Thanks brogers_1.

I removed the button "send file as email attachment" by registry.

but I cannot disable or remove "send file" under the menu "file" after I tried a lot of keys.

My version is just adobe reader XI

Do you have any idea about which registry key works on it?


/************************* Hide Menu ********************************/

//Hide the default File>Send File... menu item

app.hideMenuItem("Email");

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks Anubha,

I have read this Hide/disable the attach to email/share files

my version is adobe reader XI, I cannot find a key about "send file as email attachment" in my regitry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\AVGeneral\cCommonToolsDesktop

and also no "cServices" or "bEnableShareFile" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown

is that because there are some differencts between 2 version?

The instructions are really only for administrators in enterprise settings. Mucking with your registry without an understanding of the risks is not recommended. However, search for the preference here: Preference Reference for Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

Additional deployment and config information is here: Introduction — Enterprise Administration Guide. Refer the the preferences chapter as well as other sections.

Note 2 things:

  • The preferences are not often there by default. You have to create them manually.
  • You can only change the setting on machines you control.

hth,

Ben
