I realized that I could not see PDF thumbnails in my Opus so I searched it and found out that it's a 64bit issue. Then I found this little program here: pretentiousname.com/adobe_pd ... index.html and iside the ZIP file I actually found some Opus help files, which leads me to believe there is some…

This is still the state of play at the moment: [image] Thumbnail for adobe pdf reader not working Help & Support Hi, I have trouble with getting adobe pdf reader thumbnail to work in opus. I have x64 system. And i read on this how to fix thumbnail problem with x64 systems…

You mean Adobe still hasn't implemented proper 64-bit support in Reader X? It has only just surfaced. You can get some feeling for Adobe's attitude to 64-bit support here: 64-bit problems? It's Adobe, not your browser To quote: PS There is indeed a link between pretentiousname.com – one of the …

Thank you both. I wasn't aware of the sorry support adobe had of 64bit systems. It is just amazing to me these companies don;t have someone that would spend 5 minutes a week predicting the sate of computing 2, 5 or 10 years in the future. I remember back in 1999 forecasting that inside of 3004 all…

I'm afraid that is just the part of it. I have recently been doing some work on computer languages for a bunch of academics. Their view is that no one has really started to address the real challenges of multi-core processing. To quote my version of the expert view on writing for multi-core proces…

I am not surprised. The major applications do not take advantage of multicore processing. In my own testing, comparing processing speed in photoshop 32bit against Photoshop 64bit on Win7 working off the same dual booting machine showed the 64bit application about 10 seconds slower over a 3 minutes P…

64-bit code isn't always faster than 32-bit code, even if it is well-written (and well optimized by the compiler, etc.). It can be, but sometimes it's slower, too. For example, 64-bit code must use larger pointers (8 bytes instead of 4) and if that extra space usage means the difference between a ca…

Leo, it seems that you use more brackets in your descriptions than in your codes... :slight_smile:))

Nah, you clearly haven't seen his code :wink:

Yep, and as of January 2012, 64-bit support is still non-existing for Arcobat. Note that Acrobat also will not install a 64-bit iFilter plugin, even though one exists for download at Adobe, but that one's half-broken anyway. For those of you who want/need proper 64-bit support for PDF files, there…

My fix in the first post will make Adobe Reader's thumbnails work with 64-bit machines, for free.
