Is it possible to show thumbnails for WTDocs where primary content is an Office file if we don't have an OFFICE worker set up?
In 9.1, we had an OFFICE type worker. It was free. But now with Windchill 10.x? we need Adobe Live Cycle purchase in order to accomplish the same end result, from what I understand. We are not purchasing that, so we don't have thumbnails for Office documents anymore.
But there is a setting in the Office programs called "save thumbnails for all [Word/Excel/etc] documents". And when that option is chosen, the thumbnail will appear on your Windows computer instead of the Word/Excel/etc icon. Can that thumbnail be picked up by Windchill somehow, and displayed on the information page of the WTDocument? Otherwise is there some other way to display thumbnails of Office documents for free, like 9.1?
File > Info > Properties > Advanced Properties. On the Summary tab, there is a checkbox at the bottom that says Save Thumbnails for All Word Documents.
