To email a PDF as an an attachment and NOT a cloud link

[TestriteVisual]

I came across this setting in case anyone has the same problem.

Problem:

Not sure how this setting even changed, but all of a sudden if I clicked the email icon in Acrobat, it opens my Outlook and just shows a cloud link with the following text

You can view "test template.pdf" at:

Solution

I was able to revert back to sending an attachment and NOT a link by going to 

Edit>Preferences>Reviewing and then UNCHECK "Share for review using Adobe's cloud storage"

Hi @michael_5028,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for letting us know that it worked for you.

The solution shared above is a step to completely disable the Acrobat Add-in for Outlook. 

I would like to add another suggestion.

When using the share feature-> click the Message icon with the attachment (screenshot shared below)-> disable the toggle switch for "Send a Link" in the next window-> select the Email client you use.

This should attach the file to your email client without creating a link of it.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if this is still an issue, but I found this on Microsoft's website:

Hopefully this resolves your issue.

Hi Really dumb question where do I find my preernce in Adobe? I go into it and it just gives me the documents I have tried to attach to me emails?

Changing settings in Acrobat Reader (2024 version) did not work for me.  I was able to change this behavior in Microsoft Outlook. 

1. Click on the "Attach File via Link" button in the "Message" ribbon of a new email message.  (Other replies mentioned an option in the menu bar, to the right of "Help", but I do not have that menu item in Outlook.)
2. Click Settings
3. If you want to have a popup choice every time you attach a PDF file, select "Always prompt while attaching."  I did NOT want to ever attach as a link, so I chose "Never prompt while attaching."

This worked for me.

None of these worked for me. On a Mac using default Mac mail client. Tried everything. Absolutely deplorable performance.

Where do you find this? Theer is no "edit"

Edit>Preferences>Reviewing and then UNCHECK "Share for review using Adobe's cloud storage"

On Acrobat 2024.003 or similar you need to click on Menu to see the Preferences button shown in the screenshot.

It's "Edit" on Acrobat Reader DC.
