Hi,

Is there a feature within acrobat that allows you to scroll through individual pdf files within file explorer without having to open a file then close then back to explorer and then open and so on! 

it is quite annoying when viewing 100's of files?

if not can anyone reccomend a software that does this.

thank you in advance. 

SB

    Hi there,

     

    Hope you are doing well and sorry to keep you waiting.

     

    You need to enable the preview pane in MS Windows Explorer as shown in the screenshot below to preview the PDF files without opening them.

     

     

     

    Regards

      I have preview pane on. but i cannot scroll through the pages now. i have to physically click the arrows. Is there a way to scroll through using the mouse? this has worked up until today. FYI. I have tried resettign and the above suggestions as well.

        Yes, same when I try to scroll with the wheel on my mouse it just moved the explorer not the pdf preview as expected.
