I have been looking around but can to seem to find how I can add the button for direct send a pdf as aan atttachment to email. I see this new blue button [share] but form there you get another dialog asking you how you want to share with 4 options. I do not want that as I always want to use email as attachment.

In tutorials I can see that the share section in upper right corner is dsipalyed as the 4 option there are. I can only see one blue button [share].

using adobe acrobat dc latest version.

You can do it using this free tool I've developed: http://try67.blogspot.com/2018/10/acrobat-reader-2019-quick-file-send.html

The code for sending an email attachement is trivial

this.mailDoc();

It's easy to add it as a menu item. but that's still 2 clicks. The post was about 2 clicks being too much. They want one click, which just can't be done in Reader.

Still, 2 clicks is better than 5... And it loads much faster, too.

This is just the latest button/feature configuration. It's likely to change. This is why the tutorials aren't quite right. These buttons change frequently. Put in a feature request, maybe the next change will break out the email attachment.

Thanks for you reply.

If I read https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/sharing-pdfs.html it explains and shows that the upper right corner give the 4 possible [sharing] option. But I only have the button [sharing]. So it will always take 2 more clicks to come to sending a pdf as an attachmnet to an email. Any Idea how I can get a button on the ribbon that just makes the pdf as an attachment to an email. Just as simple as in previous versions.
