Adobe PDF preview handler error after install Reader XI

I have received a notification that an update to Reader XI is available.  After the installation M/S outlook could not preview all PDF files with the error:
This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
Adobe PDF Preview Handler
To open this file in its own program, double-click it.
My system = Windows XP / Outlook 2007
What should I do?

I know this thread is pretty old, but JIC - Try disabling internet auto-detect:
Open Adobe Reader
Go to Edit menu>Preferences
Click Internet, then Internet Settings
Click LAN Settings
Uncheck the box “Automatically detect settings”
Click OK buttons and close Adobe

    No. Reader will not damage files. It is only meant to read pdf files. PDF files are frequently damaged when sent as email due to encoding issues.

  • Adobe PDF Preview Handler Issue in WIndows 8 64 Bit Machine - After installing Adobe Pro 11.0.10

    Hi Guys ,
    We are facing a serious issue with Windows 8 and Adobe PDF Preview Handler . We are using the PDFPrevHndlr.dll from Adobe to show PDF Previews in our application. It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista and for some reason it is not working in Windows 8.1 64 bit machines after upgrading to Adobe Pro 10.0.10 .  Please help us figure out what is the root cause of this issue .
    During a close analysis we have found that the PrevHost.exe( Windows component ) is failing soon after it is being invoked . Any help in this is much appreciated.
    Regards

  • Win 7 32 bit Adobe PDF preview handler issues (NOT 64 bit issue)

    No previews available in Outlook or Explorer (for documents in folders). Investigation shows the Vista preview handler installed.  repeated reinstall of Reader changes nothing.
    Attempts to use the registry hack provided on several sites for W7 64 do not work (because this is 32 bit)  Download site correctly identifies the OS as Win 7.. What to do? Thank you. 

    I have fifteen minutes to mark this as a question, despite the fact that no question link or icon exists. Adobe?

  • Again after last patch: Windows 64 - PDF preview handler not working

    Adobe's PDF preview handler doesn't work unter Windows XP/Vista/7 64 bit. Because of that PDF preview e.g. in Windows explorer or MS Outlook isn't displaying PDF preview.
    This issue has been discussed in this forum some months ago, and this page gives a solution that has helped:
    http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/index.html#fixer
    Instead of fixing this well-known issue with the last patch Adobe decided again not to fix. And after installing the patch you have to repair PDF preview handler again...

  • Error in PDF preview Handler in Windows Explorer x32

    I'm running Windows 7, 32 bit. and I get this error when trying to view a pdf in the preview pane "Error in PDF Preview Handler". I have Adobe Reader X installed, and have re-installed it with no  help.
    I've read many problems about this, but everyone else is running 64 bit. I'm running 32.
    Any help please. Thank you

    Yes - sorry !
    I solved my problem with the exchange of the UNC path against drive letters for the folders in
    Administration - System initialisation - General settings - Tab Path
    Before:
    sbo-data\ruk\attachemnts
    After: E:\ruk\attachements (E: is a local drive of the server and we run B1 via Windows Terminal Client on the same machine)
    Before I did this, I checked the user rights on the paths, checked the DNS, hosts file, etc.

  • I cannot open pdf documents after installing Reader XI

    Hi I have just installed Adobe Reader Xl. I now cannot open any pdf document - the screen is blank and closes after about 10 seconds. When running the trouble-shooter it states there is a compatibility issue. I have re-installed, I have looked at my internet options settings but still cannot resolve the issue. Do you have any suggestions? I am running Windows 7 and Norton 360 Premier Edition software.  Regards Doug

    Interesting that when I installed ReaderXI I wasn't asked to accept terms.

    After installing a Seagate Thin 500GB SSHD into my Late 2008 MacBook Pro, I would get errors after my computer had been asleep for several hours.  The error codes end with -50.  I thought that limiting the speed of the drive with a jumper would work, but it hasn't.

  • PDF Preview Handler Not Working in Outlook 2010

    I have Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Outlook 2010.
    Everything was working fine, until a few months ago when the PDF Preview Handler stopped working. I got the typical message that others were having with the issue with Adobe Reader 9. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro and have also used Adobe Reader X. I have tried the little registry fix app that is supposed to fix this issue, but it states that my registry is already correct. Has anyone found a resolution for this issue with Acrobat X and Outlook 2010? As a workaround I am using the Foxit PDF Preview Handler, but I have to reinstall it everytime Adobe Reader or Acrobat is udpated as for some reason Outlook then reverts back to the PDF Preview Handler, which is not working.
    Thanks,
    Merg

    Nope, using 32-bit. And I recently uninstalled Acrobat Pro completely and reinstalled it due to an issue with it not updating due to having the "Error Applying Transforms" issue. After I reinstalled, I updated it completely. I suppose I can try uninstalling and reinstalling again, but that seems like overkill.
