PDF Previewing
When I preview PDF files they appear as text in the preview windows. How do I configure XYplorer to use my default PDF engine (which is Bluebeam Revu)?
I'm sure it's documented somewhere however I have been unable to find means and methods in the help files or the forum. I can preview in Windows Explorer
(see attached png), even multiple page pdf's and panning and zooming is available there. Thank you.

Don't know Bluebeam Revu. Generally a PDF viewer should install the 32-bit and 64-bit thumbnail handlers. The 32-bit ones are needed by XY.

The screenshot shows Quick File View - shouldn't it be displaying PDFs in hex mode?

I assumed he pressed F11 and it fell back to Quick File View because no image could be extracted.

Re: PDF Previewing
Even so why would it not be in hex view still?

Re: PDF Previewing
Good point. I can repro this only be adding PDF to Preview Formats | Text... hmm... (got to leave now, but there is a question to the OP now...)

Re: PDF Previewing
@ t_mcconnell: can you reproduce the problem with a fresh instance? (http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=fresh)

Re: PDF Previewing
I tried the fresh; command and I still get the same results with the viewer: "No preview available". The view changes from black background to hex when I toggle F11 back and forth. If other users are able to preview PDF's then the only information I can think to add at this moment is that my OS is Windows 7 Enterprise (which may or may not be relevant).

Re: PDF Previewing
Tip: v15.20 will bring a whole new preview. Maybe this will fix it for you.

Re: PDF Previewing
Hi there, should the new PDF preview work with 15.20.0300 ?
Unfortunately this is not true for me. I can only see a black windows with a red bar at the bottom saying "no preview available..."

Re: PDF Previewing
Works here, but apparently depends on a couple of system factors (esp. which PDF viewer software is installed). Well, a better preview is the next big feature, so there is hope...

True! Using Acrobat delivers a proper result, not so with Nitro PDF... OK, wait and seeadmin wrote:Works here, but apparently depends on a couple of system factors
