Adobe Systems, the creator of the PDF file format, has a free PDF reader called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Tons of feature are included; you can take snapshots of text and images, view a PDF in Read Mode for a more concise reading pane, and have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC read text out loud. This PDF opener works with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Free video editor no download. If you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and can't see the thumbnail preview of the PDF files in the file explorer then you would have to enable it within the Acrobat Reader preferences.
Steps to Enable Thumbnail Preview for PDF files
Note: If you have an older version of Adobe Acrobat reader then update to the latest version from the following link.
Open the Acrobat Reader DC. Go to the Edit Menu and Choose Preferences. Or, you can Press Ctrl+K to open Preferences
In the left side Categories panel, select General from the list. Select the Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer check box.
Scroll down and click on OK. Acrobat Reader would ask for your confirmation to install a feature. Click on Yes.
This would enable the PDF thumbnail preview in the File Explorer.
Alternatively, You can also Preview PDF Files using the File Explorer preview pane. Windows File preview lets you open the file preview in a side panel.
To quickly enable the File Preview you can press the shortcut ALT + P or you can enable it from the top Ribbon menu in Filer Explorer. To enable it Go to View menu and click on Preview Pane.
The best approach is to use the shortcut ALT + P to quickly open the preview pane. The preview panes works with most types of files. You can preview PDF's, photos and videos by just clicking on the file. To close the preview pane simply press the shortcut ALT + P, again.
You can drag the preview pane to the left to increase its size.
You can even install another free to use PDF reader if Acrobat Reader DC fails to show thumbnails in file explorer. Foxit Reader, Nitro Reader and Slim PDF are other free alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Reader.
A note to Tucows Downloads visitors:
All good things…
We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We're pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity.
The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. What started as a place for people in the know to download software became the place to download software on the burgeoning Internet. Far more quickly than anyone could have imagined.
A lot has changed since those early years. Tucows has grown and evolved as a business. It's been a long time since Tucows has been TUCOWS, which stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software.
Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Hover offers domain names and email at retail to help people brand their life online. OpenSRS (and along the way our acquisitions of Enom, Ascio and EPAG) are the SaaS platforms upon which tens of thousands of customers have built their own domain registration businesses, registering tens of millions of domains on behalf of their customers. Ting Internet is building fiber-optic networks all over the U.S. At the same time, we're building the Mobile Services Enabler SaaS platform that is powering DISH's entry into the US mobile market.

Point is, we're keeping busy.
For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. We talked about shutting the site down before. Most seriously in 2016 when instead, we decided to go ad-free, keeping the site up as a public service.

Today is different. Tucows Downloads is old. Old sites are a maintenance challenge and therefore a risk. Maintaining the Tucows Downloads site pulls people away from the work that moves our businesses forward.
Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Retiring it is the right move but that doesn't alter the fact that it will always hold a special place in hearts and our story. We're thankful to the thousands of software developers who used Tucows Downloads to get their software in front of millions of people, driving billions of downloads over more than 25 years.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Elliot Noss
CEO, Tucows
