Automatically scroll through a document
Automatic scrolling advances your view of the PDF at a steady rate, moving vertically down the document. If you
interrupt the process by using the scroll bars to move back or forward to another page or position, automatic
scrolling continues from that point forward. At the end of the PDF, automatic scrolling stops and does not begin
again until you choose automatic scrolling again.
1 Choose View > Automatically Scroll.
Press Esc to stop scrolling.

Retrace your viewing path
You can find PDF pages that you viewed earlier by retracing your viewing path.
Note: It's helpful to understand the difference between previous and next pages and previous and next views. In the case
of pages, previous and next refer to the two adjacent pages, before and after the currently active page. In the case of views,
previous and next refer to your viewing history. For example, if you jump forward and backward in a document, your
viewing history retraces those steps, showing you the pages you viewed in the reverse order that you viewed them.
Retrace your path in a PDF

Retrace your path through multiple PDFs
❖
Choose View > Go To > Previous Document or Next Document. These commands open the other PDF
documents if the documents are closed.
Note: If Reader is open in a web browser, you can use the web browser's Back and Forward options as usual to retrace
your steps.
Navigate with links
Clicking a link in a PDF is like clicking a link on a website. Links can take you to another location in the current
document, to other PDF documents, or to websites. Clicking a link can also open file attachments and play 3D
content, movies, and sound clips. To play these media clips, you must have the appropriate hardware and software
installed.
The person who created the PDF document determines what links look like in the PDF.
Note: Unless a link was created in Acrobat using the Link tool, you must have the Automatically Detect URLs From Text
option selected in the General preferences for a link to work correctly.
Choose the Select tool
1
Position the pointer over the linked area on the page until the pointer changes to the hand with a pointing finger.
2
(A plus sign or a w appears within the hand if the link points to the web.) Then click the link.
and Go To Next View button
