If you’ve been using Windows Vista & Outlook 2007, you’re probably aware that Outlook 2007 itself can provide previews of attachments directly within the Outlook 2007 Preview Pane.
This is a really nice time-saving feature that avoids having to double click on a .DOC attachment, open Word, load the attachment, close Word, return Outlook 2007 to the focus, etc. etc. Simply clicking on the attachment will allow a user to quickly "preview it’s contents" in the Preview Pane.
Well, we’ve got one for Adobe Acrobat .PDFs.
We just released it for free: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2007/02/27/14001.aspx. Feel free to use this and distribute to your colleagues, customers, etc. as an example of extending the Office 2007 platform.
Right now it will only work on Windows Vista, but we’re working on a Windows XP version.
