Thumbnail preview of PDF

Vlaho, thank you for submitting this request here!

To add to this, I think it would be great if you could see a preview of the PDF when in the Files view of folders.

My company works with a LOT of PDFs rather than images, so being able to see them through the Files view would be amazing!

Can we bring this back around? Our company is struggling to switch from a platform where we could see the PDF view!

Hi Alyssa Sharp,

Thank you for sharing your interest in this suggestion. The Product team currently have no plans to add this suggestion to the short-term roadmap. If there are any changes here, I'll be sure to let you know.

Upvoting this request. We are moving from Basecamp to Wrike and the preview functionality is something we will really miss. Considering this tool is incredibly more costly than Basecamp, it would be great to have this feature added. The benefit for our company is to help reduce time while searching for a previously posted pdf. A quick view of the file's first page is super helpful - rather than click in and out of each file. Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

Agree on the need for Thumbnails of PDF's - our team uses PDF's as the go-to file type for final assets, and we are also changing from Basecamp to Wrike.  Here's one of the team's Dashboards of Final Files:

Thank you for adding your support and also for sharing the screenshot Meredith Selden! 🤗

Because it seems to relate here, one of my product feedback posts includes being able to select a page of a multi-page PDF for the thumbnail.

Thanks for posting the link here Andrew Goddard 🙌

Upvoted Andrew's product feedback post. I agree this is an untapped resource. Lisa, is there any update from a product roadmap standpoint?

Hello Mollie Fabel, hope you don't mind me jumping in for Lisa. Thanks for posting and supporting this thread! This suggestion is currently not in the short-term roadmap of the Product team. I'll be sure to post here if there are any updates in the future 🙋🏻‍♀️

Upvote on this request. As a design team we need to see our files and follow the iterations. The filename of each iteration is close to identical, it is the thumbnail preview that is essential to following changes at a glance.

It's frustrating to see my Dropbox Mobile App shows me thumbnails of all my documents, including PDF and Office 365 documents, but Wrike still cannot. It's super impactful for Board View, Files View, Dashboards, new Table View Column that can show files .... etc etc.

Completely agree. This feature would be such a timesaver considering the time for Wrike to load a PDF image is always delayed and takes a few seconds. This would be a hugely valuable and welcome improvement by many users.

We've essentially resorted to reviewing creative outside of wrike as much as possible through creative presentation decks, etc. due to the clunky nature of reviewing creative within wrike. Long load times for files, no thumbnail view of pdfs, etc. Would be greatly helpful to creative work if this element was enhanced.
