I have windows 10 home on my computer and in my documents there are pdf files that won't show the thumbnails.This happened once before and I fixed it but I can't remember how I did it.It was working fine but all of a sudden it just stopped working and I can't seem to get it to work again.I've tried watching some videoes on youtube but none of them worked.I just want all the pdf files to be so that I know what they are before I open them again.I'm attaching some pictures of what I'm talking about.I'm disabled and in a wheelchair from Rheumatoid Arthritis and I just want it back the way it was before.Thanks for any help that someone can give me,I really appreciate it.

If you're on Windows, get free SageThumbs shell extension for Windows File Explorer.  It displays thumbnails for various file types including AI, PSD, PDF, and more...

Alternatively use Adobe Bridge to view & organize your files.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Nancy for your help.Unfortunately neither one of those ideas worked,they're still showing the pdf logo and not the thumbnail of what the pdf is.Thanks again for your help in trying to fix the problem,I really appreciate it.
