Preview pdf from Windows Explorer

Post by gplowther »

Currently if you have XChange Viewer installed but not Adobe PDF Viewer, you do not get a preview in Windows Explorer (you have to have Adobe PDF Viewer installed to get this).

Could you add this in as a standard feature of XChange Viewer as well (Free or Pro).

Other than that is there a workaround to get this, without having to install the Bloated Adobe version?

Thanks

Explorer extention for showing thumbnails (and not only thumbnails, but some other features like tooltips, property page, etc) is ready now and will be available soon as a separate download from our site.

I think I have posted this into the wrong section of the forum - it was meant to be under PDF XChange Viewer Pro Enhancement Requests. If it is in the correct place for this please let me know, if not could you please move to the correct section and let me know.
Cheers
