RAR+PDF: can't open PDF from inside archive with associated program

[Grijando]

Hi,

I have a small issue with RAR + PDF files in XnView MP.

I have PDF files associated with Adobe Reader in XnView MP, so double-clicking a PDF opens it correctly. However, when I have a RAR archive containing a PDF, XnView MP opens the RAR archive and shows the PDF's thumbnail correctly, but I can't get it to open the PDF with a double-click the way normal PDFs do.

I've also tried "Open with associated program" (F3) using Adobe Reader, but I get an error along the lines of "Error opening document. The file is open or being used by another application," and I can't get it to open via double-click or any other method.

Has anyone run into this, or is there a known workaround?

I know, maybe is a little strange to open PDF in RAR in XnView MP, but for me it would be a very nice way to have all compressed, watch thumbnails and open the files.

Thanks in advance.
