How to share pdf file by email as attachment and NOT with adobe itself?

I want to share a pdf by email, as an attached file, but the adobe software forces me to share the pdf file by document cloud. 

When I have the pdf file open and I click File, Share File, the only sharing option is thorugh the adobe cloud or something. I just want to share the file by email, as an attachment. Is it too much to ask? How can I do that direclty from the pdf file itself? As preview and other softwares do. 

It is so annoying when a software forces you to use it even if you dont want to. If it was good, there was no need to force users to use it.

Is there not a way to have it disabled by default as an account preference?

Hi Jessica27589458cjcm,

 

To send the PDF as an email attachment by default, disable the "Send link in attach to email (Sign-in required)" option in Acrobat Preferences.

Go to Edit > Preferences >  Email accounts in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader on a Windows machine. For Mac, Application Preferences > Email accounts.

Refer to the screenshot attached below:

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi, with the new update as of today, this button no longer exists and has been replaced with a "share" button.  When I click the share button, it doesn't give me the option to turn off the link option and send as an attachement anymore. The checkbox under Preferences is not on, and I can only send as a link when clicking on the envlope icon or the outlook icon.  What is the new way to make sending as an attchment the default?  It just automaticall opens an outlook email window with a link as soon as I click either icon.

The envelope button is working for me now too 😄  The only thing is it would be nice if the file name populated the subject line again, so I don't have to re-type it for every email I send from acrobat.

this doesnt work for me.  it's untoggled, but i still can only send a link, not an attachment.

I've tried restarting the software - it holds the settings, but doesnt work.

This has rendered Adobe Pro way to cluncky to use!

You can use this free tool I've created to attach the current file to a blank email directly, without any of that link nonsense: http://try67.blogspot.com/2018/10/acrobat-reader-2019-quick-file-send.html
