The contents of PDF files is ALWAYS divided in pages, and Acrobat/Reader will always show some gap between consecutive
pages.

The "Single page" view option will display only one page (of part of one page) at once; you cannot have (parts of) 2 or
more pages on the screen at the same time, and when you scroll the display will jump from the bottom of one page to the
top of the next. The "Continuous" option eliminates this jump, and when you scroll you may have on screen the end of one
page and the beginning of the next. However, there will be a gap between the two. When you switch from "Single page" to
"Continuous" view, the display will momentarily look the same; you will see a difference only when you scroll the
document.

If what you want is a PDF equivalent of something printed on "continuous paper" (like Z-fold paper with "perforation
skip" turned off), all you can do is to use a custom page size in portrait mode with a very large height. You must
however choose this height when you define the custom size, that is before printing; "printing to PDF" on an "infinite
length" paper is not possible. There may be a max height imposed by the operating system or Distiller, but I do not know
this value.
