XYplorer Beta Club

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:
Any ideas of what might be up?

thanks

Ach

XY version number would be helpful.

Yes, sorry. Current beta which is 28.00.0200 according to the application.

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.

Unusual. Like everything Adobe.
