On a Windows 7 Pro 32bit machine that had Acrobat Reader 9.2 installed the PDF thumbnail preview worked great... until NitroPDF was installed. Once NitroPDF was installed all we got were icons instead of thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer. -Clearing the icon cache via the Windows 7 disk cleanup utility did not help -Checking and then unchecking the 'never show previews' in Windows explorer did not help -Uninstalling PrimoPDF and uninstalling Acrobat Reader and reinstalling did not help -Setting Acrobat Reader back at the default PDF reader by changing the files associations (including .AcrobatSecurity .FDF .PDF .PDFXML .PDX .XDP .XFDX) After all of these attempts to correct the problem we do have some thumbnail preview functionality but it is not 100%. We even tried installing the latest Acrobat Reader 9.2 but no joy. I have seen plenty of complaints about Windows 7 64bit and this problem but none about Windows 7 32bit. I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on how to solve this PDF thumbnail preview problem. If nothing else, let this be a warning to you not to use NitroPDF! Thank you!
