but the SLister plugin which uses SumatraPDF is available as x64 since 2011.

After installing it I suggest to replace the SumatraPDF files with the newer ones from the portable archive at
https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/prerelease.html
Thanks. This is the best answer. I would stick to the standard release, intead of prereleases.

I came across this stream when I installed TC on a new PC. It took me a while to refresh my memory about how to enable pdf preview. I share it here in case any one is interested - I have used ulister for many years. The big advantage of ulister is it allows you to preview hundreds of different format of files including pdf and office files. The only trick (described in the readme) is to download Viewer Technology from Oracle.com and then unzip and copy the "redist" folder to plugin folder. Then magic wand is in your hand!

ULister is fine for many document formats, but not for PDFs.
TC SumatraPDF plugin is much better for this job.

ulister's main power is in the number of supported file types by just one plugin. slister and TCSumatraPDF are PDF viewers with many usable features thanks to Sumatra PDF reader they're transmitted into lister environment. They can also show many other formats, supported by Sumatra, but ulister doesn't.
But if you want just simple PDF reader, ulister can be enough.
