The PDF-Xchange is a real 64bit app. If you have a look at your task manager when it's running you won't see the "*32" nesxt to "PDFXCview.exe". You will see it next to all the acrobat files, though.

I've got the FoxIt preview handler working on this Vista 64 machine, so I guess it is possible to do.

I've been trying to track down how this thumbnail problem works, simply because I'm not happy with having to do computer voodoo to get something to work. :) No real luck so far, except for noticing that a 64bit app called "dllhost" runs while the PDF thumbnails are being generated. I'm guessing that it hosts the 32 bit thumbnail generator, but I really don't know.

Regretfully, I find myself moving further away from Acrobat due to the 64 bit issues. PDF-Xchange never shows that blank area, no scrollbar, etc, problem that Acrobat does on 64 bit. Bluebeam's PDF Revu handles most editing and includes a print to PDF driver. It's kind of sad to see Adobe lose ground simply by not fixing problems.
