I was reviewing a pdf file:
2.The Viewer Pane displayed an image of the document.
3.The titlebar of the Viewer Pane listed the file name but in parenthesizes is listed (Abbyy Finereader) as "handler, whatever that means, instead of Adobe Acrobat DC
I'd just loaded Abbyy trial and wasn't sure I wanted to stay with it so attempted to change it.
Somehow in my ignorance, I changed something the converted the Viewer Pane from showing images to showing code and I don't know what I did so that I can undo it! 6. HOW DO I GET THE VIEWER PANE TO DISPLAY IMAGES AGAIN?
Unfortunately, that didn't work. In fact, I deleted EVERY app I have that even remotely reads pdf. Then executed a hard-reboot and reinstalled just adobe. Didn't change. There was a setting of some type that triggered this because I was bumbling around... Do you have any other ideas on what setting it could be or other way to get my images back? For example, is there a "restore DOpus to original settings" feature?
Adobe software can be quite nasty to repair (once it forced me to perform a clean installation of Windows). To rule out that this is the case, install any of the other PDF viewers and see if it works.
I have now uninstalled/reinstalled just about everything on my PC, including DOpus. Explorer shows preview just fine but DOpus is still displaying code in the viewer. So frustrating!
Sorry for the delay. Adobe was acting up so I uninstalled it again. I don't know what kind of computer octopus it is but it takes forever to unplug! Here is what I see currently.
I took a chance and unchecked it in the list and it didn't fix the problem. So, I just did a search. Whatever it is, it isn't an app and search can't find it anywhere. I'll have to do some more research to figure out what it is an how to remove it...
You might also want to try adding the PDF extension to the zeonPDFPreviewHandler line in the plugin config window.
That could be the viewer that Explorer is using. It doesn't look like Adobe Reader's preview handler is installed, or if it is it isn't registered properly. (The fix Wobbly links to may fix that if that's the issue.)
There are some other things we can try to diagnose what's going wrong, if neither of those fixes things.
