Foxit PDF, doesn't have a shell extension to display thumbnails of PDF files in Windows Explorer (the thumbnails are shown instead of PDF document icons).

Is there a shell extension that do that? i.e to see thumbnails instead of PDF icon.

BTW, PDFXchange and Adobe have a shell extension such that the thumbnails are shown instead of PDF document icons.
