Disable 'send as a link' attachment

[Rob293861073xdu]

Hello,

Until last week, it was possible to add PDF files directly as attachments to a Microsoft Outlook mail.

Now an additional button has been added where a link is shared and the file is shared through Adobe's cloud service.

Is it possible to turn off the option to send the file as a link (and thus upload it to the cloud) by default? So that all files go directly to Outlook as attachments by default again?

Thank you for this.  It was making me a bit crazy!  All fixed.

[Howard366391137abd]

Thank you so much, spent several hours delving thru Adobe to try and find the answer. Their AI chat is useless!

[Linda36903815413f]

I removed Adobe reader and just used Chrome or Edge to open the PDF file.  You can always use word or any office app to save anything to PDF.

The link in Adobe didnlt help.  I had to remove the Adobe addin's from Outlook.  That did it.

[Anja30155306vss0]

we had a diffeent solution for the problem: we removed adobe completely and replaced it with a different product.

I disabled the "Always send files as a link" option in Acrobat preferences, but it did not help. I rebooted as well after changing the setting.

Finally solved by disabling the "Adobe Document Cloud for Microsoft Outlook - Acrobat" COM add-in. Very satisfying to see the attachment not automatically converted to a link after doing this!

In Outlook:

- File -> Options

-- Add-ins

--- Manage COM Add-ins - press Go...

---- Uncheck "Adobe Document Cloud for Microsoft Outlook - Acrobat" and press OK

That works perfect. Thank you so much.

 This worked a treat!

Unfortunately I've tried both methods, and few days later it still came back for one of my users.  This is a terrible "feature."

Do better Adobe.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Strangely, that did not work for me (when I click Share File).

However, If I discovered that if I click on the envelope on the right hand side of the top menu bar, It does allow me to send email, so I'm giving up trying to solve the use of the "Share File" option.
(Notwithstanding the fact that the whole new interface has me baffled.. like how do I move the navigation tools to the top instead of bottom-right?)

[A30608646timj]

Of the many solutions posted, this is the only one that worked for me! (The "Manage COM Add-ins" solution)

[Deborah30620963xlbe]

OMG! thank you for posting the solution!!!! You just saved me a ton of hassle!

[Cliff30613319qe03]

We have been dealing with the same thing so I put our local IT person on it. She is a bulldog when it comes to issues like this. If you dont have Adobe Pro, I dont think its an issue. Adobe is a good program, it just wants to take over.

Glad it worked for you. It was very inconvenient.

[Jbananak]

I have pro and it didn't work!

[Patrick30638390epu9]

Thanks Peter!

This worked for me too. It's quite satisfying to end the frustration and stop sending photos of my screen from the phone.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  The change in Outlook as you have included it WORKS!  Much Much Appreicated!!!!!!!!
