PDF Preview on preview panel

Post by Fushko »

Hello, I am very grateful with the XYplorer program, it meets all the expectations of a file explorer and more.
I work a lot with PDF files. I have to open them all the time to know how to differentiate them.

The OneCommader program displays PDFs with a single click and can be reviewed page by page exactly as they are on preview panel.
Attach OneCommander example Pic.

On XYplorer they are seen now in pure text.

I wish that in the preview panel on XYplorer, I could see them with a single click like the OneCommader program does.

Thank you so much...

PDF preview experience (like other file types) depend mainly on the preview handler installed by the PDF software you have installed on your system.
There are many threads on this forum about PDF preview, do a search of the forum and you might find a solution.
Btw no problem with your described PDF preview on my system with a current PDF XChange Editor and then a legacy PDF XChange Viewer installed in that order.

Execute this script e.g. from the address bar and post the result:

Code: Select all

text "Prev. handler:" . <crlf> . get("previewhandler", "pdf") . <crlf 3> . "Associated app: " . get("assoc", "pdf");
Make a copy of your XYplorer.ini, rename it to XYplorer.xys, attach that one to your next post
