    For windows 7, the PDF Peview tool worked fine for me. It shows preview in explorer, Office and outlook as well. Here's the details - Preview PDF Files in Windows 7 Explorer Without Opening

    I find that no matter what reader I use previews of PDF documents is iffy. I can get them to show only by opening the PDF reader and using File open on the directory. It then shows previews of any PDFs that have shown in the open dialogue. The previews stay until the icon/thumbnail cache is rebuilt then they revert to the PDF reader icon.

    Hey Kado897, I don't get you. Install the pdf preview tool, open your explorer, navigate to a folder having a pdf and just select the pdf. The preview section on the right side should show you a preview of the first page. And yes, the whole idea of preview is to show a preview of what you have currently selected.

    Actually my mistake. I was thinking about icons instead of previews.
