PDF Problems in Win 7

This is a long-standing issue with Windows 7 64bit. Acrobat and Adobe Reader work fine as standalone applications, but often refuse to work when called upon by other applications, such as your web browser. The problem is sometimes accompanied by an error message regarding the PDF Preview Handler . This error is said to have been fixed in the latest version of Reader. You need to download the software from Adobe's site and then search for upgrades within the program to download the latest bug fixes.

If this solution doesn't work for you, a third-party fix has been developed specifically to address this issue that has been reported as successful by other users. Download fixes for 64-bit Adobe Reader handler and thumbnails here. []

More information can be found on the Adobe forums. []

Also here are details of how to fix the problem manually using the Windows Registry Editor. However, because this problem should now be fixed in the latest version of Adobe Reader, it is recommend un-installing the software and replacing it with a new version.
