Scroll pages in Acrobat Reader via the arrow keys Apps
In addition to the Page Up and Page Down buttons, you can scroll a page at a time in Acrobat Reader with Shift Up Arrow and Shift Down Arrow. This might be a known "feature," but I can't see these shortcuts mentioned in the menus.

[robg adds: Why bother, you might ask, given that you have page up and down keys? If you're using the arrow keys to scroll a line at a time, it's much easier to press Shift and an arrow to jump a page than it is to move your hand up to the paging keys...]

Scroll pages in Acrobat Reader via the arrow keys

Thanks for the tip! I might add, that on a Ti/i/AlBook, you need to press the FUNCTION key (on the left side of the keyboard) plus the UP/DOWN ARROW (on the right-side of the keyboard) to PAGE UP/DOWN. Using SHIFT+UP/DOWN is much more convenient!

Scroll pages in Acrobat Reader via the arrow keys

The right and left arrow keys will scroll one page at a time in Acrobat Reader. Much easier on a PowerBook, and not as far of a reach on most keyboards.

Scroll pages in Acrobat Reader using the mouse wheel

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can use USB Overdrive and create special settings just for Acrobat Reader. I assigned keystrokes to Wheel Up (arrow up) and Wheel Down (arrow down). So, finally, I have mouse scrolling functionality in Reader!
