thumbnail previews for .pdf files

[jsthi]

I use Vivaldi as my default .pdf file opener just so I can access my pdfs while doing other things all in the one browser. I know that adobe acrobat is able to preview .pdf thumbnails, which makes it easier to identify multiple files, rather than having to open each one individually to find the right one. Is there any way to achieve this particular function in Vivaldi?

Here's what it looks like with Vivaldi as my default .pdf opener:

Ideally, I would like Vivaldi to yield a similar preview or function.

@jsthi It is a windows setting. Check out the icons at the top right of the file open dialog.

Choose Large Icons, Extra Large Icons, or enable the Preview Pane.

Edit: If your default file association for PDFs is Vivaldi, you will see a small Vivaldi icon in the corner, instead of the PDF-Exchange Editor in my screenshots, but the Windows Explorer settings will still allow you to see a preview of the PDF. This might be because I have PDF-XChange Editor installed, so try that. It is free, and a great PDF editor, comment editor.

@Pesala There are no previews in the icons of PDFs for me, even with the tile size set to largest option. The preview pane works, though:

@Komposten You probably need to install PDF-XChange Editor to get the thumbnail preview handler.

@Pesala And therein lies the OP's issue. If you use Adobe Reader you get previews in the icons/thumbnails without installing a third party app, but if you use Vivaldi you don't.
