The PDF Shell component in Acrobat and Acrobat Reader allows you to see the thumbnails of PDF documents in Windows explorer, on both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows. By default, this feature is OFF. You can enable it using a specific setting available in the preferences.
Note:
For Acrobat XI and Reader XI, the thumbnails of PDFs are automatically shown in Windows Explorer on Windows 32-bit systems. However, the same is not supported on Windows 64-bit systems.
In Windows 10, Microsoft has done away with the need to install PDF viewer and assigned Microsoft Edge browser as the default PDF viewer. While many users like the idea of not having to use a third party tool in order to view PDF files, there are others who prefer opening PDF files in Adobe Reader, instead of being redirected to Microsoft Edge. 3 Ways to Change or Set Default PDF Viewer in Windows 10. By default, Windows 10 uses Microsoft Edge as the default program to open PDF files. So when you double-click a PDF file to open it, it will be automatically opened in Microsoft Edge browser, whether a PDF reader is installed on your Windows 10 or not.
Open Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. On the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
In the Preferences dialog box, choose General in the Categories list, and then select the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer check box.
Note:
If you don't see the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer checkbox, update your Acrobat DC or Acrobat Reader DC to the latest version. To automatically update from the product, choose Help > Check for updates and then follow the steps in the Updater window to download and install the latest updates.
Wait for a few seconds while Acrobat is configured to show thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.
Note:
In Acrobat Reader, you see a prompt asking for the feature to be added to the current installation. Click Yes to confirm.
