Preview Handler for pdf new solution

Post by bossi »

... a new solution is using "Windows Power Toys"-> File Explorer Addons -> activate .pdf Preview Handlers
and you're all set , now Previews and Thumbnails should work inside XYplorer.

old method suggested here was installing non standard pdf software which would work to some extent but be also bugy.

Power toys PDF preview is not part of the OS,
so its non standard software as any other suggested tool for PDF preview.
The only standard viewer is the one which comes with Microsoft Edge
and this works fine in XY.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.69
