I use acrobat to comment on student papers. In acrobat 7, the default setting was for pages to scroll continuously, which made it easy to work-- I didn't have to reset it to scroll every time. This is the one thing I dislike about acrobat 8-- I *do* have to reset it every time, and I have 58 papers to do every week. It's a small thing, but it's really, really annoying when you deal with it cumulatively across a day's work. Is there any way to change default settings in this version? I would be incredibly grateful for advice. Liz
Viewing files in Continuous viewing is set in the Page Display Preferences only for PDFs that do not have the Initial View options set by an end user. If the Initial View options for Page Layout are set to Default and you're not seeing the pages in a continuous view, then your Preferences on your machine need to be changed.
Open the Preferences (Command/CTRL + K) and click Page Display. In the right pane choose Single Page Continuous from the Page Layout drop down menu. This setting will display all PDFs in a continuous page view for all PDFs that were saved with a Default Page Layout Initial View.
If a PDF author overrides your preferences by changing the Page Layout to another view, you need to manually click the Scrolling Pages tool in the Page Display toolbar. This behavior is identical to earlier versions of Acrobat.
Hope this helps.
