Windows 10: Preview of Adobe progams in explorer thumbnails

Yes I know, this is a very old topic but I have this issue (again).
Which program is able to give a preview of all the different file formats (like pdf, psd, indd. ai,...)?

Preview and thumbnails are not showing up in Windows Explorer, Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Hi Susanne,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern. The PDF Shell component in Adobe Reader allows you to see the thumbnails of PDF documents in Windows explorer. However, it seems Preview and Thumbnails of PDF files are disabled. Please follow steps mentioned below to enable
the same.

1. Launch Adobe Reader.
   
2. Click on Edit in the menu bar and choose
   Preferences.
   
3. Highlight General under Categories.
   
4. Check the box behind Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.

Thumbnail support for Adobe Applications within Windows Explorer

The application that needs changing is Adobe Reader. The settings can be changed on this application not on Windows Explorer. To enable the thumbnails preview, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + S to open Search Box.
• Type Adobe Reader, then click it.
• Click Edit to expand it.
• Click Preferences.
• Click General in the left pane.
• Tick the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer.
• Check your PDFs in your folder if you can now see previews.

Let us know if this works for you.

The OP doesn't want icons, they want to see thumbnails showing an image of the document contents for all the Adobe file types listed.
