In above DocumentView1_MouseWheel leave out the line: IconView1.Selection = [$iCurrentIndex]

The IconView1 is something I have in my project I use the IconView to show the thumbnails of the pdf pages. This line of code ensures that when scrolling the mousewheel in the DocumentView, the thumbnail of shown page is selected in the IconView. Keeps the IconView and DocumentView in sync.
