Outlook 2007 gives you the capability to preview attachments suitable in the Reading Pane. The only problem is, you cannot preview PDF files with it. At least you can't until you set up Outlook to use the cost-free PDF previewer that is built into existing versions of Adobe Reader.
Adobe Reader (which is also quite often referred to as Acrobat Reader) is a zero cost program from Adobe for viewing PDF files. As its name implies, it is only for viewing (reading) these files, not for generating them. If you get PDF files as email attachments, you are most likely utilized to saving them, then opening them in a separate program to view them.
In most cases, the program you are working with to view them is Adobe Reader. When you set up Outlook to use the PDF previewer, you take benefit of the exact same technology, but this time you do not have to leave Outlook to do the preview. Previewing attached PDF files with out ever leaving Outlook saves you a little time and effort each and every time around.
Setting this up is not hard. All you want to do is download the existing 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 entire procedure. Even if you don't ordinarily make modifications to the computer software running on your laptop or computer, if you can follow effortless directions, you can set this up your self. The time and hassle you will save in the future make the tiny amount of effort needed nicely worth it.
