(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.

Have you looked at the Acrobat 7 Organizer? ;}

Wow, it was right in front of my eyes and I didn't realize it! Thank you 
VERY much for the suggestion. I had never even heard of Organizer, 
notwithstanding the fact that I always try to browse through all the menu 
items when I get a new/upgraded piece of software. Organizer does just what 
I need. I can make the Preview large enough to see the content, and when I 
click on 'Show in Explorer' I can rename the document easily. You (and 
Acrobat 7) have saved me a lot of time and effort.

Your welcome, I just wish it allowed renaming or changing the Metadata 
without opening the file.  Maybe next version.

Actually, I was just about to complain about the renaming issue. Even though 
I can preview the file, I still cannot rename it without opening it. Oh, 
well...
