How do I scroll multiple lines (thus faster) in Adobe Acrobat Reader?
When I scroll a PDF with the mouse (two-finger gesture on a laptop to be more precise) the scrolling is way too slow. I am not referring to rendering issues nor some kind of lag. Simply put, the reader scrolls line by line and therefore it requires multiple gestures to scroll just a little bit of a page. I want to be able to scroll much faster and smoothly, like one does on a HTML page (e.g. in Chrome).
I tried to search in preferences but I did not find any option. I also tried to change the number of lines that the mouse scrolls in the control panel but that did not affect the result either (in fact, it is already set by default to 3 lines there but Adobe still scrolls 1-by-1).
Any idea? It is really annoying. I want to read smoothly.
Thanks a lot!
For Adobe Reader XI 11.0.10 (Windows 8.1):
View
-> Page Display
-> Enable Scrolling
I'm always running into this problem, but then I forget how to fix it. It can be fixed by changing the display view to be "continuous" instead of just a single page.
From the Adobe's forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/620819):
In order for it to actually use my scroll rate I had to go to select 'View->Page Display->Single Page Continuous' rather than just 'Single Page'.
This worked for me:
View
->
Page Display
->
Enable Scrolling
Then I went into
Edit
->
Preferences
->
Page Display | Page Layout: Single Page Continuous
so that I didn't have to change the setting each time a NEW Adobe file was opened.
I am on Windows 7, Adobe Reader XI (11). I have a Logitech mouse and I also have the T650 touchpad exactly to relieve my poor finger from rolling that wheel. Both work very well. Did you try to change "how many lines" the mouse wheel scrools ? That is a setting of the mouse itself, not Adobe.
Now, my real pet peeve with Adobe is the "continous view" that I had a hard time finding:
Edit - Preferences - Page Display - Page Layout - Single Page Continuous
But that is not enough just yet... go to: Edit - Preferences - Accessibility - Always use Page Layout Style - Singe Page Continuous
