Email document from Acrobat DC (Mac) not possible anymore?

Acrobat DC for Mac. File>Share File>

 

This now triggers a window inside Acrobat where I have to hunt down and insert the email addresses. Which, I guess will now send from some phantom site that won’t send my sent file to my default email application. 

 

Alternatively, when I click on the envelope it wants to log in to Google in a browser. WTF? 

 

How do I just open default email application with documen attached? As it has been working with NO PROBLEM for more than 20 years? Why does Adobe have to fix things that aren't broken?

 

And I have looked at other "solutions" for this issue. But they all seem to blame Microsoft or apply to the Windows version.  To be clear:  I am NOT on Windows. The pdf was NOT created through an Office application. No Microsoft product has touched any of this problem at all.

 

I have also done the Help>Check for Updates drill. Im on the most recent version.

Hey there,

 

Sharing files is now simpler than before. Now, the three separate icons in the upper-right corner of the toolbar represent Share a link, Send by email, and Invite people to your PDF file. You can use these tools to share a link to your file with others, send a PDF by email, or invite people to view or review your shared files.

 

You can now share file using your defalut emamil application as well. 

In the Send by Email dialog, do one of the following:

  • Choose Outlook if it is your default email application.
  • Select Webmail in the drop-down list and then select Add Gmail. Enter your email address and click OK. Enter the password when prompted.
  • Select Add Other email address you use. Enter the email address, password, IMAP, SMTP settings in the Add Webmail Account dialog and click Add.

Complete details are here: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/whats-new.html 

Sad to see that new UI isn't that convenient for you are its used to. You can share your feedback about this UI by filling this form : https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html its will be notified to our engineering team.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha
