Hi @Prestigey 

 

Are you previewing the files in OneDrive directly or accessing your Onedrive account from within the Acrobat desktop app?

For the first case, you need to get in touch with MS Support as it seems to be a known issue https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/hmm-looks-like-this-file-doesnt-have-a-preview-we/d08df0be-172b-40c6-83a5-e463c3b5e0fa 

For the second case, 

Which PDF viewer app do you use to access .pdf files? 

Do you receive this error "looks like this file doesn't have a preview we can show you" when opening any specific file from one drive or all the files from OneDrive?

Can you see the Thumbnail Preview of other PDFs in the Acrobat/Reader app? Can you share any of the sample PDFs?

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
