- Device & OS

- Scenario
- Reading a PDF document in Page-by-Page mode on a mobile tablet device.

Submit a Feature Request to the Developer
Since the mobile app does not currently support disabling the swipe animation, submitting a feature request is the official channel to ask for this functionality.
Acrobat for Samsung and Android tablets currently enforces a sliding animation when navigating pages in 'Page-by-Page' mode. Because there is no hidden setting to turn this off, the development team needs user feedback to prioritize adding an instant-rendering toggle in future updates.
Open your tablet's web browser and navigate to the Adobe Acrobat UserVoice feedback page at acrobat.uservoice.com.
Sign in with your account, describe the issue with page transitions on your tablet, and request a feature to disable animations for instant page rendering.
