!#@%$@÷×)"#  to describe what leaves my mouth with each accidental contact. Liquid mode doesn't work for documents with more than 200 pages.

    hi 1ll,

     

    Thanks for contacting us. If you don't want the Scrubber (Scroll tab) appear on the right hand side,

    you can go to Immersive mode for reading by only tapping once on the document content and the Scrubber (Scroll tab) and the top bar should be invisible as below,

     

    And you should not have any problem to scroll through pages in your case.

     

    Hope this help,

    Hi derek!

     

    I know about that maneuver. Many times, while in a rush, I forget to tap the display and hide the tab. Having the option to move the tab to either side would alleviate the problem and one won't have to remember to tap the display every time the app is opened. I'm a licensed electrical contractor. During the course of a day I'll open and close many documents using the app. I have a local electric utility (con Edison) app where I access its Code (Blue) book. Then I need to open the  New York City Electrical Code book. Now I have to switch back to the con Edison Blue book. I have to open a Burndy parts catalog to look for con Edison approved crimp connectors. Then back to con Edison's Blue book. With each change of document I have to remember to tap the display on my mobile phone, S22 Ultra, to hide the scroll tab. Surely Adobe, with all its software engineers, could make it a tad bit easier for me, considering I'm paying Adobe a decent sum of money, yearly, to utilize their app , by making it possible to move the scroll tab to the left side of the page. One would think Adobe would do all it can do to improve its app for its current users as well as attract new users.
