I have XnView 1.97 in XP SP3 and until this version I have been able to see PDF files in Preview!
Not now!
Under Options > File List, PDF files are checked for Preview if smaller than 99.999 MB

Do you have ghostscript?

Yes, I had installed a long time ago ‘PDFCreator-0_9_3_GPLGhostscript.exe’, which included GhostScript 8.54.
Then, in May 09, I installed PDFcreator v 0.9.8.
I use PDFcreator to print to PDF.
Does the latest version of XnView differ from earlier ones in needing Ghostscript or otherwise?

No, which version do you had before? And which version of ghostscript with PDFcreator v 0.9.8?

Notes I had written on XnView in late 2008 to early 2009 list all the formats I use that XnView displays in Preview.
It also mentions some versions that I had used, such as 1.90.3 and 1.95.4. However, I may not have tested that all these versions display PDF.
PDF doesn't show in Preview for version 1.97 nor in 1.96.2 (I just tried) -- I don't have any earlier EXE files to try.
Earlier, I had been using PDFcreator 0.9.3 which comes with Ghostscript 8.54.
Then, in May 2009, I updated PDFcreator to 0.9.8 which comes with Ghostscript 8.64.

I use GPL ghostscript 8.64 without problem.
Do you have a 'HKLM/GPL ghostscript/8.64' key in registry?

I don't know!
Maybe I should re-install PDFcreator or separately install Ghostscript?
