"Save Thumbnail" for "Save As" / "Export" to .docx SOLVED

[Jensen Head]

Currently, saving a PDF document to Microsoft Word XML format creates a document that does not include a preview image of the first page of the document, forcing me to resave it using Microsoft Word. This occurs regardless of whether "Save As" / "MS Word Document (*.docx)" or "Export" / "Export to Microsoft Word Document" is used. Actually, there is no setting that would allow Thumbnail to be included in a document, or would indicate not to include Thumbnail in a document.

Hi, Jensen Head

sorry if I am being obtuse, but what thumbnail are you referring to? Where do you typically see the thumbnail you are looking for?

Where do you typically see the thumbnail you are looking for?

In all file managers that support displaying file thumbnails if the OS has appropriate thumbnail handlers, and thumbnail display modes are enabled in the file manager and OS.

This is what .docx documents look like with and without embedded thumbnails in Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.4651' File Explorer with Microsoft Office 16.0.14332.20721 installed:

Hi, Jensen Head

now I learned something today. I was under the impression these were generated dynamically and not at all dependent on the file having the thumbnail information itself inside the document.

On discussing this with the team I learned that there is such content that we should be adding to the files, the guys already noticed this and have fixed it for the next release.

So I am going to call that a win/win. I learned something AND the issue is addressed for the next release.

Build 10.4.0.388 09 Sep 2024
Released Sep 9th, 2024. Requires maintenance through Sep 9th, 2024
NEW Added a setting to save thumbnails when converting to .docx. (42127)
The possibility to save the thumbnail of a document in order to have an image of the first page of the document as Icon of this file (and you can see this by changing the explorer to "big icons" mode, for example).

Thank you!
