Adobe PDF thumbnails show as icons
SusanT 11.07.2007 13:02:03
I have a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. When I transferred files from
my old XP SP2 laptop, initially the PDF's showed as a thumbnail of the file,
not as an Adobe icon. Now, all of them show the Adobe icon and not the
thumbanil.

How do I fix this? I've spent hours looking for and trying different
suggestions. I do have the "show icon, never thumbnail" option UNCHECKED;
I'm letting Vista choose the best settings for the system; I've downloaded
Reader 8; I've downloaded Reader 8.1, which was supposed to have a PDF
previewer, etc., etc.

If I've missed anything obvious, please let me know! All I want is to be
able to see the thumbnail of the PDF file, like I did in XP SP2. I can't use
Acrobat 6.0 anymore with Vista, even in XP SP2 compatibility mode; tried a
trial of Acrobat 8 and that didn't fix the "problem."

If there's a registry hack to fix this, please send it to me -- I'm not
squeamish about making changes in the registry.

Thanks for any help anyone can send my way!
