Jan 22, 2015  If it's not a PDF document that you want to preview, we can also try to preview a PDF attachment to see if it works fine. If this issue continues when previewing a PDF attachment in Outlook, I'd recommend we uninstall and then reinstall the Adobe reader to see the result. Please let me know the result. Regards, Steve Fan TechNet Community Support. Same for me!! Vista 64 bit, Reader 8.1.1. I have this since 4 months waiting for either a fix from MS or Adobe. I've several times installed / re installed the Reader, no change. Preview an attachment. File attachments can be viewed in the Reading Pane or in the body of an email message without opening another program. The attachment previewer feature in Outlook only works if you have the same version of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint installed as the version of Outlook being used to preview the attachment.

On my computer I have various PDF readers - I generally use Edge for PDF reading, but I also have Adobe Acrobat DC, and Foxit Phantom Editor.

I installed a trial of Adobe Acrobat first, and then Foxit Phantom, and decided to go with Phantom as my PDF editor. So I uninstalled Acrobat.

However, Acrobat was the set previewer for my PDF files in Outlook 2013 (because I installed it before Phantom). After uninstalling it, Outlook 2013 gives me

This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it

but I know there is because Foxit Phantom includes one.

What can I do to set Phantom as the previewer?

Couple Of Minor Details

In Default Programs, Open With has been set as the following and the Acrobat Preview worked.

  • Open With Edge
  • Open With Acrobat
  • Open With Phantom

It is currently set as Open With Phantom

I'm having this also but with DocsCorp's PDFDocs.

I found this which lets me remove the default previewer but I'm having issues getting one put back in. Might assist you;

To manually enable or disable the PDF File Preview integration within Microsoft Outlook, please follow the instructions below:

  • Within Microsoft Outlook 2010, go to 'File' menu and click 'Options'.
  • Select the 'Trust Center' link.
  • Click on the 'Trust Center Settings...' button.
  • Select the 'Attachment Handling' menu.
  • Click on the 'Attachment and Document Previewers...' button.
  • Locate the 'zeon PDF PreviewHandler' option from the 'File Previewing Options' list.
  • To enable the PDF File Preview option, place a check in the 'zeon PDF PreviewHandler' checkbox.
  • Note: To disable the PDF File Preview option, remove the check from the 'zeon PDF PreviewHandler' checkbox.
  • Click 'OK' to apply the changes.
  • Note: The 'zeon PDF PreviewHandler' File Previewing Option may also be listed as 'Nuance PDF PreviewHandler'.

After I had done this I had to reinstall Acrobat DC to get it to re-handle the PDF Previewing

Have you tried changing Phantom to being your default PDF viewer?

Assuming you are using Windows, you can make this change within Default Programs either in the Start Menu, Control Panel or by typing it in to Windows Search.

Once opened, select Associate a file type or protocol with a program, look for the *.pdf extension and select Phantom as your default application.

When you have made the change, try restarting Outlook and see if that has made a difference.
