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.
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.

You are welcome

I’m sorry, but it now locks up my OUTLOOK session.
June 23rd, 2009 at 10:15 pm
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 :]
October 21st, 2009 at 11:41 pm
So, do you still need it? You said the restored backup solved your problem.
Let me know and I will email it.
Cheers.
