How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane. If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing. Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit. When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use. If they save as a different name, it works. Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane. They don't use the preview pane. I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save. But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
use it without problems.

What is the solution to save over a file with Windows Explorer preview pane open?

(This is a stagnant issue in an alternate thread and did not address the issue directly.) Every time I make a minor change to a document, I am forced to write a new file to save it. This is cumbersome, annoying and wasteful. I am an architect and I quite regularly need to have several windows explorer windows and pdf files open at once when coordinating information from several different places. It is not practical for me to turn off my preview pane or close every explorer window. How can I avoid saving every document new even when making a minor change?

Hi Michael ,
What kind of changes are you trying to make in that document ?
Is this happening with all kinds of document or any specific kind?
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Please provide us with the details so that we an assist you further .

Windows Explorer Preview pane does not work with .docx files

This question follows on from previously unresolved questions posted on this forum (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/aec7b30a-0709-4d54-b5c7-570dc5b115df/preview-pane-and-windows-explorer?forum=officeitproprevious) and another forum I
have visited.
The problem:
In windows explorer scrolling down (using mouse or arrow keys) in the library pane from one file to the next stops at a word document with more than 2 pages. Instead of continuing to scroll through the file list in the library pane it switches to scrolling
through the pages of the document in the preview pane. This is a major pain because it impedes being able to move quickly through the files within a folder.
The logical way this should work is to always scroll within the library pane unless you click in the preview pane to scroll through the document preview. This isn't how it is working.
I am using Windows 7 with Microsoft Office 2010.
Can someone please provide give me a solution.

Hi,
I did a test on my machine, couldn't reproduce this issue.
There doesn't seem to be any settings on Office to change that; anyway, please try repairing Office in Control Panel to try again.
Since it may be an issue more related to Windows Client, I suggest you post this question in Windows Client forum:

Preview Livecycle PDf in Windows 7 Preview Pane

Is there a way to preview Livecycle PDF's in the Windows 7 Preview Pane?

Hi,
when you save an XFA form as PDF, it creates a shell PDF that surrounds the complete XFA contents.
This shell PDF itself is a simple one page PDF with a message for the users if the PDF viewer wasn't able to read the XFA contents.
This message looks this way.
In the Windows Explorer you will only see this message in the preview, because it dosn't support XFA.

Multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe while using Windows Explorer Preview Pane

I'm trying to understand why our computers behave differently while browsing PDF files using Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on.
All are Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
The scenario: Open Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on, go to a folder full of PDF files, and start single-clicking on them, one by one down the list. Keep Task Manager open, on the Processes tab, showing processes from all users, as you click on the PDF files.
On two of the computers, you can keep clicking right on the down the list, and the preview pane shows the PDF file contents immediately with each click. The Task Manager does not show any instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and the machine does not slow down no matter how quickly you go down the list of files. You can keep clicking all day.
On the other two computers, as you keep clicking down the list, after about six or seven clicks, the machine starts getting slower and slower in responding to display the PDF contents. In Task Manager, you see multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe executing, and the list keeps growing with more instances - I've seen up to 8, with memory allocations to some of the instances approaching 700MB! One of the CPU cores goes to 100%. If you stop clicking in Windows Explorer, eventually, the machine recovers, and the list of multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe shrinks, but never goes away completely until you close the Explorer window.
What could account for this difference? One of the users is complaining - he often browses folders of scanned PDFs looking for invoices, transactions, etc., and has to go slowly to keep his machine from bogging down. I don't know when this behavior started.
It doesn't matter if it is a shared folder on a network resource or one locally on the machine, or if it is an admin or standard Windows account - the behavior is the same. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas.

Yes i'm having this issue to.
Becomes worse after display many documents in pane, worst even if scanned images are in.
After killing the process, sometimes it generate even more process.
After Killing all the process, sometimes need to deactivate the pane view and activate
again to restore normal preview.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to progress to file below, if i wait, going to files above, it pass
the file that shows delay, without any problem.
I add received from Microsoft, in answer to the same issue to uninstall adobe reader and install
latest version. It become a bit more stable, but problem still shows.
Abobe reader: 10.1.0, ATI latest drivers 11-07

Thank you for your kind consideration of my problem. Up until the software started to print blank pages the preview pane always showed the selected print within the selected layout. Something has changed. Lightroom will print to the JPEG file but only a blank page on the Epson 2880. I've been in contact with Epson support and an IT tech and they tell me the problem is with Lightroom. I'm at my wits end and thinking of upgrading but the glitch may carry over. Uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the preferences file did nothing to rectify the situation.
Thanks again!

Windows Explorer Preview Pane

The Windows Explorer Preview Pane - For windows 8
How do I change or add a preview handler to the windows explorer preview pane, for MEDIA FILES. Preview handlers for pdf files can be changed by changing the default program used to open the file. Programs such as Adobe reader, Foxit reader
and Nitro reader all have a preview handler, how can I use vlc media player's preview handler?
If there is no way to change the default media preview handler, I would humbly like tolike to appeal that Microsoft allow third party video players such as the
largely popular gom player and vlc media player be allowed to add a preview handler for the windows explorer preview pane. Such as how third party pdf readers have, such as foxit reader of nitro reader.
Or if you could please improve the preview pane Media handler, it is very slow in startup and supports a limited number of video filetypes. File preview is a very important feature when dealing with many files, it makes it easier to choose the file
you would like to view before opening it. Much like Mac's Quicklook - which supports almost all file types.
I am a die-hard windows user and as such I am asking this favor as a die-hard windows user, it would be a very welcomed change for windows 8.

MEDIA FILE comes with a file extension, and each file extension associates with a CLSID. You need to register a COM server for your preview handler for your media file extension with the CLSID specified.
VLC Media Player's preview handler is free and open to use. You should be able to get it by asking VLC team on SourceForge.net.
Neither Foxit nor Nitro reader, till today, supports Windows 8 as far as I know. You would probably create your MEDIA FILE preview handler or package VLC preview handler in your own application according to the ready
PDF Preview handler for Windows 8.
To the best of my knowledge, only two PDF preview handlers on Windows 8,
PDF Previewer for Windows 8 by Wondersoft (France company) and
PDF Preview for Windows 8 by Vivid Document Technologies AG (German company).
The setup package created for the latter is much better than the former. You can study how the preview handler is set up by the installer.
PDF preview handler is used to
preview PDF document, usually the cover page (though the former provides preview multiple pages of a PDF file page by page), however, your MEDIA FIlE preview handler is to preview only the first frame of your media stream. That's the difference.

How to turn off preview pane from windows explorer

turn off preview handlers doesnot help
OS: windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit with latest security update

FIX FOUND:
(Encountered same problem in Windows 8.1 Pro. We have only Acrobat X, no Reader.)
Open Explorer. Select View from the top menu.
On the ribbon, there should be a button "Preview Pane".
Toggle it on or off by pressing the button. You can also use ALT+P.
Explorer will tell you that Preview is off, because the phrase "Select file to preview" disappears.

The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8.

The ADF Mobile preview pane doesn't work under Windows 8 64bit even I use Jdeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0,but I use windows 7 64bit or windows xp works fine.
How to fix it, please.
Thanks !

Hi,
I installed JDeveloper 11.1.2.4 on my Windows 8 machine and then the ADF Mobile extension. I can open the previewer for ADF Mobile. So there is no problem with this on Windows 8. I used the generic installation, which is that I installed the JDK and then run the Java -jar command for the JDeveloper install.

HT6030 In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer.

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Windows 10 Does Not Allow Deletion Of PDF If Open In Preview Pane

For the most part, the upgrade Win 7 Pro to Win 10 went smoothly. Aside from it nuking all my Chrome Extensions (good one M$), I cannot delete PDF files from Explore if I have the Preview Pane open. Other file types don't seem to have the issue. I am running Adobe Reader XI ver 10.0.12.

Previewing clips in Events pane do not play correctly in Preview Pane

Overall I like iMovie '08 very much, but I have one issue that it really annoying. Basically all of my footage was shot with Casio or Fuji digicams and lives in my iPhoto library. When iMovie imported these clips to the events pane, it looked as if all was fine. However, when I drag my mouse over certain clips to preview them, a different clip actually shows up in the preview pane. I can make selections and add them to the timeline, and when I replay them they look fine in the preview window - it only happens when I preview clips by dragging my mouse. Any ideas?

If you provide some specific information about what cam, sequence settings, codec, FCP, QT and OS version numbers, it would be helpful.
