PDF Preview Handler for Outlook 2007

March 26th, 2007 By Vaibhav | 47 Comments » Tags: ,

Here is something that I have been waiting for a long time. Ryan Gregg has gone ahead and written a free handler which works if you have Adobe Reader 7.x or later installed. I have tested it with Adobe Reader 8.0 and it works like a dream. The handler can be downloaded here. Thank you Ryan for the effort.

For those who don’t like Adobe Reader, Scott Hanselman has mentioned about a preview handler that uses FoxIT PDF reader here.

Update: I have had a lot of requests for this Handler, and finally instead of emailing, I am uploading it on the Internet. It can be downloaded here: PDF Preview Handler

    Does anybody knows where to report it or what to do to workaround this and download the software? I would like to test it.

      That is strange. I suggest you uninstall it then. Since there is obviously some incompatibility in your setup (or you could try reinstalling Acrobat reader).

      There is nothing much that I can do to help in this case. Sorry.

    Hi,
    I can see this article is still active which is great.

    Can I have this too please?

    My one doesn’t work since I restored backup from vista to 7. I couldn’t be bothered with new settings, but I forgot I had a problem with PDF preview handler. The restored backup restored the problem :]

    I downloaded the Preview Handler but haven’t installed. Will it work with Windows 7?
