Gmail pdf preview adobe

A common issue!

By default, Gmail doesn't support previewing PDF files directly in the browser. However, you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewers to preview PDF files in Gmail. Here are a few methods to do so:

Method 1: Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

  1. Install Adobe Acrobat Reader from the official website: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
  2. Once installed, restart your browser.
  3. Open Gmail and click on the PDF attachment you want to preview.
  4. Right-click on the PDF attachment and select "Open with" > "Adobe Acrobat Reader DC" (or the version you installed).
  5. The PDF file will open in Adobe Acrobat Reader, allowing you to preview its contents.

Method 2: Using Google Chrome's built-in PDF viewer

  1. Make sure you're using Google Chrome as your browser.
  2. Open Gmail and click on the PDF attachment you want to preview.
  3. Click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the Chrome browser window.
  4. Select "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Content settings" > "PDF documents".
  5. Ensure that "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application" is selected.
  6. Click on the PDF attachment to open it in the built-in PDF viewer.

Method 3: Using a third-party PDF viewer extension

  1. Install a PDF viewer extension from the Chrome Web Store, such as PDF Viewer or PDF.js.
  2. Follow the extension's installation instructions.
  3. Open Gmail and click on the PDF attachment you want to preview.
  4. The PDF file should open in the installed PDF viewer extension.
