I'm reading a document in Adobe Reader and it apparently has some setting built in so that if you click on the document then it zooms in one level for each click. I can't even click on the scroll bar. Does anyone know how to change this setting?

Thanks for your help.

  • Right click anywhere on your document and make sure 'Marquee Zoom' isn't select instead of 'Select Tool'. You can also check this by going to View > Zoom > Marquee Tool – Callen L Sep 12 '13 at 14:18
  • Do you have the hand tool with a down arrow? http://superuser.com/questions/207740/can-i-turn-off-zoom-and-scroll-behaviour-of-adobe-readers-hand-with-down-arrow/208084#208084 – daxlerod Sep 12 '13 at 14:38
  • Thanks so much, Callen. I had tried the view > zoom > etc but that was not working for some reason. But the right-click menu did. – Ryo Sep 12 '13 at 15:23
  • daxlerod -- it was showing a circle with a plus -- the usual small zoom icon. I had seen that question (and a few others that were zoom related) but none of them fit my situation. – Ryo Sep 12 '13 at 15:24
  • @CallenL: My Adobe Acrobat is showing the same irritating behaviour (it really gets in the way when adding comments) but the solution suggested here doesn't apply; the behavour continues when the Select Tool is selected. Any further suggestions? – Arend Sep 28 '19 at 07:04

I had the described problem, and I believe I found the same answer here, Turn off a down arrow within the hand symbol in pdf
