When I create a PDF in Mac, Adobe Acrobat or Preview, I get a "PDF" label on the thumbnail and likewise TXT for TextEdit documents.

Since I already enabled filename extensions, I really don't want that.

I've checked Finder preferences and can't seem to find anything to turn this unwanted feature off.

Anyone know of a way to do this. I can handle Terminal commands and can follow instructions.

Thanks so much,

Gene :D

Thanks for that idea. I'll keep this open a while. :)

Just as a note, the new Acrobat DC renders thumbnails under OSX, but not under Windows.

Stick with XI if you happen to own a Windows PC and depend on thumbs in your workflow.

Disable icon preview from within the Finder's View/Show View Options dialog box.

Odd, I don’t have that label anymore. I never noticed. I cannot find a PDF or TXT file that has it.

Interesting and you are running Yosemite?

I'm running 10.10.3, so I don't know if it's specific to Yosemite, but sounds like it's possible it can be shut off. Now the trick is finding the tweak. :cool:
