Lastly, Office 2010 圆4, especially given that it's usable, stable, and offers kick-butt performance despite the barely-beta state of the 64-bit code (I called it once 0.4-level code) teamed with Windows 7 圆4, makes a VERY serious statement about the seriousness Microsoft is taking 64-bit software in general, and 64-bit applications in particular. The thumbnail cache needs to cleared using Disk Cleanup. Note: If you’ve chosen to disable PDF thumbnails, existing PDF files may still show thumbnail preview from the cache. Under General, enable the option Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer. How much will Adobe lose in revenues due to that? Open Adobe Reader, click Edit, Preferences.

However, with Office 2010, that need officially Goes Away (because you can Save as PDF (or ODF, for that matter) from any Office application). One of Acrobat 8's biggest uses is as a PDF generator plug-in for Office. Word and Outlook are supposed to be the two Office applications that would improve the LEAST in a move to 64-bit.) 90 of PDFs on my machine have been generated by myself which tend to look identical as thumbnails and anything that I have downloaded is so carefully named that the thumbnail is redun. (It's not *even Word and Outlook* it's more like *especially Word and Outlook*. In my experience, PDF thumbnails or even extra large icons is of little value. This may happen after a Windows update has been installed or if you’ve been customizing Windows 10 with themes, skins, or apps. This isn’t a feature that you have to turn on however, sometimes, the thumbnails disappear. Second, it thoroughly waxes Office 2007 on the same hardware the difference is, in fact, more marked for the 64-bit Office apps compared to the 32-bit versions. By default, Windows 10 will show you thumbnails for all files. Office is neither one, as individual applications or as a suite.)

(To date, 64-bit applications have fallen into two categories - utilities and niche applications. However, I think the release of Office 2010 圆4 will be *plenty* of incentive (for Adobe, and anyone else that's been stalling).įirst off, Microsoft Office is, like it or not, the planet's productivity suite of choice. There is no incentive for them to make a compatible windows 7 64 bit app.
