PDF hover box - Cannot decode

Post by On2It »

I can't get PDF to preview in the hover box. See screen clip.

A PDF will show its text content in the Preview window but I can't get anything when I hover the mouse over the filename (I have it set to reveal when hovering over the filename).

You want to see the extracted text? Add pdf to Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Text Files.

No I don't want text, I was expecting a graphic page view.

When I check an earlier installation (one without Acrobat or any 3rd party PDF viewer) I can see a graphic in the Preview window but I still get 'Cannot decode' when I hover.

Make sure that PDF is ticked in Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Office Files.
