Preview Livecycle PDf in Windows 7 Preview Pane

[DKinsley]

Is there a way to preview Livecycle PDF's in the Windows 7 Preview Pane?

Hi,

the preview of the Windows Explorer will only see the PDF markup of an XFA form.

You may know this as the "Please wait" message.

Thanks for your reply. I am unfamiliar with the term PDF markup. What do you mean?

Thanks

Hi,

when you save an XFA form as PDF, it creates a shell PDF that surrounds the complete XFA contents.

This shell PDF itself is a simple one page PDF with a message for the users if the PDF viewer wasn't able to read the XFA contents.

This message looks this way.

In the Windows Explorer you will only see this message in the preview, because it dosn't support XFA.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this for me.
