PDF Preview handler error with outlook 2013 on RDS 2012R2

Anyone had any issues with outlook x64 2013 office and "PDF Preview handler", we are running adobe 11 with server 2012 R2. CHecked all the recommended reg settings are correct:
"Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
However still prompted with "this file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer: PDF Preview handler"
Also causes a popup box to say an internal error has occurred.
Loads fine when you double click the attachement.

Hello i got nearly the same problem. Selecting the .pdf attachment in outlook. error code says that no preview can be showed, because the needed preview isn't installed.
Server 2012 R2 as Terminalserver, Outlook 2013, newest version of adobe reader XI.
I've already checked the following:
- outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling .. the box disable preview is clear .. furthermore outlook>options>trustcenter>trustcenter settings>attachment handling>attachment and documentpreview .. all
boxes including pdf preview handler are filled.
- adobe reader XI>edit>presettings?>e-mail-account ... outlook is standart.
- Registryentry: "Change the AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
- also i repaired the adobe installation and i reinstalled it a few times.
- even checked the access-rights on the temp. directorys outlook uses for attachments and the users have full access.
i have no more clue what it can be..
so may you have the solution for me or at least some tips.
Thanks,
Nikolai

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.

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.

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.

PDF previewer not working in Outlook

All,
I have recently updated to Adobe reader 11.0.10, I can now open the documents I was not able to open, but the previewer in Outlook stopped working. The error I get is that the doc is not supported by my currect reader and that I have to upgrade to the latest
version. I have done everything that people suggest on the web - trust center settings, etc., but I have not been successful. Has anyone encountered the same issue and do we have a solution?
Any help is greatly appreciated
My details: Win 7 Ent / 32 bit / Office 2010 / Adobe reader 11.0.10
Thanks

Hi,
Have you checked if the PDF Preview Handler is available and shows as enabled in File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Attachment Handling > Attachment and Document Previewers?
Which format of file are you previewing in Outlook? Please first make sure the format is supported by Adobe reader. You can verify this by consulting the Adobe Reader support. If the file type is supported by Adobe Reader, please open Control Panel,
find and click Default Programs >
Associate a file type or protocol with a program, then locate the file format and make sure
Adobe Reader is set as the default program for the file type.
If it's not a PDF document that you want to preview, we can also try to preview a PDF attachment to see if it works fine. If this issue continues when previewing a PDF attachment in Outlook, I'd recommend we uninstall and then reinstall the Adobe reader
to see the result.
Please let me know the result.

PDF Preview Handler will not open 1 file

Hi,
I have Office 2013 and Acrobat XI, the PDF Handler works fine on all my files except one.
Through our online ordering, I get a confirmation email with E-Order.pdf with every confirmation, worked for a while and now gives me the
"This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer
PDF Preview Handler
To open this file in its own program, double-click it."
If I go to any other PDF attachment it works fine.
Thanks
Gregg

Hi Anubha,
Yes I do have the latest version of Acrobat 11, 11.0.10.
I have tried turning the PDF Handler off and back on, that didn’t fix it.
I also installed Reader 11 and that did not fix it.
If there is something else I can try please let me know.
Thanks

Problem using the e-mail button in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 with Outlook 2013

I just switched my e-mail application from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2013.
I have always been able to click the e-mail button in Acrobat 7.1.0 to open a blank e-mail message with the PDF file attached.
I keep getting an error now that I have Outlook 2013.
It says "You need to create a Microsoft Outlook profile. In Microsoft Windows, go to the Control Panel and open Mail. Click Show Profiles, and then click Add"
Then, when I click on the OK button it says "Acrobat is unable to log in to your email application. Please check your account settings and try again."
I have checked and I have one profile in Control Panel called Outlook. Outlook is set as my default e-mail program.
I tried using a 3rd party PDF reader (Foxit Reader) and the e-mail button works as expected (opens a new message with the PDF attached).
I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit with Outlook 2013 32-bit (this was what was recommended by Microsoft on the Office download site).
I would appreciate help anyone can provide to fix this problem.
Thank you.

It may be a similar issue, but not the same issue. This is not the Reader forum, but if you are worried about the compatibility it is a simple matter to upgrade your Reader to AR XI. The original post had to do with a cost product, not the free Reader.
For AA7, the PDF Maker of AA7 is not compatible with Outlook 2013 as suggested. You should still be able to open most PDFs, but to create a PDF from Outlook you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or upgrade to AA XI.

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...

Acrobat XI email attachment does not appear to work with Outlook 2013 64 bit

When attempting to send email from Acrobat, the following Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 64 bit error message is received:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client."
Naturally, Outlook was set as default client and then reset for good measure. I did both Outlook and Acrobat repairs and have the latest 11.0.2 installed. All other internal Office 2013 email applications work as well as seemingly all other embedded Acrobat funcitions with Office 2013 work well. Office 2010 64 bit and Acrobat X worked fine. I upgraded to Office 2013 64 bit and had the problem with Acrobat X. I then upgraded to Acrobat XI and the issue remained.
Most importantly, I intalled Office 2013 64 bit on my laptop with Acrobat X. An the email attachment function works perfectly.
So, is there some sort of corrupt MAPI file that I have to overwrite on my desktop that the Ofice and Acrobat repair functions do not fix?
Thanks,
Joe

I am sorry. In my haste, not only did I attach the link the wrong way, but I also did not specify which solution worked. My problem was a Click to Run issue. The portion of the thread that deals with the problem is:
"HurdleRemove replied on May 16, 2013
I created a solution for this problem for 64 bit Windows 8 where Outlook 2013 was installed as Click-To-Run.......
......A registry edit will fix the problem with Outlook 2013 click to run installations and enable Outlook to be set as the default mail client. This registry edit will for many third party programs eliminate the error "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client." It worked to resolve the problem where Adobe Acrobat was generating this error.
The registry edit is here for Office 2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to be recognized by third party applications:
1. Create registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
2. Create String value:
Bitness
3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
x64
This registry edit is an essential element necessary to resolve the click to run problem that prevents Outlook 2013 from being set as the default mail client. Although it worked with Adobe Acrobat, it will not completely resolve the problem for some third party applications like Kerio Outlook Connecter where the software developer has a web site that includes extra steps necessary for a full resolution for the Kerio product. The Kerio web site includes this registry edit in the context of resolving the Office 365 problem. However, the registry edit works with Office 2013 desktop as well. A similar register edit could likely be made for 32 bit versions but the registry path would not include Wow6432Node. I do not have a 32 bit machine and cannot test a 32 bit solution."

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.
