For quite some time, when I select Save to PDF in Outlook (2013 or 2016), linked images do not display, just a place holder shows with a ? and I can click on it to take me to the page. An example would be purchases from Amazon. The images are links to the Amazon site. They display in my email, just not when I save it as a PDF. I have other users with the same issue from other sites, one in particular is Fedex when printing shipping labels.
We are using Acrobat Pro DC.
Thank you. Miraculously, after I posted this the option showed up in the ribbon. May have been because I was playing around in the Adobe settings as well as the Outlook settings. Anyway, I was able to uncheck the block download option and it works perfectly! Thanks!

Any way to do this in Office 365? I don't see an Adobe PDF option in the top ribbon, nor any way to add it.

Hi cromwelld,
These instructions are for Outlook 2016, which is the most recent you can download from Office 365.
To add AdobePDF to your ribbon, right-click any of the items that do appear in your ribbon (Home, File, Send / Receive, etc). This will pull up a window with 2 columns, you want the "Customize the Ribbon" column on the right.
Under Main Tabs make sure that the box for Adobe PDF is checked.
With Outlook open:
If you want to enable this for the web-browser version of Outlook then you might want to reach out to Microsoft support as they would be a better resource for their products.

Wow! Just like that it works! I would have never in a million years figured out how to uncheck the "Block download of external content" checkbox. Would have never happened. Thanks for making it such a sweet and simple solution.
