Hi people, I'm having problems with floating preview and PDFs too, and found this topic.
In my work computer, I have Win11, latest XYplorer free edition and Foxit reader, and floating preview works just fine.
In my home computer, Win10, XYplorer 24.20.0500 and also foxit, but the floating preview doesn't work at all.
What can I do to fix this?
Here's the screenshot and error log:

Replace
E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf by the path to your PDF and run each of these lines one by one through the XYplorer address bar (paste them into the address bar and press ENTER):
Code: Select all
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf"; //normal preview
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", p; //PreviewHandler (bitness depends)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", p32; //PreviewHandler (32-bit)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", p64; //PreviewHandler (64-bit)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", t; //ThumbnailProvider (bitness depends)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", tf32; //ThumbnailProvider IShellItemImageFactory (32-bit)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", tf64; //ThumbnailProvider IShellItemImageFactory (64-bit)
preview "E:\Test\Preview\Katakana.pdf", te32; //ThumbnailProvider IExtractImage (32-bit)
Does any of them work without error?

Hi.
None of them worked, giving the same error output.

All of them gave that error? That's not possible.
And could you click on the Details button in the error message and post the details in text form?

Sorry, I should've clarified myself before.
Neither didn't work.
All of them opened the right preview pane with nothing on it.
Those three below:
preview "h:\test.pdf";
preview "h:\test.pdf", p;
preview "h:\test.pdf", p64;
gave the exact same error described below, and also opened this window on the top left corner after I close the error window: (the same way when pressing F11, I forgot to put this screenshot together with the others in my first post)

preview "h:\test.pdf", te32;
did not output the error window, but in the blank preview pane it additionaly showed the text: "Preview failed".
I hope I have described everything now, if something it's still not clear please tell me.
Thanks again.

Weird.
You might need to specify a GUID to make it work with Foxit. Here at the bottom are 2 GUIDs for Foxit preview handlers:
https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=PDFpreview
Try them with Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: User-Defined Preview Handlers.

I tried:
Setting the two GUIDs for foxit (not at the same time).
Installing and setting the GUID for Sumatra (both 32/64 bit).
Installing and setting the GUID for pdf-xchange viewer (only 64-bit, it won't allow me to install 32-bit on my 64-bit Win10).
I didn't do all of this at the same time, after intalling the next app, I've uninstalled the previous.
Nothing worked, the same error is given.

Well, also here I'm out of ideas. Your system is strange.

BTW, why is the first line wrapped?
Can you show a shot of the complete box, and what is your screen resolution, 150%

Yes, it's 1600x1200 at 135%, otherwise I can't read any text
