J

Hi all
I am having trouble with Office 2007 setup. My pdf viewer is Adobe. When I
receive a email with
a pdf attachment, I get a error "This file cannot be previewed because there
is no previewer installed for it. So I save the attachment, then open it
using Adobe. Is their a way in setup to set my viewer (Adobe) as my default
viewer?
Thanks in advance

No, at least not yet. There is no PDF previewer for Outlook available
yet. You should be able to double-click the file though and have it open
directly in Acrobat.

Microsoft is planning to make the previewer API public. I don't think
this has happened yet though.
Microsoft won't provide a PDF previewer for legal reasons, but I would
certainly expect Adobe to develop one eventually.
To answer your question, I'd ask Adobe.
