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-outloo...

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

 

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.

Adobe version on working machine:

Adobe version on the machine where PDF preview is not working:

Appreciate your support.
