Smoother scrolling in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Hi there, scrolling through a document in Acrobat using the blue part on the scrollbar seems to be a bit jerky compared to for example scrolling through a webpage in Firefox using the scrollbar. Anyone got any tips on how to improve the smoothness (not the speed) of the scrolling in this way? I find that no matter what I try, the best I can get (even zoomed in) is about 1/3 page at a time.

Actually Graffiti it might be able to be done via 'touchup tool' without creating a new PDF. Assuming of course a photo editor like Photoshop is present.
To the OP: Acrobat is intended as final destination format and not really suitable for editing (although minor changes can be made with the full Acrobat product). It's always best to do the changes to the original document and then make a new PDF making sure you acknowledge proper version control procedures. Changing the PDF means that you now have a PDF that doesn't match the original document.

No momentum scrolling in Acrobat Pro 9?

Has anyone else noticed that there's no momentum scrolling in Acrobat Pro 9?

Illustrator and PhotoShop are the two editors for graphics that can be used directly. I have no idea what your PDF looks like or what you are trying to do. If it is simply a graphic, you need to edit in a graphics editor. The point is that Acrobat is NOT an editor. You can do limited editing for some things. Otherwise you need to put it into a form for some other program to edit. If you are talking about ai, it sounds like you have a graphics file. In that case, you can simply save as a graphic and edit if you desire.
I would make every effort to obtain the original or just recreate the original.

Two finger scroll in Acrobat Pro

I'm using a Macbook Pro and have just downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. The application is not allowing me to two-finger scroll between pages. I can use two fingers to scroll within a page, but it won't allow me to move from page to page using two fingers. Any suggestions?

Why is scrolling so sluggish in Acrobat Pro 11.0.10 on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.2.2

I am running Yosemite 10.2.2 and Acrobat Pro latest update 11.0.10, yet when scrolling through even a few page PDF document, the performance is terrible. It is stuttery and sluggish. However, if you open the same documents in Apple Preview, they scroll and run silky smooth and speedy.
I have read sooooo many forum complaints about the Mac version of Acrobat Pro and Reader being like this, and apparently not getting fixed with update revisions.
I have even checked on a Windows 8.1 virtual machine and the scrolling performance is fine, so it seems to be totally Mac related and Acrobat Pro not playing happily.
When is this going to get fixed?

this article refers to 11.0.7 and below versions, I am using the latest version of 11.0.10
Also 11.0.10 Acrobat Pro doesnt have the setting of Preferences-General-Scale for screen resolution

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Adobe Acrobat Pro (CS3) Slow Scrolling

Scrolling in any .pdf document opened in Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.7 is very sluggish. All other applications are fine including Acrobat Reader 8 or 9. Any suggestions?

You should post in the Adobe forums as this is the Apple forum and Acrobat Pro is Adobe software.

Acrobat Pro CS6 onn OSX scroll speed

Hi all,
This is a strange one... I installed CS6 on my Macbook Pro, updating from CS5.5.
All is ok except for one weird issue.
Scrolling up and down PDF files in Acrobat Pro is super slow. Like mollases. It's very annoying.
I have always assumed scroll speed to be a system level setting, and all my other programs, including the other CS6 installs, are scrolling at my system-set speed.
I looked in Acrobat Pro to see if there is an application-specific setting to no avail.
Does anyone one know what might be happening and what I can do to fix it? Perhaps I'm missing something simple (I hope...)
Thanks!
Scott

OS 10.5, Apple wireless mouse. No issues in any other prgrams. But I did discover changing the view setting for the PDF remedies the issue. Why would I have to do that to scroll at my set speed? Strange...

Mac Book Pro (late 2007): Photoshop CS4 - Smooth scrolling not supported

Hi, I installed Photoshop CS4 on my macbook pro (late 2007). Unfortunatly the smooth zooming and scrolling feature isn't supported because "this feature only works with images that support Open GL"(error message translated from german).
I searched the web and encountered the issue with the Geforce 8600M GT series that might be corrupted. I contacted my local dealer, he found a problem, the motherboard and graphics card was replaced, but unfortunatly the problem still remains.
I guessed that my macbook pro is simply too old. But a few days later I saw a friend working with the smooth scrolling on his macbook pro from early 2007.
Does anybody have an suggestion to this problem?
The ROM Version of my GeForce 8600M GT is 3175

Hi, coolking. You've posted in a forum devoted to the recent "unibody" MBPs, which have different GPUs from yours. You're more likely to find users who are familiar with your machine and can address your problem if you repost in this forum:

If your using a Mac Locate the following PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert go to google.
It works better than the included AdobPDF Plugin. It works with any Web Browser except Internet Explorer.
It allows setting to do smooth scroll or page by page.
You must remove the AdobePDF plugin because the two plugins clash.
Why Adobe removed Support for All Browsers as previous to Acrobat 6, I'll never know.

Why do images within a PDF look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6?

Using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS version 10.7.5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card. High-resolution source images look fine in other software, and embedded images in a PDF look fine when viewed on Google Drive, but curves and diagonal lines look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6. Checking smoothing options in Preferences only adjusts the position of the jagged edges; it neither enhances nor ameliorates them.
I created a sample PDF to illustrate the problem I'm having. Created in illustrator, exported to PNG and converted to PDF. Here is a screenshot of the source PNG side-by-side with the PDF I created from it:
Please note that when I preview the PDF in Finder, and when I view the PDF in Chrome using Google Drive, the image looks fine. Here's a link to the sample PDF:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/77f5m6
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 crashes when displaying pdf made from Word doc containing url text

Hello,
I and a few others in my workplace have a similar issue.
Acrobat crashes when they scroll through and view a pdf file that was created from Word. The Word document contains url text in its header to the effect of "visit us at www.blah.com ." They're running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 and Office 2K Pro SR-1 on XP Pro SP2.
Even though the link is not an active link, (i.e. clicking on it does not open the web page), if I convert a document containing this header to PDF, Acrobat will not allow me to manipulate the file and will crash. When I take the same document and remove the web address, then convert from Word to PDF, I experience no problems with Acrobat (note that this is the identical file, but with the web address removed).This does not explain why Acrobat will work for awhile even with the web address in the header, then stop working. But it does appear to fix my problem with creating a PDF from Word, then manipulating it further.
Does anyone know how to allow for this text to exist in the header and still have a stable pdf file/acrobat behavior?
The pdf is attached.
Thanks....

To sum up, I've found that if a url beginning with www is in the Word document and then created to pdf Adobe will crash when viewing that pdf. If it is deleted from the Word document before creating the pdf, Acrobat will not crash when viewing that pdf.

Sluggish and Jerky scrolling on Macbook Pro (Retina)

The Problem
Over the past few months or perhaps longer, I have noticed poor performance with scrolling and responsiveness of my Mac when browsing the web and performing normal functions. It was often sluggish or jerky. At its worst, it was like watching a slide show when scrolling. The problem mostly represented itself when using web browsers, and worst of all in Google Chrome. No application was completely immune, but some performed better than others. Sounds like a Software issue right ? I had attempted small and drastic things to try to solve the issue.   After I completely re-formatted and re-installed Mavericks on my Mac, and the problem persisted. Ugh... Contacted support, and they ran me through the usual PRAM reset and reboot stuff, but no real solution was found.
I finally found an obsecure document that suggested that it may actually be a hardware issue.
I determined that the issue was not due to poor performance of the OS, Software or general CPU/MEM utilization as I had been assuming for months. After some extensive troubleshooting I determined that the Trackpad was in fact the issue.   Through recording Trackpad coordinates and troubleshooting the scrolling process, it was apparent that "when scrolling" the Trackpad was sending "sluggish/jerky" data to the OS.
The Fix
After I found this, It was simple to find a lesser-known fix for the Mac which consists of Resetting the SMC. The SMC is the controller for the Low-Level hardware (Trackpad included). It is the general interface between much of the hardware in your Operating System. How it was "corrupted" or made to perform badly is anyone's guess.
I ended up resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) which made a drastic difference for the better.
Process for resetting the SMC:
For the MacBook Pro Retina Laptop (Non-removeable Battery)
Shutdown your Mac, ensuring that you Power it off completely.
Connect the Power Cord if not already connected.
On the Built-in Keyboard (Left Side) Press the Following Sequence:CONTROL-SHIFT-OPTION   once pressed, Press and Hold the POWER button (Hold for several seconds)
Release the keys at the same time.
Repeat (if you want, I did)
Then Press the Power Button to restart the computer.
Hopefully Enjoy smooth scrolling and TrackPad movement.
To reset the SMC on other Mac Models, Refer to the Apple Support Doc: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
It Works Mostly
I still find that on occasion the issue re-surfaces for a short time, and is generally assiciated with high utilization of CPU. But in all, it's like having my brand new Mac back.
NOTE: Please be sure that you troubleshoot and determine that this is the most likely issue. Resetting the SMC is a LOW-RISK process, but Apple recommends that you only do it if absolutely necessary.
I Hope this helps someone else out.   After the countless hours of troubleshooting I have done on this, and in finding the ultimate solution, I felt compelled to write it up on the forums for others to find.   Enjoy.
--YIHateApple

PRAM contains settings for a number of things. Resetting it cannot hurt and "might" fix the problem. As I indicated, if that does not help, take it in for service.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2 blurry shadow problem

Hi all,
This problem is very strange and just happened to me last week.
When I opened 1 PDF file, the problem didn't occured, but when I opened 2 or more PDF, this problem occured.
This is the normal file
Open this image to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test.jpg
But after I scroll the PDF file (using the scroll in the right side) and then stop, slowly but sure, the PDF screen and font start to get blurry and blurry (you can see there is a diagonal line from upper left to the bottom right screen, the left screen is blurrer than the right screen)
Open this image2 to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test2.jpg
And if I highlight some of the text and scroll the mouse down, the screen will become unbelieable blurry, just like this.
Open this image3 to have visual picture : http://140.116.5.200/~tisa/adobe_error/test3.jpg
Thank you so much in advanced for helping... Already looking the answer for several days without any solution.
What should I do ?
NB : I have try to uninstall and install this software but it still happened.
NB2 : I tried to install Acrobat Reader (free) and I got the same problem
NB3 : I changed my Adobe CS4 to CS5 several weeks agao. I don't know if this is the problem.

So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
Thank you so much in advanced.
