Windows Explorer Preview Pane

Note:

For Acrobat XI and Reader XI, the thumbnails of PDFs are automatically shown in Windows Explorer on Windows 32-bit systems. However, the same is not supported on Windows 64-bit systems.

Open Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. On the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

In the Preferences dialog box, choose General in the Categories list, and then select the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer check box.

Note:

If you don't see the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer checkbox, update your Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC to the latest version. To automatically update from the product, choose Help > Check for updates and then follow the steps in the Updater window to download and install the latest updates.

Wait for a few seconds while Acrobat is configured to show thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.

Note:

In Acrobat Reader, you see a prompt asking for the feature to be added to the current installation. Click Yes to confirm.

Windows Explorer Preview Pdf

The preview and details pane size is set by the DetailsContainerSizer binary value in the Registry key: HKEYCURRENTUSER SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer Modules GlobalSettings Sizer I do not know of way to make the thumbnail larger in the details pane. It is larger in the preview pane. It kept throwing out the “WerFault.exe – Application Error” every time when I highlighted a PDF file in my Windows Explorer with Preview Pane turned on. I installed all updates to keep my version up-to-date, and even tried to uninstall and reinstall.
