In the Vault client and Web client, PDF thumbnails display the same way that drawings do (with Acrobat Reader as default the client displays a PDF logo)Įxisting PDF's will need to be re-created, the good news though is that you could put the job processor to work on creating new PDF's by setting all "Released" drawings to "Quick Change" and then setting them back to "Released" (this would require your Lifecycle transition from "Quick Change" to Released" to include a PDF update). When using Adobe Reader, users do not get Thumbnail previews of their files in Vault, and more importantly, in the web client.īy switching to Foxit Reader as the default PDF viewer on the server and the client machines, PDF behaviour is improved. Most people use Adobe Reader to view PDF files on their PC's and in those instances, Vault will use Acrobat Reader as it's default viewer (this is done via a previewing mechanism in Windows called iFilters). Vault uses the default program that you have assigned to a specific file format to preview the file. With the ability to automatically publish PDF files in Vault Professional 2018 (see Chris' blog for more details), the PDF format is going to become a lot more popular as a visualisation file in the Vault.
