Same behavior on my system. No more thumbnails for PDF files. However, it appears that if the thumbnail is in the cache created by previous version, it is properly displayed.

Hm, all fine here. Are you using Adobe?

Yes, if the thumbnail is in the cache created by previous version, it is properly displayed, but MDBU and Floating Preview do not work (PDF's Full Preview still works).

I'm using PDF-XChange. I wonder if there is a pattern...

Just curious, is this issue on your list? I would like this functionality restored if possible. Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Gary

Hm, I'm not aware of any change that could have caused this. Are you sure that older versions work and newer ones do not?

I re-installed 13.50.0000 and it creates PDF thumbnails. I re-installed 13.60.0000 and it does not create thumbnails - the generic PDF thumbnail is displayed. I think this got broken in one of the point versions of 13.50 (I did not save any of these versions). Sorry I cannot give you the specific version where this broke. I did not realize this was broken until this thread appeared and by then I had installed 13.60.0000.

Edit: the reason I did not notice this was broken is thumbnail caching. The thumbnails were created in prior versions and 13.60 was reading the thumbnails from cache and all looked normal. (Win7 64-bit)

Strange, it is definitely not broken here (using PDF-Xchange Viewer). Is there anybody using Adobe Acrobat where it is not broken?

I tried this out of curiosity. Fresh Windows 8.1 32 bit virtual machine with nothing installed except Adobe Reader XI.
I can confirm XYplorer 13.50.0000 shows thumbnails for PDFs and 13.60.0000 does not.
If possible later, I'll try to pinpoint the specific build between 13.50 and 13.60 where the problem occurred.
