Preview PDF Files in Outlook 2007 For Free

>

Outlook 2007 gives you the capacity to preview attachments proper in the Reading Pane. The only issue is, you can't preview PDF files with it. At least you can't until you set up Outlook to use the free PDF previewer that's built into current versions of Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader (which is also frequently referred to as Acrobat Reader) is a free of charge program from Adobe for viewing PDF files. As its name implies, it is only for viewing (reading) these files, not for making them. If you obtain PDF files as e-mail attachments, you are likely applied to saving them, then opening them in a separate program to view them.

In most instances, the program you are employing to view them is Adobe Reader. When you set up Outlook to use the PDF previewer, you take advantage of the same technologies, but this time you don't have to leave Outlook to do the preview. Previewing attached PDF files without ever leaving Outlook saves you a little time and effort every single time about.

Setting this up is not challenging. All you have to have to do is download the present version of Adobe Reader, install it, then configure Outlook 2007 to use it. In most situations, it will only take you a couple of minutes to complete the whole procedure. Even if you don't usually make modifications to the software program running on your laptop or computer, if you can follow hassle-free directions, you can set this up your self. The time and hassle you will save in the future make the smaller amount of effort necessary properly worth it.
