A free add-on which allows users to preview PDF document without opening it in Windows Explorer.
An attorney who deals with a lot of PDFs set himself with the task of finding a way to preview the PDFs in Windows Explorer [much like Cover Flow view already does in Mac OS X] without actually opening them. He has searched high and low and have yet to find anything even remotely similar to Cover Flow on a Mac. He says doesn't need to be able to page through the files, just a quick look at the cover page.
A secretary gets sent a lot of files in PDF format, and it is tiring to having to keep opening them in Adobe Reader, whereas it would be great to see a preview of the file in Windows Explorer or in Microsoft Outlook [in much the same way as photo attachments are shown in full in the Preview Pane].

When you're looking for a PDF file or you just need a bit of information from one, to preview PDF documents in a fast preview window is easier than opening files.
