PDF Preview Handler for Outlook 2007

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.

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

  8. I’m sorry, but it now locks up my OUTLOOK session.

    • 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.
