I just recieved a new Surface Laptop 7th edition running windows 11 and old outlook.   When I hit share button it will not open a window in outlook to send as an attachment or a link.   This is a serious hinderance of my productivity.     I have gone through all of the obvious fixes within preferences>email> ... etc.   No joy.   Unable to get anywhere with Adobe support.

Acrobat -> Menu -> Help -> About Adobe Acrobat Pro Outlook -> Office account -> About Outlook

When I open Adobe Acrobat - I can go Menu > Help > about adobe acrobat pro and it says Adobe Acrobat 24.003.201280

There are not option for About Adobe Acrobat Pro Outlook > office account > about Outlook as you have requested

My IT installed Adobe Acrobat Distiller on my computer, I had to change that I want the document to download as a PDF, but I can now use the share button. I don't have to save the document then attach it to the email.

I am having the identical issue!!  I spent 3 hours yesterday with Adobe live assistance.  The "helpers" spent 3 hours wasting my time to no avail.  Then after 3 hours the supervisor who took over just hung up on me.  He could not figure out the problem or the fix and literally just hung up.  Does anyone know what to do about fixing this???  Clearly, Adobe does not know how to fix this and it is real productivity killer.

By the way, I am running the 32 bit version of adobe.  I have tried everything.  I suppose if Adobe cannot fix it and I lost 3 hours of my time yesterday that cannot ever be recovered I should give up now.  😞

@Amanda23647224rhtn ,

Can you please also confirm if your device has ARM or Intel processor? Kindly take a note that Acrobat 64 bit is not supported on ARM based Windows devices.

Our CEO has a Surface Pro 9 Tablet Windows 11 Processor is ARM Microsoft SQ3 when ever he selects the Share feature in Adobe nothing happens.  Normally when you click the Share feature in adobe Outlook email will pop up with the pdf as an attachment, this does not happen when the share feature is executed in Adobe

Thanks @jamesm7883486  for sharing the Acrobat app version. We also need the bit version of the app, when you open the About Adobe Acrobat Pro screen, just next to the version info bit version is mentioned please confirm if its 32bit or 64bit.

Sorry for the confusion, to check Outlook app and bit version, please open MS Outlook app -> File menu -> Office account -> About Outlook

Sorry for the inconvenience, can you please share the app version and bit version (32bit or 64bit) for both Acrobat and Outlook to help us investigate further. 

You can get the above info from
