Acrobat Reader is not using the Windows default mail app

The default mail app on the computer is the Mail app from Windows itself.

I have no idea why in Acrobat Reader in the 'Edit > Preferences > Email accounts' it says 'Default mail application (Microsoft Outlook)'

In no way I can change it to use the Windows Mail app. I don't want it to open the PDF as an attachment in Outlook but in the Windows Mail app

Greetings, 

It is much easier to comprehend the issue after you have explained it in more detail.

It is the behaviour of the design. Microsoft Outlook is Adobe Acrobat Reader DC's default email client. Follow the steps shared in the video link above to change your email client from Outlook to the default mail application on your system.

If you need more assistance, please let us know

Hi everybody,

I'm planning a two-day event with 80 people and different workshops. As a result, the objective is to purchase either the engaged or professional account. However, I am concerned about the participation cap. What do you mean by that? Given the number of sessions we'll be hosting, these 80+80 people will have access to the Sli.do event several times (most likely on the same device). Because logging in is not necessary to view Sli.do events; I'm curious how you count participation.

 Hi there, 

Thanks for clarifying the issue in more detail. It makes it easier to understand.

 Design behavior is what it is. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC defaults to Microsoft Outlook as its email client. Follow the steps in the video link earlier to change your email client from Outlook to your default mail application.

It is simpler to comprehend the problem the more information you supply.

It is design behavior as such. Outlook is the default email program, along with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. For information on switching from Outlook to your default mail program, see the video link provided previously.

No, I have no trouble switching the default mail client. My argument is that, despite the fact that Microsoft Outlook is not my default email client, Acrobat Reader claims it is. My computer's settings have the Mail app set to be the default mail client.
