Paging a PDF with Mouse

When I am a viewing a PDF and want to fast forward the pages, I can use
the keyboard arrow keys and this works. However if I am generally
navigating using my Microsoft Mouse it will not permit a forward or backward
page move more than one page at a time.

Or have I missed something?

Gee, I don't know. I opened a .pdf file on my computer, a long one, and at
the bottom I see four icons, two grayed-out for the first page, that look
like this |< < > >| . Clicking on them, in order: Back to the first
page, Back one page, Forward one page, Forward to the end.

It may depend on the reader you use to open .pdf files; I use Foxit Reader
by default, but I think the standard .pdf reader is the same. If you know
the specific page in the file that you wish to view look again at the bottom
of the page and find N/NNN, which tells you that you're looking at page N of
NNN total pages. Click the down arrow and select the page you want.

And BTW I like Foxit Reader very much.

I'm using Adobe reader 8, and I can flip through the document
pages at high speed, 50+ pages/sec, using the mouse wheel.

You have.

You missed telling anyone what PDF reading application you are utilizing
and/ort seeing what said pdf reader application support says.

As Ian has mentioned I can also move rapidly through PDF pages using my
MS mouse scroll wheel in either Acrobat Reader or Firefox.

Try one of those mice with a scroll wheel, or troubleshoot your scroll
wheel if it is not working.

Try a PDF on a machine with a functioning scroll wheel mouse.
 
The answer is that you have not got page viewing set to "continuous".

Go to the top menus and select 'View' then scroll down to 'Page Layout' and from the
list of sub-options select : 'Continuous'

Without this being selected if left as "Single Page" - you should still be able to
use the < > arrows to change pages, but you will not be able to "drag" any page
beyond it's boundary with the mouse.

Enabling "Continuous" page layout view, will allow you to "drag" through the pages
with your mouse...
