Can I control one window whilst working in another?

The specific situation I have is this: in one window I have a PDF document
(opened with Acrobat Reader) that I am reading through quickly and scrolling
one page at a time using PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN. In the other I have a word
document in which I am making notes about what I am reading.

It would really improve my efficiency ability to just be able use PAGE UP
and PAGE DOWN to navigate the PDF document whilst the word document remains
the active window, instead of having to switch between windows each time I
want to do this.

I appreciate this would involve a fundamental departure from the way that
the windows desktop typically works but is there a way of doing what I want?
I only need to use the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys to navigate the PDF
document - so it would just be a case of giving that special functionality
(ie to control another window) to those two keys only.

Sorry, forgot:
Vista 64 Ultimate
Office 2007

And to simplify things I ommitted to mention that I have the two windows
running on separate monitors using DualView.

There is a automatic scroll feature in Adobe reader that might be useful for
you to use.
