How to Scroll Vertically Through PDF Pages in Acrobat Reader Mobile
Question details
The user wants to configure the mobile PDF viewer to scroll vertically through documents, either continuously or one page at a time.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat Reader Mobile
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Reading a multi-page PDF document on a mobile device and trying to navigate downwards.
- Observed behavior
- The user needs the specific navigation settings to change the reading mode to vertical vertical page-by-page or continuous scrolling.
Ensure that your Acrobat Reader Mobile app is updated to the latest version, as the layout of viewing menus and scrolling settings can change between updates.
Adjust PDF Viewing Settings for Vertical Scrolling
Modify the app's default layout settings to allow continuous vertical scrolling or a single-page vertical swipe.
Acrobat Reader Mobile offers different viewing modes to optimize your reading experience on smaller screens. By default, it might be set to horizontal swiping or reading mode, but you can easily switch this to a vertical orientation.
Launch the Acrobat Reader Mobile app and tap on the PDF file you wish to read to open it.
Tap anywhere in the middle of the screen to reveal the top and bottom toolbars. Tap the 'View Settings' icon (often represented by a page icon or a liquid mode icon, depending on the version) located at the top of the screen.
From the dropdown menu, select 'Continuous Scrolling' to scroll up and down smoothly, or 'Single Page' if you want to swipe vertically one whole page at a time.
Return to the document and swipe up or down on your screen to move vertically through the PDF pages.

How do I jump to a specific page while scrolling?
Tap the screen once to bring up the reading menu. Use the scrubber/slider at the right edge or bottom of the screen to quickly scroll through pages, or tap the page number indicator to type in the exact page number you want to view.
Does WPS Office mobile app support vertical scrolling for PDFs?
Yes, the WPS Office mobile app fully supports vertical, horizontal, and mobile-reflow scrolling modes. You can customize the page transition styles easily from the 'View' menu within the app.
