In Outlook the PDF preview works fine.

Any ideas?

Hi,

This problem is unfortunately pretty common.

2) I think that the problem is mostly common with Adobe reader v8.1.X, so in case you use this version try uninstall the software (as I described above), and than instead of reinstall your current version of Adobe reader, try to install an earlier version (e.g v8.0).

The problem might originate from a conflict between the Vista preview handler and the new preview feature from Adobe, introduced in v8.1.

Maybe this will help. ▲ Collapse
