If you use Outlook as your email client, you might want to preview PDF attachments before opening them. This can save you time and bandwidth, especially if you receive a lot of PDF files. However, Outlook does not have a built-in PDF preview feature by default. You need to install a third-party software that can enable PDF preview in Outlook. In this blog post, we will show you how to do that in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. This is a free software that can open and view PDF files. It also integrates with Outlook and allows you to preview PDF attachments in the Reading Pane. You can download it from the official website: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Step 2: Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and go to Edit > Preferences > General. Under the Application Startup section, make sure the option "Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer" is checked. Click OK to save the changes.
Step 3: Restart Outlook and open an email with a PDF attachment. You should see a preview of the PDF file in the Reading Pane. You can also double-click on the attachment to open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
That's it! You have successfully enabled PDF preview in Outlook. Now you can easily view your PDF attachments without downloading them. We hope you found this blog post helpful and informative. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment below.
