Is it so hard to just let me see the page break?

I wanna see the last line of the previous page and the first line of the next page at the same time.

Oh wonderful

When I try to highlight text it for some reason selects as if the font size were like 200+ so literally half the page is blue. And then it screws up and superimposes another page in the part that isn't selected.

Not with the reader I have to use. It's on my work PC, so I'm stuck with the one they chose.

Which reader? Edge can do PDFs. A recent Firefox update highlighted the fact they can do it too now although I thought they always had the ability to do it.

I hate that I have to use the subscription model of Adobe. I work in the office side of construction and my job heavily involves reading blueprints. They all come in PDFs anymore and some of them can get LARGE. I was just messing with one that was 400 MB and I know I've had some that are larger.

Using the free version it is just super slow and crashes a lot going between pages. Like it will take 5-10 seconds for a single page to load sometimes, and this is NOT an issue with my PC. The pay version works way better.

To me, this is a weird usage of the word "anymore" but I've been seeing it used like this ever since a user pointed it out a few years ago. Are you from the Northeast area? Like Philly or so? I feel like it's used more in the Northeast part of America.

... Yeah I guess I could save it to disk and open it with a browser but that's like two whole extra steps.

About an hour outside of it. Closer to Harrisburg, but yes, PA. I noticed I do that a lot, I even deleted one from an email I was typing today. Is there a term for it?

ETA: It might be called a "positive anymore" but I might not have used it correctly.

Just be glad you don't have to deal with XPS documents.

Do you remember XPS?

I do. Microsoft wishes you didn't.

What reader is this? Acrobat lets you change it from single page view to scroll view, and it seems weird that you would use something other than Acrobat

It's Adobe Reader. Maybe you can change it but I gave up on trying to navigate menus in GSEW software years ago.

See if there's any options under the View settings, it could be an easy fix and then everyone in your office will look up to you

Yeah I clicked and I clicked everything I could find in preferences, in a couple of different categories, that included.

No dice.

I'm currently just saving to disk and opening in a competent program (browser).

Gracious, thank you.

I guess they put it there instead of in the preferences so it can be a document-by-document kind of thing, though in turn I don't understand why anyone would want to do it differently from doc to doc.

It's not used that way in the northeast northeast (New England), at least that I've ever heard. It always makes me do a double take, too.

And yes, it's called positive anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_anymore
