Previewing PDF and text files

Application Wizard lets you preview PDF and text files in the Special menu. You can preview several types of text documents: plain text and rich text format files, Word documents, XML property list files, source and strings files.

Application Wizard lets you decide whether PDF and text file previews should be displayed in a frame and allows you to adjust their size. The size of PDF file previews can vary from a minimum of 100 x 100 pixels to a maximum of 500 x 500 pixels, while the size of text file previews can vary from a minimum of 200 x 200 pixels to a maximum of 500 x 500 pixels.

To configure PDF and text file previews, open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click the Menus tab. Click the Configure Special Menu button to open the Configure Special Menu dialog and click the Configure button to display the Previews panel:

Deselect the Frame previews checkbox if you don't want frames and drag the PDF files or Text files slider to vary the size of previews.

If you don't see previews in the Special menu, you may have turned them off. To turn them on again, click the Menus tab in the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences. Click the Configure Special Menu button and select the Show previews checkbox.
