Outlook does not display Acrobat PDF files when you want to attach recent items to an email.

I was having the same problem with the jump list  not including pdf files.

I turned Outlook off, went to the settings - personilization - start - turned the jump list off - cleared out of settings, went back to setting - personilization - start and turned the jump list on again, started Outlook and tested the recent files list and there was adobe on the recent files list.

Hope this helps someone because I have been living with this annoyance for a couple of years. 🙂

Hello all, we have this issue across all our machines.  We have checked and enabled the setting as referenced in the advice given ("Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar") but the problem is still appearing.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Hi Martinm,

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are not getting pdfs under recent items when trying to attach a file in an email, is that correct?

Could you let us know dot version of Acrobat and the operating system installed on the machine? You may refer to the steps given in this link on how to check the version in Acrobat: Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Also, let us know if you are getting other files  - txt or doc files under "Recent files" in Outlook?

Let us know if you need any help.
