The icon for a jpeg file in Windows Explorer actually shows the image, but when I convert to pdf, all files show the red Adobe Reader image. How can I change the pdf file icon to reflect the file image?

If you're using a 64-bit version of Windows, Reader does not support display of thumbnail images in Windows Explorer.

That's likely the problem. I'm using a 64 bit system with Windows 7. Radzmar - will your solution do me any good? Thanks for your help AUC Experts.

Windows 7 uses special codec files to render images and there does not appear to be one for PDFs. If you have any camera RAW formats, like NEF or CW2, you need to add a codec for each special image format.

As Dave said, if you work on x64 systems, there's is nothing you can do (for now).Also the batch won't have an effect. Sorry.
may be a problem of the Acrobat installation or a faulty registry key.
I found a thread for the same topic ans some tips to solve this problem.

On Win7 you can mod the registry.
1. Create a new text file and copy this systax into it.
@echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "Key=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}"
set "Value=AppID"
set "oldvalue={6d2b5079-2f0b-48dd-ab7f-97cec514d30b}"
set "newvalue={534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}"
for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('reg query %Key% /v %Value%') do set "Data=%%i"
reg add %Key% /v %Value% /t REG_SZ /d !Data:%oldvalue%=%newvalue%! /f>nul
2. Save the file with the file extension .bat
3. Execute the .bat file with administration rights.
