I have Foxit Reader installed on Win7 and I did nothing extra to view thumbnails. I automatically shows thumbnails for .pdf files...

If you have adobe reader already installed it, it does that for you. – surfasb Sep 18 '11 at 14:36

You'll need a Handler for the Explorer Shell. It can be installed as part of Adobe Reader or Acrobat.

Wrong link earlier, which was to the search engine plugin.

	I installed it, nothing happens. Must I install adobe reader too? – sdfdsfg Sep 18 '11 at 14:03
	It does not show up on the preview panel? You shouldn't need to restart or anything. – surfasb Sep 18 '11 at 14:21
