Acrobat files to show as thumbnails.

I would like my acrobat files to show as thumbnails on my desktop. I have CS3 and was given that option when I installed, but did not select it. Now I would like to turn it on. How do I do that? Can I do it from Reader?

  • .dng files not showing as thumbnails in Mac Finder

    Hi.
    I'm in the process of converting to Lightroom for my photos on my Mac, and when I've downloaded the sample .dng files for the tutorials I notice that they do not appear in my Mac Finder folders as thumbnails. Clearly this is a bit of a disadvantage where photo files are concerned.
    The .dng files I've downloaded all appear as identical graphical icons that look like a camera aperture.
    Is there any way to get these files to show up as thumbnails on my Mac please?
    I'm running OS X 10.9.4 on a MacBook Pro.

    They are the sample files available at the official Adobe Lightroom Support website, for use when following the official video tutorials. The metadata on them shows them to be from a Canon EOS 5D MkII.
    They can be downloaded here:- How to manage your digital photos | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tutorials If that link takes you to the overview page, they're in the block on the far left of the page, called 'Getting Started'.
    (Actually, could you possibly do me a favour and download them from there to see if they show up as thumbnails on your computer? If they specifically don't, but other .dng files do, then it would prove that it is something about the files themselves that are to blame.)

  • NEF files only show as thumbnail size in preview window

    I am using PSE 8 with Bridge CS4 and camera RAW 5.5 on MAC OS X 10.5.8
    I recently upgraded from a D80 to a D300s. when i import  RAW files into bridge from the 300s they only show up as thumbnail size in the preview window. It was fine with the D80 and JPEG's from the 300 show up large as well
    any thoughts?

    In Bridge, select the affected raw file and click Tools>>Cache>>Purge Cache for folder.
    If this does not work, you might want to increase the cache size in Bridge>>Preferences>>Cache.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

    When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail.  When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails.  If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up. 
    How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails.  I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files.  I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
    The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition.  Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer.  Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

    Bob,
    So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
    To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
    Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
    Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
    Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8.1 Professional - Explorer Thumbnails not showing

    Hi to all:
    Recently I upgraded my Acrobat professional (part of the CS3 Design Premium Package) to version 8.1., and now the thumbnails in the windows explorer on PDF files are not showing anymore (in some files). It's only showing a simple sheet with the acrobat logo inside. Is there any way to bring them back?
    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, 1.5 Gb memory and a 256 Mb. Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 Graphic card.
    Thanks in advance...

    I have the same problem mentioned in the original post of this thread. It looks like the first reply misunderstood the issue. It is this:
    In Windows Explorer on XP or Vista with Acrobat 7 (maybe 8.0 too, I don't know) the icon for a PDF file would display a thumbnail image of the first page of the PDF.
    Starting with 8.1 (it might have been 8.0, but I skipped that version) the thumbnails are not shown -- only the Acrobat icon.
    Before someone suggests it -- yes I have unchecked "Always show icons, never thumbnails" in the folder options dialog for Explorer. So that is not the problem here.
    I have read hints about a fued between Adobe and Microsoft that brought this situation about. I am disappointed that Adobe is willing to punish their customers (again) as part of this battle.
    With this and other lost features in 8.1 as well as the lack of response I have had over a licensing question, I have decided to switch to NitroPDF instead. If I have to, I'll write my own thumbnail viewer using the Foxit API.

  • When will finder show a thumbnail or preview of the raw file images from the Canon 5d mark iii?

    I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).

    I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

  • Is there a command to "Show in Finder" when looking an Adobe Acrobat file?

    Is there a command to "Show in Finder" when looking an Adobe Acrobat file?
    I have a lot of file with almost exactly the same names, and it gets very tedious to have to open Finder and search for it.

    Ah yes, your aim must be exact! Incidently, as long as we're there in the title bar, there is another little secret up there: the wee little "proxy" icon in front of the name. You can actually do things with it. For instance, you can click and hold (pause for a half of second until it turns gray), now drag it to the Desktop, and you'll get an alias to the file. If you press the Option key while you drag you'll get a new copy of the file. Wait, there's more! Say you have a Safari window open, to this page perhaps, and you want to save the Safari page to the same folder as the file you have open in Preview. Bring up the Safari save dialog sheet, grab the proxy icon on the open file, drag 'n drop it into the Safari Save navigation section, and presto, the folder the file is in will be the one displayed in the Safari save pane. You can do this with the proxy icons anywhere, including those in a Finder window. So if you have a folder open, you can drag its proxy icon into the save or open navigation section of a program, and there you are. Saves you time navigating to something you already have open in one place (the Finder) from your program. I use it all the time.

    I have had this problem also ever since I updated to 5.3,  I think it is a major bug!
    At random the preview window on the left doesnt show the preview of the presets anymore when I hover them, and when I click back and forth to other images it suddenly starts working again, its a very annoying problem and I cannot believe that Adobe isnt aware of it yet!

  • Starting today, Firefox will not open Adobe Acrobat files in Adobe Reader, despite my putting Reader as default in Applications tab.

    Until today, I had no trouble opening Adobe Acrobat files with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an old version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express that does not recognize later versions.) Starting this morning, when I click on an Acrobat file, I am asked which program I want to open it with. Even when I click "Do this automatically...", it doesn't do so. It asks me every time. I went into Tools, Applications, and changed all of the pdf related issues to open with Adobe Reader 9.5. This also doesn't work.

    What I did was to reinstall/upgrade Adobe Reader, then there is an new option showing up in Firefox > options > applications > Portable Document Format(PDF), which is "use adobe acrobat in Firefox". Choose this one, then I managed again to open PDF files with Adobe Reader internally in Firefox.

  • Video files not showing up in FR

    Hi all, this is my first Mac. So far I'm loving it, God only knows why I didn't make the switch sooner.
    Most of my video-library consists of the following video file types; .avi, .mov, .mpg and .mpg.
    Reading some topics, I found that as long as QT could play these files given the proper codecs, FR would have no problem playing them, too.
    So I looked around and found out about Perian - worked to perfection, QT can now play all files.
    Problem is, when I place any type of file, including .mov's, in the proper Movies folder it does not show up in FR. The only way I can get files to show up in FR is to add them via iTunes, and the only files I can add to iTunes are .mov's and .mpg's.
    Does anyone know why my Movies folder is not "in sync" with FR?

    There you go. The other user short name! I never tried that, because I assumed the Movies folder that was in the sidebar from default would be the one. But yeah, all I did was create a Movies folder in the user short name (since there wasn't one to begin with) and voila! Thanks a lot!
    And about making saves as reference movies - thanks for that advice, it's been very helpful in getting me started organizing my digital video library.
    Still have some qualms about FR, though. The way videos are organized ... been playing with it for several hours today and here are some of my issues:
    I like to keep my stuff organized ... I like the fact that I have the option of using either FR or iTunes (cover flow), so that's the route I'm taking using both. Already, things get complicated.
    My video media is basically in three groups: movies, TV shows and music (music videos, concerts, etc.).
    First off, I've decided to use the FR-designated Movies folder only for saved movie references. This is to avoid clutter, so the actual files are not in the Movies folder. Is this a wise idea? I'll tell you the basis for this decision.
    When I first started organizing the files I found that any video placed in the Movies folder shows up in FR under .... yup, Videos->Movies. Be it music videos or anything TV shows. I don't like that. For everything that's not categorized as a movie, I'd like for those files to end up in their proper sub-menu in FR, but they don't. In iTunes, they are all in their proper place, because I've edited all the info so it looks neat and orderly.
    Is there a way around that? What I've done to make it seem cleaner, is in the Movies folder with all the saved reference movies, I've organized it like this:
    (user short name)/Movies/
    - Movie A, Movie B, Movie C
    - Other (folder containing all non-movies video files)
    So all the files in Other has been correctly arranged via iTunes, so these files show up in the correct sub-menu in FR.
    What I mean is that they show up twice in FR, once because they're in the Movies folder and then another time (this is what I want), because I've directed them to a specific category via iTunes, e.g. music videos. I only want them to show up once, not in sub-menu Movies of FR, but either TV Shows or Music Videos ... make any sense?
    Please don't tell me it isn't possible, or maybe advice me a better way to organize it.
    Also, I'm having trouble getting some files to play. They play fine in QT, but if I change some info in iTunes they won't play in FR ... and the preview thumbnail is just black.
    And lastly, wow ... there is a lot of load time, when you start FR up ... it's weird, sometimes there is none, sometimes I'll have to wait two minutes once I've gone by the main menu. I thought using saved movie references would help the load time, since the actual library is not in the designated FR-folder.
    That's basically it for now ... 1) organizational troubles 2) playback troubles and 3) load time.
    So far, you guys have helped me solve my issue, hope you will again!
    Love Mac!

  • Acrobat X page shows small page image at top right of screen. Need to remove

    Acrobat X on Windows 8.1.  Recently Acrobat has started showing a small representation of the current page at the top right of the screen. I don't need this and would like to kill it permanently in all files. For example apart from blocking some text, it prevents me deleting a page unless I x it off. I have looked through all menus and searched on-line. Help appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi jonrichco,
    This representation appears while scrolling up/down a PDF file. You can just close it by clicking at the 'cross' mark on the right side of this small window.
