pdf preview in Windows 10 file explorer

I have been using «preview pane» in file explorer forever. However, for some unknown reason, the preview pane for pdf files have become very small, to the point where the pdf file preview pane is too small and unreadable. preview pane for all other files appears to be ok (large enough as before). this is only affecting pdf files.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe reader.

I am looking for suggestions to get back to where the preview pane of pdf files is as large as before

Hi Stephen. I’m Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Right click Start button to open Task Manager, show More Details, then choose Processes tab, scroll down to Windows Processes, then further down to Windows Explorer. Right click to Restart, click OK. Restart PC.

If this doesn’t help then try changing temporarily from Adobe Reader to Edge as the default .pdf reader at Settings > Apps > Default Apps. If that fixes it then the issue is with Adobe Reader.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it’s resolved.

Open 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.
Enable PDF thumbnail previews

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

Restart then check again.

thanks for suggestion. i tried both, but neither worked. even with using Edge as pdf reader, and resetting and restarting, pdf previews in explorer, regardless of which default pdf viewer used, resulted in very small window in preview pane.

1) Please work through this Checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs are done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki.

2) If any steps cannot be performed then try whichever method works to enter Safe Mode with Networking which may work better to perform the steps: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2984712/windows/.

3) If no Safe Mode, from the Advanced Startup Options use the Command Prompt at boot to run the Repair Commands in the Checklist: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2294-advanc.

3) If nothing else works then you can reinstall Windows while keeping your files, programs and most settings by running a Repair Upgrade. Install the Media Creation Tool from this link, choose Upgrade Now, follow the prompts: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m. . If this doesn’t help, do it over and choose to Save Nothing, which comes close to a Clean Install but doesn’t clear the hard drive to get it cleanest.

The Repair Upgrade in Step 3 will also update you to the latest Fall Creators Version 1709 (which you need anyway) f you don’t yet have it, and by the most stable method.

4) Or you can create the bootable media to do the gold standard Clean Install in this link, which compiles the best possible install of Windows 10 that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki.

5) There is also an automated Refresh which reinstalls Windows while leaving out the factory bloatware that throttles Windows and causes endless issues, lets you save your files. https://www.howtogeek.com/265054/how-to-easily-.

Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes. I’ll keep working with you until it’s resolved.

Enable Thumbnail Preview For PDF Files In Windows 10 File Explorer

Last Updated on March 10, 2020 by admin 10 Comments

If you used Windows 7 32-bit for a significant amount of time before upgrading to Windows 10, you would know that Windows Explorer in Windows 7 (only 32-bit) supported thumbnail preview for PDF files.

For some reason, Windows 10 doesn’t support thumbnail preview for PDF files in File Explorer (Windows Explorer). Windows 10 supports PDF viewing in its Edge browser and also allows users to save any text file as PDF file using Microsoft Print to PDF feature, but it doesn’t show preview and thumbnail preview for PDF files in File Explorer.

On your Windows 10 PC, if you would like to get preview and thumbnail preview for PDF files, you can do so with the help of third-party utilities.

The following are the two free utilities for Windows 10 to enable thumbnail preview support for PDF files in Windows 10 File Explorer.

NOTE: If you have issues with thumbnail preview, please refer to our how to clear and reset thumbnail cache in Windows 10 and fix to thumbnail previews not showing in Windows 10 guide.

Method 1 of 3

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to enable thumbnail preview for PDF files

Many users likely have been using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open and read PDF files in Windows 10. But what many users are not aware of is that the fact that the Acrobat Reader DC can be used to enable preview and thumbnail preview for PDF files in Windows 10 File Explorer.

The Adobe Acrobat Reader DC generates superior quality thumbnails compared to other programs.

Enable thumbnail preview for PDF files using Acrobat Reader DC:

Step 1: Head over to this page, download and install Acrobat Reader DC on your Windows 10 PC.

Step 2: Once installed, set Acrobat DC as the default PDF reader. For directions, please refer to our step-by-step guide on how to change the default PDF reader in Windows 10 guide.

Step 3: launch Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to Edit > Preferences > General.

Step 4: Check the option labeled Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer. Click the OK button to save the change. That’s it!

Open a folder containing PDF files to see thumbnail preview for PDF files. Please make sure that the thumbnail preview is turned on in File Explorer settings.

If you have any issues with previews, please refer to our fix to thumbnail preview not working in Windows 10 File Explorer guide. To get a preview (not thumbnail preview), select a PDF file and then simultaneously press Alt+P.

Method 2 of 3

Use Nitro Reader (free) to generate previews for PDF files in Windows Explorer

Nitro Reader is another free tool that you can use to enable thumbnail preview for PDF files in Windows 10 File Explorer. After downloading and installing Nitro Reader on Windows 10, set it as the default PDF reader using the Settings app or Control Panel to see preview and thumbnail preview for PDF files in Windows 10 Explorer.

Download Nitro Reader from this official page.

Method 3 of 3

PDF Preview for Windows 10 to enable PDF thumbnail preview

PDF Preview for Windows 10 is a free add-in for File Explorer to generate and show thumbnail preview for PDF files.

In addition to thumbnail preview, PDF Preview for Windows 10 utility also enables preview for PDF files in File Explorer of Windows 10. That is, you can simply select a PDF file and then click Alt + P hotkey to preview the file.

If you are wondering about password-protected PDF files, this utility can’t generate a preview for protected PDF files.

Of course, PDF Preview for Windows 10 is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. However, PDF Preview for Windows 10 doesn’t support earlier versions of Windows, such as Windows 7 and Windows 8. For Windows 7 or Windows 8, you need to download PDF Preview for Windows 7/8 software from the same developer.

Overall, PDF Preview for Windows 10 is a must-have utility if you often deal with PDF files.

How to install and use PDF Preview in Windows 10:

Step 1: Visit this official page of PDF Preview for Windows 10 and download the latest version.

Step 2: Run the setup file to get it installed. The setup automatically tries to set itself as the default PDF reader. Note that the PDF Preview must be the default PDF reader to generate thumbnails.

That’s it! Thumbnail preview and Explorer preview should now work in Windows 10 File Explorer as well as on desktop.

It’s several days now since I went to Adobe Acrobat and checked show thumbnails in preferences. The only changes I see are on the desktop where every Adobe Acrobat thumbnail is solid black with a tiny red Acrobat logo in the lower right corner.
I finally unchecked the box today and so far the thumbnails are still solid black. When I open File Explorer and look at the desktop that way, I still see the original thumbnail with Adobe Acrobat logo and color.
Is there any solution for this?

The BEST Option was Acrobat Reader DC. Had to make it default viewer for it to show thumbnails in File Manager. You need to REFRESH files and it will take a while for thumbnails to fill in so be prepared.
I couldn’t find a NITRO Reader version so perhaps its no longer available. The PDF Preview for Win10 was not as good as the Reader DC. I found it duplicitous and not as good. It seemed much slower too. You do have to set as default to make it work AND refresh browser just like Reader DC. Thank you for your page. Yes! It truly helped…

Adobe Reader doesn’t have Enable PDF thumbnail previews check box. Updated still no Check box.

Great article, why does Windows make the obvious so obscure

hours of searching how to do this! I’m glad I found this—VERY helpful! Thank you!

Bless you! I already had Adobe Reader DC installed, just needed to check enable thumbnails box, but who knew it was there. YOU DID!

I edit all my wife’s photos and save in pdf so we can create large posters for her art work. You’ve saved me HOURS of confusing record-keeping and printing out photos. WOW, you ROCK! Thanks again for this huge amount of help.

I have enabled thumbnail preview but then it slows my computer right down and the pdf hangs without opening and freezes everything else, maybe since the latest update? Any solutions – windows 10
