PDF Preview Handler doesn't work

Based on the knowledge base article linked by this blog entry:

http://jtbworld.blogspot.com/2007/07/pdf-preview-handler-included-with-adobe.html

This is a known issue and it is actually a bug in 64-bit versions of Windows. Apparently there is a patch but in order to work with the patch, adobe must update their product. So originally we were waiting on both parties but now I think we are waiting on Adobe.

I have the Vista SP1 RC installed and my gdi32.dll is a version even later than this patch (6.0.6001.17052; 379kb; 11/30/2007), so I guess I have to wait for Adobe to update their previewer to work with the fix provided by the patch and successive versions of gdi32.dll, including the one provided with the SP1 RC.

Send a bug report... the more reports, the more likely to have a fix

It's incredible Adobe doesn't fix it (from Micro$oft i don't expect anything anymore...:-))

Thanks a lot !!
This works great, and the only thing you need is just one .msi containing everything.

I installed the Foxit PDF Preview and it worked, so I would suggest you download and install this; at least until Adobe fixed this problem.

Same for me!!
Vista 64 bit, Reader 8.1.1. I have this since 4 months waiting for either a fix from MS or Adobe. I've several times installed / re installed the Reader, no change. On the Web there are a lot of people complaining about this. Could someone from Adobe confirm this BUG and provide at least a Statement!

What is the solution to this problem ... anyone?
