Is there a way to allow continuous scrolling in Adobe Reader?

For Adobe Reader X, XI:

To make continuous scrolling the default behavior:

Edit » Preferences » Accessibility » Always use Page Layout Style. Check Single Page Continuous.

To only do this for the current session:

Go to View » Page Display and check the option Enable Scrolling (this is only a one-time fix and will be reset the next time you open Adobe).


For Adobe Reader 9:

Go to View » Page Display and check the option Single Page Continuous.

They see me scrollin', they hatin'


Everything they said was fine but when you close and open Adobe Reader again, it goes back to single page viewing and that's annoying.

It's better to make it the default by doing this:

Edit » Preferences » Accessibility » Always use Page Layout Style. Check Single Page Continuous.

This helped me much more than having to keep switching it.


For continous scrolling on full screen perform the following steps:

  • Go Fullscreen: CtrlL

  • Enable AutoScroll: CtrlShiftH

  • Disable AutoScroll: CtrlShiftH

Now you can scroll with the normal arrow keys.
