Adobe Reader PDF Desktop Icons No Longer Thumbnail Images

Hi...
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 - and thanks to a fix for this I found somewhere a while ago, it's been working fine for the longest time. In the past week, I see that my Adobe Reader desktop icons are no longer thumbnail images - they are back to the old standard Reader icons. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Adobe Reader - unapplying / reapplying this x64 thumbnails fix - and combinations of the two. Nothing has worked thus far.
Does anyone have a suggestion / fix / etc. on how I can get my PDF icons back to the thumbnail images - NOT the standard gray .PDF reader icons?
Thanks so much!
Andy

Hi Jnicholas330,
I need your XFA form file to investigate the issue. I sent a separate mail to you.
Thank you.

How do you use Gmail: as webmail in a browser (what browser), or in an email client (which)?
Also what exactly means "cant open them properly"?

For the "why", you'd have to ask Adobe. If you are looking for a solution, this may be helpful:

All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

Problem printing from Adobe Reader .pdf with Brother printer from a Mac

I have a macbook pro with Intel Core i7 and OS X Yosemite and Brother MFC-7360N printer connected by wifi. My problem is that I can print everything from all programs except from the Adobe Reader .pdf that do I print from my Preview files .. The error I get is "Error filter". Does anyone know where can originate the error and how to fix it?

With another O.S. in another computer is OK.
Thank you

Opening Adobe Reader PDF

Four months ago I wrote that when I tried to open Adobe Reader PDF for any reason, Photoshop Elements 4 took over and Adobe Reader was opened in PE4.
I was given advice toopen and check in a word document my file association and to "tell" the system to open in Adobe PDF format. I did that but whenever I open Adobe PDF for any reason (the last occasion was to download my travel insurance from Insure and Go), PE4 opens and Adobe PDF has to be printed from inside that programme. Nothing has changed.
I want Adobe Reader PDF to open in its own format, and I want to stop Adobe Reader PDF being opened inside the PE4 programme. How do I do it?
I do not want to get rid of PE4 as I use it extensively for photography. But I want it to stay with photos and stop opening for documents like my travel insurance. Thank you. Rod Colyer

How do I convert a JPEG file to an Adobe Reader (PDF) file?

Please help me. I have scanned an image of a text in a book. The scanned image is automatically uploaded into a JPEG file. How do I convert this into a PDF file?

None of the free Adobe Reader products provide the capability of converting image files (e.g. jpeg, gif, png) to PDF.
You can either use
Acrobat XI Pro or Standard - Scan to PDF
Adobe PDF Pack (formerly known as CreatePDF): online subscription service - JPEG to PDF Converter
You may find some free non-Adobe apps or online services. But the quality of PDF output may vary.
Unless you use OCR (Optical Character Recognition), the scanned image of text will not be recognized as real text. So you will not be able to highlight text, for example.

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document?

I can't affix my valid digital signature to adobe reader pdf document. When the signature field is clicked, it is not showing my digital ID so that I can sign with it. Why it is not displaying my valid digital ID?

What is your operating system? What is your Reader version? What means "can not"?
Can you post a screenshot of such a message "to buy Adobe XI"?

When printing from Reader, select Document instead of Document and Markups:

Adobe Create PDF desktop

I can not print docs to PDF after installing the Adobe Create PDF desktop.

Hi Mark ,
Instead of a physical printer, you can select Adobe PDF in almost any Windows or Mac OS application.
Follow the steps mentioned below.
Open a file in a Windows application.
Choose File > Print.
Choose Adobe PDF as the printer in the Print dialog box.
Click Print.
For info please refer to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/print-to-pdf.html

How do I modify an Adobe Reader pdf file?

Hello,
I am trying to fill out a work application that is an Adobe Reader pdf file.
But I can not figure out how to select the fields and modify the pdf, so that I can save and print.
Please help,
Thanks!

> A university course expected an assignment to be completed on a pdf template downloadable from online site, a specific word count was given or penalties apply
Ok.
> however when edited with student content, the word count did not change.
What do you mean "edited". Edited how - just typing in form fields?
Where do you get the word count?
> Is this hypotheses correct? the student should purchase the pdf writer in order to complete fields correctly.
Not possible to say at this stage. (The "writer" product by the way is
called Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Professional, if it turns out you
do need it..
>I cannot find references anywhere about word count in the knowledge base or FAQ.
From my point of view, this is because it isn't something Reader does.
But clearly it does something - so... what does it do?

Pulling Images From Adobe Reader PDF File

I was sent some artwork in a Adobe Reader PDF. How do I pull the images out of it to use? Thanks.

Don't know that you can with Reader. You should ask in the Reader forum that is linked at the top of this forum. In Acrobat it is easy, but Reader does not have the editing capabilities of Acrobat and it is probably not directly possible.

How does Adobe create a desktop icon when I open a web pdf document, and how can I get it to stop?

I am finding a host of pdf file icons cluttering up the desktop when I exit the Web after researching a topic. I have saved some files with the 'save as' feature, but there is nothing else I have done.
I have looked through the usual properties, options looking for clues for this automatic program, to choose a different one... and have yet to find anything indicating this program or process.
How is this happening and how can I stop it?
Thank you!

Thanks for your interest in helping- This system has Firefox (whatever is recent) , Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Reader XI.
While on the Web, I have opened, perused, then saved docs to file using 'save as' option in the browser; and on closing the browser, I see numbers of pdf shortcuts on the desktop.
Also, this kind of thing has occurred inconsistently, so there has been nothing "usual" in my actions to which I can attribute these icons.
Sorry - I delete them and clean out the recycle bin, or I'd be able to tell you whether these were shortcuts or the actual files. I'm trying to resurrect the image in my mind, and I believe they may have been the docs, not simply shortcuts...
Thank you for your time!
