Guide: How to Enable/Disable Scrolling By Default in Adobe
If you switch to your preferred page mode in Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC, continuous scrolling is often disabled. That’s not ideal when editing or reviewing multiple PDF documents where pages are constantly jumping to the top of the screen – things can quickly get disorienting. That means you have to repeatedly spend precious seconds opening the Acrobat menu bar to return to normal scrolling. Fortunately, Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC allow you to enable scrolling for your favorite page mode by default. You can also add shortcuts to scroll directly to the Acrobat toolbar itself. Let’s take a look at how to do all that below.
Enable scrolling in Adobe Acrobat by default
At the time of writing, the latest versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro / Standard DC and Acrobat Reader DC resize pages by width with continuous scrolling enabled. But if you choose to switch to an alternate page mode (Fit One Full Page, Single Page View, or Two Page View), scrolling will be disabled. That’s especially true of the Fit One Full Page mode (accessed from the Page View Modes menu), which offers no additional option to switch modes with direct scrolling enabled, unlike Single Page View and Two Page View. If you don’t want to waste time not only switching page modes but also enabling continuous scrolling, you can override the default page display settings in the Acrobat preferences pane. The following steps should show you how. Step 1: Open the Edit menu in Adobe Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC and click Preferences.
Step 2: Click the Accessibility side tab.
Step 3: Under the Override page display section, check the box next to ‘Always use page layout style’. Depending on the page mode you want, use the drop-down menu next to it to select one continuous page or two continuous pages.
Single Page Continuous displays a single page, while Two Continuous Pages presents two pages side by side. Continuous scrolling is also enabled by default for both options. Step 4: Under the same section, check the box next to the ‘Always use zoom setting’ option. Then select your desired zoom setting. Note: You can skip this step if you want to keep the default setting for single page or two page zoom.
For example, Fit to Page will fit one full page by default, while Reflow Text shifts text while resizing or zooming a page. You may want to come back and tinker with these options to find the setting that works best for you. Step 5: Click OK to save your changes.
And that’s it. Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC always open PDF documents in your preferred page view mode with scrolling enabled by default.
Add scrolling shortcuts to Adobe Acrobat
Despite setting up a page mode in Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC that always scrolls by default, but you would still want to switch page modes while actively viewing certain PDF documents. Again, this can come to an end up turn off continuous scrolling. To some extent, however, you can solve the problem by placing special shortcuts that let you scroll for Fit One Full Page, Single Page View, or Two Page View page modes right in the Acrobat user interface. Start by right-clicking an empty area on the Acrobat toolbar. On the context menu that appears up, point to Page Display Tools, and select Enable Scrolling and Two Page Scrolling.
That should put two special icons that you can easily use to switch to single page view or two page view mode with scrolling enabled. You can also use the Single Page View shortcut to activate continuous scrolling after using the Customize one full page option.
Note: If you don’t see the options above, you can update Adobe Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC to their latest version. Open the Help menu and click Check for updates.
Enable scrolling in Adobe Acrobat (Mobile
The mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader / Premium for Android and iOS come with continuous scrolling already enabled by default.
But if you seem to be stuck in Single Page view, just tap the Page View icon at the top of the app while viewing a PDF document, then tap Continuous Scrolling. That should re-enable continuous scrolling.
Keep scrolling
Overriding the default Adobe Acrobat DC and Acrobat Reader DC page settings can help you avoid having to manually switch page modes with scrolling always enabled. Also, putting in a few special icons that allow scrolling to your favorite page view mode should work wonders. While you’re at it, you may also want to look at ways to get rid of Acrobat Reader DC’s annoying Tools panel. It’s a terrible UI design implementation that you should seriously consider removing permanently to get serious work done. The next up: PDFelement is a great alternative to Adobe Acrobat DC.
