Autofill subject line in Email

[alanr49869440]

I have just installed Adobe on a new PC and it no longer fills in the subject line in my EMail.

This is most frustrating as all the previous versions of Adobe Reader that i have used have done this automatically, with the name of the File I'm sending.

Filling in the subject line in a 100 plus Accounts Emails is a non trivial exercise, as i use the Subject line as a sorting mechanism and it needs to be entered identically every time for each client.

How are you creating the email? What command are you using? And what is the new subject line?

I've used the "attach button" which I've loaded onto the PDF toolbar and it brings up a blank subject line when the pdf attaches to the EMail.

In previous versions it's always put the File name into the subject line.

You can make a feature request here and ask for it to be changed back: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

The only other option is to use a script to send the file, which would allow you to specify the subject line.
It's even possible to add a new button to the File menu that will run this script when clicked...

For anyone still looking for a solution to this in 2024 and beyond, we just "upgraded" from Acrobat 2015 to Acrobat DC via a cloud subscription.  With Outlook (or your other mail client if any) already open, in Acrobat go to Menu, then click Disable new Acrobat:

That brings back the envelope icon in the upper right after a restart of the program.  Click it and choose Next (it should default to your mail client):

Voila!
