    To achieve the behavior you want in Acrobat Reader on your Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen—where you can scroll and zoom with your finger while drawing only with the stylus—there isn't a built-in feature like this in Acrobat Reader at the moment. However, there are a few potential solutions or workarounds you could try to enhance your experience:

    1. Use "Stylus-only" Mode (if supported)
    Some PDF reader apps allow "Stylus-only" input, where only the stylus interacts with the drawing tools, and finger input is reserved for navigation (scrolling/zooming). Unfortunately, Acrobat Reader does not have this feature natively, but you could explore these options:

    Check Settings for Input Modes: Open Acrobat Reader, go to Settings, and see if there’s an option to limit drawing to the stylus. Sometimes, different versions of apps or devices may offer advanced features that you might not have noticed.
    2. Switch to an Alternative PDF Reader with Stylus-only Input
    Apps like Xodo and Squid offer more stylus-friendly features, such as finger-scrolling while using the stylus for drawing or annotating. These apps allow you to:

    Use your finger for navigation (scroll/zoom).
    Stylus for drawing or annotating, without needing to switch between modes.
    These apps can open and annotate PDFs just like Acrobat Reader, and might be better suited for note-taking in medical school.
