About Native Viewing of the PDF Documents
The native viewing of PDF is a Creo View built-in capability to load, view and mark up PDF files. It works independently, without any third-party PDF loading application, such as Adobe Acrobat.
The native viewer is enabled by default. To open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat instead, click > . In the Creo View Options dialog box, under General click Loading, then clear the Use native viewer for PDF files check box.
The native viewer only supports Windows 10, version 1803 and later.
| The native viewer does not support layers and hyperlinks. |
Verifying Adobe Versions
When your PDF document does not open, you can open it with the native viewer or check the following:
2. When a supported version is already installed, check that the Windows Registry software InstallPath values for Adobe Acrobat or Reader, located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, point to valid installation directories.
3. If the Windows Registry is correct, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Acrobat or Reader, (or both, if both are installed), and then uninstall and reinstall Creo View.
