PDF Preview X64

Post by acheton »

Hi there

I am trying to preview some PDFs using XY's floating pane (F11). However, when I do so I get the message "No Preview Available". I have Adobe installed and I think it is configured correctly:
2025-10-01 13_41_08-Configuration - XYplorer @ D__GoogleDrive_AppData_XYplorer_XYplorer.ini - 28.00..png
Any ideas of what might be up?

thanks

Ach

It could be that your PDF preview handler is only 32-bit.

I am having the same issue. But then I only use portable applications, does that matter? I have set up File Associations within XY. Does this work for icon Hover preview?

Portable versions don't install a preview handler...

OK, as far I can see Adobe which is my default viewer, is the x64 version. Should this combination work?

Right, after a bit of googling, it appears that x64 preview handlers are not installed by default but you need to select this option to do so:

I've done this and it is now working fine. thanks for a pointer in the right direction Don.
