(In Windows XP Pro, running Acrobat 7 Pro)

When I click on the icon for an Adobe Acrobat file, I get a thumbnail
preview of the first page of the file. The preview is much too small to
read. Is there any way I can get a larger preview (even if I need to use
additional software)?

Why do I need to do this? When I scan documents in bulk, they are converted
to PDF's and a default nonsense file name (made up of the date and time) is
assigned. In order to rename the documents with a meaningful name, I must
open each document to inspect its content, then close it and name it (or do
a 'Save As'). If I could get a large enough preview, I could name the
document without opening it, which would save me the bulk of the time it
currently takes me to identify and name a scanned image. Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
