Have free Adobe Reader DC and Windows 10 on personal computer.

[rebeccal36096055]

I use the e-mail services of my internet provider and am not very computer savvy.  When attempting to attach a pdf  to an e-mail, I receive message that I must have permission of the owner or administrator, although I AM the owner and administrator.  What has changed in Adobe when: 1) I now have to pay(!) for the various "how to's" that are usually found in "Help" in most programs, and 2) I now have to give myself permission to attach a pdf to anything?  Is there any way around downloading yet another program or spending even more money so that I can give myself permission to do as I wish with a pdf?

I am using 8.1  64 and do not use cloud.  I am trying to download, install and get started.  It is not as easy as I thought it would be, just buying the product, installing it, and starting it up with the necessary documents (in English) needed to complete this.  I need help.
