Desktop Icons for PDF

Post by digitlman77 »

Hello,

I just installed Pro for evaluation into my Citrix environment. We already use the Viewer, and now have the need to create PDFs.


Everything looks good, except for one thing. The desktop icons for PDFs appears to be a small preview of the document itself, instead of the normal icon a PDF would get if you were looking via Windows Explorer.

I feel this would throw off my users, especially if they do not have "Show File Extensions for known types" set.

Is there a way to change the preview back to the normal file association icon for the Desktop?

Hi digitlman77,

Thanks for the post - I'm afraid that there isn't any way to explicitly disable this, in the Viewer, but it is possible in the Editor. In the Editor, this can be done by going to Edit --> Preferences --> File Associations and disabling the following:

HTH!
If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

Best regards
