Does not display PDF preview
Does not display PDF preview
Hi, I have downloaded the demo versions of XYplorer. I am very impressed with the program, however, all my pdfs from different folders don't show on preview. Images, AI files etc all show, just PDF files don't show up.
I went to settings to check and there is a PDF extension already available and box ticket. Not sure what am I missing here. Appreciated for any help, thank you everyone.

Thank you! I tried that, but unfortunately I cannot uninstall Adobe and second the PDF-XChange Viewer is not available for downloading in my location until further notice according to them.
I guess my journey ends here with XYplorer................ (

You can do the same by using: https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/downlo ... pdf-viewer
When you start the installer, click on the "Options" button in the lower left corner and make sure to select at least:
[x] Let Windows show previews of PDF documents
The "User-Defined Preview Handler" for it is:

Re: Does not display PDF preview
Thank you, this time it worked. Appreciated.
This created another issue that I need to install a third party application.
I hope XYplorer would have it native support.

Re: Does not display PDF preview
Nobody has native support for PDF apart from specialized PDF software. It's not trivial.
But, while Adobe is not ideal, the PDF-Preview should work with Adobe somehow. Might need some configuration. What's your Windows version and what's your Adobe version?

Re: Does not display PDF preview
When I was using Foxit PDF, I could view PDF files without issue. I had both Office Files and *.PDF ticked (under previewed formats).
I recently changed to NitroPDF and now cannot view PDF files inside XY.
Is there a "magic number" I can use to make it work as in an earlier post?
BTW, how does one find the "magic number" for a program?
Or will you have to kill me if you tell me...

@admin: yes, 64-bit preview handlers for preview is ticked.

(OK, you can kill me , but I gotta know where you got that "magic number.")

E.g. via shellexview from NirSoft or by looking into the registry (viewtopic.php?p=208057#p208057)

Thanks highend! That's brilliant!!!
Looks like that thread turned into a discussion of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours..."
Good to see levity along with technology...

I added those GUIDs to the bottom of https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=PDFpreview
Let me know if there are more.

Re: Does not display PDF preview
Your PDF-XChange CLSID is for the very old and discontinued PDF-XChange Viewer.
You should add a note to it like: *DEPRECATED
It seems to be the same for Foxit...
Your CLSID for Adobe is not for the Reader DC version?

Re: Does not display PDF preview
Whenever there is a new tip posted on this, I give it a go, only to be disappointed again and again.
I haven't been able to get a bigger MDBU or Hover preview for PDF's any bigger than about 30x40mm for quite some time now, which unfortunately doesn't help much.
