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?

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
Sree

Can't open PDF's on my Mac coming in on MS Outlook 2010. Reinstalled Adobe software 4 x and still get "Adobe PDF Preview Handler" error message.

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 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:

Click Internet, then Internet Settings
Click LAN Settings
Uncheck the box “Automatically detect settings”
Click OK buttons and close Adobe

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

PDF Preview Handler is not working

I am using Windows 7 32-bit with MS Office 2010 Professional.
In 'My Documents' I have files associated with .pdf but it is not showing me any previews.
I can go to another PC and I don't have that issue. For example if I am in explorer and
have my pdf files listed it wouldn't allow me to preview.

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.

PDF Preview Handler does not work

Hello,
We installed Outlook 2010 on a new Windows 7 32bit machine with Acrobat Reader X.
The preview handler for PDF files does not work in Outlook 2010. Reader works fine by itself.
If I uninstall Reader X and install verison 9.3 then the Preview Handler works fine. Any suggestioers? I have run the repoair on Office and reinstalled Reader X again but to no avail.

No i didnt check for office updates.. however i did locate a fix. I am not usually keen to try random fixes so i tested it solo first to confirm it was legitimate. worked fine. http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/
Thank you for attempting to help me though.

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...

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

Shared 64-bit Adobe PDF Converter, "Invalid Handle" error. (Print request from 32-bit computer)

I have at my disposal a Windows 7, 64-bit, Laptop and a Windows Server 2008, 32-bit.
My Adobe CC suite is installed on the laptop, but the server needs to stay as bare-bones as possible.
There are embedded help files in some of the software (on the server) that I wanted to convert to a PDF rather than print out. As with many printers, I figured I could share the PDF driver installed by the Acrobat Pro software, and then simply send the spool over from the server. I initially ran into missing driver issues, so I googled a solution where there are additional drivers found in the Program Files (x86). However, there were several cryptically named "*.inf" files that all pointed to some 6 driver certificates that all had the same name. Talk about directions being useless, even if they were right. In any case, the first driver installation came with promising results but no final file. I figured I could just update the shared, 32-bit, driver, but go figure that the option to refresh the secondary driver was nowhere to be found. The shared dialogue recognized that I clearly installed one, but a manual update or removal option was not provided.
I am at a point where I would like Adobe to just show me some love, and throw me the 32-bit Adobe PDF Converter installer that would have been embedded in earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat. If anybody could lead me in the right direction to solving my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

Acrobat is not licensed for use on the server. If you can print to postscript on the server, you can take the postscript files and distill them on your version of Distiller.

Pdf Preview Handler Error outlook 2010 Server 2008

Pdf Preview Handler Error in outlook 2010 32.bit and Server 2008 64.bit. Using Adobe X. Registry app id correct. Turned on previewer in outlook in trust center. Repaired adobe installation. All to no avail. Any thoughts or fixes. Please Help

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
