PDF thumbnail not working in Windows 7 64x with Ghostscript

Post by hing_hong »

Hi

Is anyone able to help? Love XnView, but I really need my PDFs to show a thumbnail. Only the icon is showing :(

I've tried the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Ghostscript but no luck :(

From http://www.prepressure.com/library/file-formats/eps:
For other file formats such as JPG or PNG, Explorer shows a thumbnail of the actual image content. This can be very practical when dealing with large amounts of files. There is a little tool called PS+Ai Thumb which at least partly solves this problem. It works on some images but not on all types of EPS files, as shown below. I’ve only used it with Windows XP. It does not work on the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
