Understand App Limitations and Request the Feature
Adobe Reader for mobile currently lacks the auto-scroll feature due to platform constraints, but you can request it for future updates.
Due to specific mobile platform limitations, automatic scrolling is currently not supported in the Adobe Reader mobile application for Android or Fire OS. This feature remains exclusive to the desktop versions of the software.
If you rely heavily on this functionality, providing feedback directly to the developers is the best way to encourage its implementation in future mobile app updates.
Navigate to the official Adobe feedback page or use the help and feedback section within the Adobe Reader mobile app to submit a feature request for mobile auto-scrolling.
As a temporary workaround, open your PDF sheet music in Adobe Reader on a Windows or Mac computer. Go to the 'View' menu, click on 'Page Display', and select 'Automatically Scroll' (or press Ctrl + Shift + H).
