I really like this small, fast, tiny PDF Viewer: SumatraPDF
and not having to install several 100MB for Tools like gsview or AdobeAcrobat
But having PDF preview in Totalcommander would be much better, so i played around with Delphi and came up with this wrapper plugin.
It opens SumatraPDF and "catches" the Window into Totalcommander Quickview Window.
Have a try and give feedback:
known Bugs: Sumatra Menu doesn't allways get painted completly.

You will also need a Copy of Sumatrapdf.exe on you computer:

First of all thank you for your enthusiasm to develop this wrapper. However I must say that your wrapper gives me no advantages over using sumatra as standalone viewer. For me Sumatra.exe is opening by pressing F3 and closing on ESC, the same way like any TC plugin. So I don't need Sumatra loaded in TC lister window. One problem of the wrapper: No icons in toolbar are visible. I need it. Not all toolbar/menu options can used by shortcut keys. Also fullscreen view (STRG+L) is not possible. I use it often.
But one useful thing of your wrapper is: It enabled PDF in TC Quickview. I don't use quickview at all. But for people who are using quickview it is for sure a very nice feature!
If you cannot make sumatra toolbars visible I suggest to use wrapper with mupdf. Also that would be better for Quickview since there are not toolbars needed.
