PDF Software for viewing folder contents

[351Cleveland]

This is hard to explain, but I will ask. I am looking for software that will allow me to browse a folder on my computer from within the software and open PDF's as I go. So in the software, there is a directory tree, and it lists all the PDF's in a given folder. I can select those PDF's and view each individually. I have invoices that we scan and receive via email, and I want to be able to browse through them without having to resort to Explorer and opening the software individually each time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Jim

Do you want to view the files from within the same software or just select them and open them with acrobat?

Ideally, there would be two windows in the same application. On the left is a list of files, and on the right is the viewing pane. As I click on the file name, it comes up in the viewing pane. So the answer would be no, I would not want them to launch in an external application.

Thanks!

Not cheap, but directory opus can probably do this. The fourth screenshot from the left on the top row shows something similar.

Plugins listed here - several PDF options:

are you using windows 7? not sure about vista, but in 7 you can just turn on document previews in explorer and do what you want: see a list of documents (or icons, details, whatever) and click a file to see the preview in the right hand pane.

click "to preview and open files in a document library"

According to ACDSee's support site, ACDSee 14 + Ghost Script should do the trick.

ACDSee 14 is on sale for $50. Ghost Script is free.

I suggest that you download the trial version of ACDSee 14 from their site and see if it suits you
