![]() Instead, I heard about this phenomenon from another poster on this Forum.) Another problem with these instructions is that they don't specifically tell you that Touch Mode causes scrollbars to be hidden. I can also toggle off Reader's Touch Mode by clicking on its Touch Mode button (a nuisance).įor anyone who cares, at the following URL, under "Viewing PDFs and Viewing preferences -> Touch mode for tablet and mobile devices", are the steps for "Set Touch Mode preference" (Stupidly, they fail to say that this applies to desktop touchscreens too-they just say "tables and mobile devices"-and they list these Preferences under the heading of Acrobat, but I've found that these preferences can be set in Reader XI on the fly. Apparently the scrollbars were being suppressed on the touchscreen desktop for all PDFs by default, until I changed the setting in Preferences, which thankfully persists between Reader sessions. On my older non-touch computer the scrollbars were displayed automatically and there was no Touch Mode button on the Reader toolbar. Who reads the Release Notes for Adobe Reader? I don't.įor the record: I understand that your system is different. ![]() Adobe has changed the bloated Reader significantly without telling users directly about the changes. I was just as irked as you when the scrollbars wouldn't display. I don't have any PDFs that I know were created with scrollbars suppressed, so I can't test for that. I can't see why any "author" would inconvenience their readers by doing this, but apparently some do. I agree that the scrollbar(s) won't be displayed if the PDF was created with settings that specifically turn off the scrollbar for the document. It should be possible to enable scroll bars by default on the reader side. Scroll bars have nothing to do with document creation, the document scanners don't have the slightest idea on what kind of device the document will be read. Although I'd much prefer a full screen version that does not just jump from one top of a page to the top of the next page when you click (the mouse cursor looks like a down arrow) but a version that would display the rest of the page that does not fit on the screen so you can read the document. The reader doesn't even auto-adjust to my screen size to view the page in the largest font, so the scroll bars seem to be only one of the many usability issues of the software.Īnd I don't miss just the vertical toolbar, but also the horizontal one, when somehow magazines are published 2-page wide and when the 2 pages don't fit on the screen or window. No doubt you devs have multiple 32" LCD monitors on your workstations, but try reading a PDF on a netbook or ultrabook or tablet, it is just impossible. Reader is the only PDF reader I know that prevents users from reading. They force me to use the mouse wheel to scroll down to the second half of the page displayed every single time, and then it will jump to the next page because I used the wheel one click too far. Spindle Professional v6, Mac OSX 10.4, 10.5 and 10.This is ludicrous, users can't control the scroll bars? One of the most important features in navigation?
