Emailing from within Acrobat Pro DC

After one of the recent updates, we lost our ability to send pdf files via email from within Acrobat.  We are using the Microsoft Outlook client for email and when we click the envelope icon on the Acrobat toolbar, nothing happens. 

Any thoughts?

Correct answer robkassab

That is most likely true.  But Microsoft is not going fix Acrobat.  And when the OS changes, the applications need to follow suit,

Users need Adobe to work on a solution, not point fingers.  Because we are obviously stuck in the middle.

Thank you.


Found a solution:  Open Programs and Features and select the Repair option for Microsoft Office.  Run the repair and restart.  The email feature in Acrobat will now work.

None of the published solutions have worked for me or my clients. Using Outlook 2019 and the latest Adobe Reader DC, which doesn't have an update button.  Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

This solution didn't work for me.  We repaired office and it is still the same issue.  Can you say if you did the quick repair or online repair of Office?

Office is also installed on my hard drive.  When I repair I have 2 options though, quick repair or online repair.  I am running office 2016 and acrobat DC Pro (not reader), but the symptoms are the same.  If I click the email button within Acrobat I get a blue circle and nothing happens.

I have the same issue on a bunch of machines now.   The common thread is that all of these computers have received the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.  I have computers with this issue with both paid and reader versions from 2015-2017 with all the latest updates for each version.  Generally these computer are using Outlook 2010 or 2013 connected to Exchange.

It seems to be pretty clearly related to the update, so hopefully Microsoft or Adobe will come out with a solution to fix the problem soon.  Or, perhaps this will go the more usual "head in the sand" route where this issue is not acknowledged to exist, or if it is, then it is blamed on the other party (MS blames Adobe and Adobe blames MS, meanwhile the issue goes nowhere).

Adobe Acrobat has already grown radically overpriced in the last couple years.  The pricing and this new issue really has me looking hard at moving our 300 computers to a competitor. nottheonlygameintown​

I am on the same page as Tedk.  After the feature update, none of our workstations can email from within Acrobat Pro DC. As you suggested, I did a full uninstall and a re-install, and still the same problem.  I click on the send email envelope, and it thinks for a moment, and then nothing happens.

Please help.

The screenshot shows that the version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Classic Version 2015.006.30355. the last update

And Acrobat Pro DC is a 32-bit application that can run and has been tested on 64-bit versions of Microsoft operating system.

I applied the 32-bit Registry update from October of 2016, but that is not resolving my issue.  When I click on the email icon inside of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I get the little spinning blue circle for a moment and then it goes away.

The resolution from the links you provided does not seem to be a resolution for our issue.

Thank you,

Brett

Thank you.  I know that I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but the Help >> About screen does not tell me the bit version (32 or 64).  Can you tell from this screenshot, which bit I am running?

I see that this same issue created lots of attention a year ago.  In the thread, there is talk that a patch was coming out to resolve the issue.  But I will still go through the recommended process.  I am running Win 10 64-bit, but how do I know which version 32 or 64) of Adobe Pro DC I am running?  I don't see it in the Help>About screen.

Thanks again,

Brett
