PDF preview handler is not working

Question

Dear Community,

I hope you are doing well.

There is an issue on some of our machines - Pdf previews are not working in the Outlook.

The error is - this file cannot be previewed because of an error with the following previewer: PDF preview handler.

There are 2 same machines with exactly the same policies, but on one it's working on the other it's not.

I've cheked all the possible troubleshooting guides, for example:

1)https://blog.nicholasrogoff.com/2017/03/22/fix-broken-adobe-acrobat-dc-pdf-preview-handler-in-outlook

2)https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/53322.outlook-problem-with-pdf-preview-handler.aspx

I've even tried to collect the crash dumps, and no results, they are not appearing in the AppData\Local\CrashDumps folder when the PDF preview handler is giving an error.
