I want to be able to scroll in a PDF page.

Interactive scrollable content(Either another PDF, Text, or an Image) in a single PDF page.

I know that InDesign has a scrollable frame overlay feature, but its only for Mobile access. I want to be able to view this in Acrobat on your desktop.

Not sure how to explain this properly but I hope someone understands and can help me. Thank you!

I would advise against it. There is no real support for it in PDF and even if you could hack something together it probably wouldn’t work in most PDF readers.

Can't be done natively. There could be a way to script/code something with Java.

Great, can you point me in the direction I can could look into this code to implement?

Doing this would work natively for clients to easily view the PDF document?
