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.

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...

Hi Sree,
According to your description, your case related to Adobe PDF Preview Handler. This is third-party product. I am afraid this is out of our support. Please ask in their special forum

By the way, after do some search, it seems not working for 64bit machine,
>> It is working fine in Windows 7 and Vista
Also work fine in win7/vista 64bit????
If your scenario is not working in 64bit machine, try to put "adobe pdf preview handler 64-bit fix" in search engine. Good luck.
Have a nice day!

- Adobe PDF Preview Handler version 10.1.0.534
The issue we have is the the PDF Preview Handler does not work within Outlook2010. We get a error to say the previewer is not available.
I have tried the following:
- Re-registered the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\PDFPrevHndlr.dll
- Resinstalled Acrobat X
- Tried installing the latest PDFPrevHndlr.dll file available.
- Tried installing a wide range of older versions of the PDFPrevHndlr.dll file available.
I was not able to resolve the issue. I would be grateful is anyone can supply me with a fix or let me know if this is a known problem withy Adobe Acrobat X

Acrobat X is not supported on Citrix Presentation Server 4.5

Infopath form people picker not working in outlook 2010

Hi,
I have created custom task form which has reassign feature. If the form is opened in IE, people editor control is working but in outlook account names are not resolved and dictionary also not working. There should be some work around as OOTB approval
task form could able to do it.
So, Question is, why people picker is not working in Outlook? and how to make it work? If I store user profile in InfoPath form, people editor in outlook is working. but how to make a dynamic soap connection ?
Thanks.

Don't mark your own post as an answer when you obviously didn't understand the question...
Dharnima mentioned it is working in IE but not working in Outlook, so it's obviously not because the
"Requested By" field is in read only otherwise it wouldn't work in IE either.
Like Navid.R mentionned, the problem is indeed when going through the "Reassign Task" button, but coming from Outlook.
I have the same problem where the people picker validator and the people directory button doesn't work, only when coming from Outlook. I do click on Reassign Task, but I am unable to valide or open the people directory with both people picker buttons, simply
nothing happens.
I tried adding a native SharePoint Approval workflow to my list, and this one works fine. I can click the "Open Task" button in Outlook, click "Reassign Task" and then the people picker works perfectly fine.
However my custom workflow (that has default forms) does not work when prompted from Outlook.
I even tried to delete both forms and republish my workflow, so SharePoint can regenerate the forms by itself, it did generate new forms, but no luck either.

Windows 2012R2 RDS - Outlook 2013 preview handler not working

Hello,
We have an Windows 2012R2 RDS environment with Outlook 2013 installed. Currently we are experiencing some issues with the preview handler for non-administrator users. With an Administrator account it is working without issues.
All users that open WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT or other office applications see the following error:
This file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer:
Word/Excel/Powerpoint
To open this file in its own program, double-click it.
Other programs like Windows Media Player (voicemail messages), Image viewer, Notepad are working.
Any idea what we can do to make this work?
Thanks.
Max

Hi Max,
Thanks for your information.
After doing some research, this behavior might be related a DCOM permission. I suggest checking this point:
1. Go to Component Services and Open it.
2. Expand Component Services, click on Computers, then right click on My Computer and go to “properties".
3. Click on Default Properties tab, and make sure the following is set:
Default Authentication Level: Connect
Default Impersonation Level: Identify
If it’s a permission issue, we can use process monitor to get the logs.
[Process Monitor Report]
=================
Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity.
To collect the process monitor, please refer to the following steps.
a) On the machine which we will reproduce the issue, download Process Monitor from the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
b) Extract the ZIP file, start Outlook in safe mode, stop all other applications and operation in Outlook, then run Processmon.exe
c) While Process Monitor is running, click the microscope icon in the toolbar to stop the capture (CTRL+E) and clear the initial logs (CTRL+X).
d) In Outlook, reproduce the issue by click the “Copy to my Calendar”, then start the capture (CTRL+E).
e) Save (File -> Save ) the Process Monitor log and upload the log file (Logfile.PML) to me.
You can send the log file to this email account:

Previewer not working in Outlook 2010

I have a windows xp machine that is unable to preview pdf files in outlook. I get the error adobe pdf previewer failed to start. I can prefiew other files like excel and word documents. and when other users log onto the machine they have the same problem. The computer used to run Office 2007 but I upgraded to Office 2010 and it still has the same issue. I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled from the web site and still the same problem.

Have you opened Reader by itself and accepted the End User License Agreement?

Acrobat 9.5.1.283 Preview Handler not working

Windows XP Professional - fully patched.
Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1.283 - fully updated.
AcroReader 10.1.3.23
When trying to view the preview within Windows Explorer, it indicates that the "Preview is not available".
Is it necessary to enable the Preview Handler and if so, what is that process? If it worked in the past and no longer works now, what would need to be done to re-enable this option?
Large number of stored PDFs with names that do not define the content of the documents are causing a great strain on using the PDF format.
Please assist if at all possible.
Regards,
Larry W.

You should do the install as the administrator and with anti-virus disabled. Usually the error indicates the patch could not be opened (may be corrupt or not in an accessable folder -- using the administrator might help here). When this happens it is often best to just download the updates (but do a repair first with Help>Repair) from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install them in order.
There are instructions for downloading the install at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1061905. However, you still need the SN. You should always backup your downloads to a CD or backup HD when you purchase such products. You should not expect the files to be around online indefinitely. Be sure you also record the SN for the future.

Crystal 2008 not working with outlook 2010 mapi when exporting

I recently had service pack 3 and fix pack 3.3 updated to my system ( crystal 2008) to help correct a issue with mapi not populating addresses from outlook when trying to export a report. I have a new issue. - sort of???
Now when I try to export multiple reports in a row I still have the same issue. I can send 1 report out. But if i try to send another report out i have the same issue that I had with mapi not populating the addresses field from outlook.
To get past this I shut down crystal and then bring it back up and I can send (ONE) report again before the same thing happens. Does anyone know if there is fix for this issue?
Fyi - this has nothing to do with the design of my report. The problem lies with how Crystal is communicating with mapi when trying to allowi a 2nd report to be exported. I am not using any outside programs, only crystal 2008 version and trying to export my report through mapi (outlook 2010 (in PDF format). As stated above with the above fixpack - I was able to restore exporting but now I can only export 1 report at a time.
When I select a 2nd report to export (after just sending out my 1st) the mapi function will not allow me to select addresses. So while the fix pack (from the website) restored some functionality it only allows 1 report at a time.

Hi Max,
It works for me. I get the Allow for 1 minute box and then I export again and same thing.... works...
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit at home. It just installed SP 1 so that may be the difference also but I don't recall this being a problem before.
I also don't see this being a CR problem, if it works once then something else is blocking the MAPI permission box. Check your anti-virus logs, could be it things a trojan is taking over your address book and blocking the second attempt. The AV logs should show you if something was blocked. Or disconnect from your network/disable network cards and disable your AV and test again.
Do you have any other tool that allows you to export? If you install Winzip or WinRAR it adds a feature that allows you to right click on any file, save the PDF to disk and then test using the zip tool to see if that works for you. If not it's definitely your AV or possibly Firewall software blocking the pop up.
Thanks again
Don

TAPIOVERRIDE not working w/Outlook 2010 64-bit & Lync 2013 64-bit

Hi all,
I have a Win7 64-bit machine with Office 2010 Standard 64-bit and Lync 2013 64-bit. The user would like to use the Windows Dialer instead of Lync to call from his Outlook contacts. Prior to my installing Lync for him, this worked very well. However, thereafter
Lync attempts to do the calling.
There are dozens of threads out there for using the TAPIOVERRIDE registry fix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959625/en-us) to correct this issue, but it is not working for me and I assume it's due to my combination of application versions. I've confirmed
both approaches (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\... -vs- HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\...) fail to work even after rebooting entirely - for the record, I would assume the "32-bit approach" is what I need.
Has anyone gotten the TAPIOVERRIDE fix to work with the aforementioned software versions? Can anyone else make a recommendation on a TAPI add-in for Outlook which would inherently override Lync's calling functionality?
Thanks!

Aaron0001,
Good news. As an Office365 subscriber, I was able to open a service ticket on this issue, and I believe we've got a solution. As it turns out, these Call Integration/TAPIOVERRIDE keys do work (as a precaution, I created both); however, it appears
they have to be in-place when you install Lync to have any effect. I'm guessing that these keys may impact how Lync installs, but have no effect if Lync is already installed.
I had uninstalled Lync so that I could use Outlook with Windows dialer ... dialing functionality was restored as soon as I uninstalled Lync. However, when I got online with the Microsoft technician he had me reinstall Lync 64bit (after the keys had
already been created) and, presto, Outlook is still using Windows dialer rather than contacting Lync to try to place the call.
I hope this is helpful to you, or to anyone else who happens upon this page with the same problem.
All the best,
Kevin

Hyperlinks in PDF preview do not work

Hyperlinks in the preview PDF files that people first see when they click a Send link do not work. Can this possibly be fixed? Some users may not want to go through the hassle of downloading the document and want to be able to use the full document from the preview screen.

You have to create one or more Character Styles to populate that menu.
Format some text the way you want your hyperlinks to look, (color, underline, etc.). With your newly formatted text selected, go to the Character Styles panel (if it's not visible, press Shift+F11), and choose New Character Style from the panel menu. Give it a name like "hyperlink" and click OK.
Now, when you create or edit hyperlinked text, your Character Styles menu will include the character style you created, in addition to [None].

Rules not working in Outlook 2010 Sent Items folder (Personal Folder)

I've been trying to automatically categorize and send emails I've written and sent to the archive's Sent Items folder. However, everytime I create a rule for a particular type of email it doesn't carry it out. The rule will only work when I manually
click 'Run this rule now...'.
Here is what my rule looks like:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
from Byron33
and sent to 'XXX'
and with 'YYY' in the subject'
assign it to the 'ZZZ' category
and move it to the Sent Items folder (here, 'Sent Items' is in the Archive section)
But it doesn't work. All my other rules work (for the inbox folder). Any way in which I can get this rule to function automatically?

Hi
Thank you for using

Bug: Auto-archive does not work in Outlook 2010

The Auto-Archive feature does not seem to work. In my case, I'm creating a mail folder in my inbox and setting the auto archival to "2 weeks, then delete". I run Auto Archival manually. It seems to progress without any error, but I know better.
It should take the process more than a few minutes to process the mail I have stored up for almost a year. No error and my mail has been untouched.
I noticed this thread in the Outlook 2010 beta forums
I'm having the same issue. I'd like this bug fixed if possible? I keep archival folders to manage my mail.

Hi Canovac,
Auto Archive works as expected in my environment. I noticed you said that you created a new mail folder in your inbox. Did you just create the folder and move the mail to that folder? Auto archive looks at modified date and if you
move the mail to that folder that changed the modified date so the mail will not archive.
To determine the modified date, do the following:
While on the folder in question:
Click View > View Settings > Columns
In the Select available columns from dropdown choose
All Mail Fields locate Modifed in the Available colums: and click
Add
If the mail has not been modified within the last two week span, please test the following for me.
Start Outlook with the /safe switch and then run Auto-Archive.
Does auto-archive work when starting with the /safe switch?
