FONT VIEWER WINDOWS 7 64 BIT DOWNLOAD
Just download and run this fix, and then while in a folder click Tools (May need to press alt to see this menu) > Folder Options > View > Untick ‘Always show Icons, never thumbnails’. His fix does indeed do what It’s supposed to. I wish more people would discover and use. My idea of the “paperless office” was not to look at pieces of paper on the screen, with their unsuitable fonts, text sizes, fixed-width layouts, space wasting margins, headers, footers and page breaks and other horrors. Personally, I wish the whole format would die.
Don’t know how widespread those issues are, though. I’ve heard from a bunch of people that they have to use Adobe Reader for compatibility reasons with some documents/publishers, or for certain features that only work in it. I haven’t used it enough to really compare it but if we’re talking about alternatives it’s definitely worth checking out.

PDF-XChange seems to be a good PDF viewer that includes a preview handler and thumbnails which both work on 64-bit systems out-of-the-box. (Not that other PDF viewers haven’t had security flaws, but Adobe Reader is a much bigger target so its flaws matter more.) If not for that I’d probably use something else just on security grounds. Main reason I have Adobe’s stuff installed is because it’s the standard, most popular thing and I need to make sure my stuff works alongside it (which can be a battle as it’s so badly written!). Still, if you’re happy with FoxIt then more power to you. The problem also extends onto other applications that use the preview APIs such as Office Outlook, throwing out the window what would have been an elegant and streamlined PDF viewing experience, especially since you can scroll within the PDF without awakening the beast that is Adobe Reader.Īfter some detective work by Leo, not only did he pinpoint the root cause of both the preview and thumbnail issues, but today released a dead-simple fix in a neat executable package that fixes both problems faster than you can say “what the hell Adobe”.ĭrozzy: IMO, FoxIt has pretty horrible font rendering, especially for small fonts:
In the case of the broken Adobe Reader 9.0 PDF preview and thumbnail handler on 64-bits versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista, Leo Davidson did just that.įor the past two years, Adobe has neglected a simple issue with Adobe Reader that broke the default and extremely useful file thumbnail and file preview features in Vista and 7 under 64-bit. When faced with a buggy piece of software, most users probably work-around the problems in silence, others might voice the issue at the developers, but there’s also a growing minority who whip out their development tools and attempt to fix it themselves.
