How to add Adobe to Office 2013

[waynem52618461]

My computer crashed and I had to reinstall all applications.  I reinstalled Office 2013 and Adobe, but I can't get the add-ins set up.  i have searched every article on Google. I've tried all I know to do.

I've uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled.

Which "Adobe" are you talking about?

[waynem52618461]

Reader DC.  I apologize.

You need Adobe Acrobat for this.

Which "add-ins" are you looking for?

[waynem52618461]

I'm trying to add Adobe Reader DC to Office 2013 so I can open emails when sent with Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

Acrobat Reader doesn't install add-ons.

You don’t need an add on either. What happens when you try to open a PDF attached to an email?

[waynem52618461]

What started all this was I received an email earlier on my iPhone with the pdf attachment.  I went to my desktop and my email program is outlook.  When I clicked on the email I couldn't see the pdf attachment in Outlook so I assumed I needed something to be able to view it.  I looked online and what I read said I need adobe reader dc.  So I've been trying to figure how to add it to my office program.

I should add the email  said at the bottom "This file has been sent in Adobe Acrobat PDF format".

By "couldn't see the attachment" do you mean that there was no attachment any more or do you mean you could actually "see" an attachment but you couldn't "view/open" it?

If the former, Test Screen Name is probably correct. Something stripped it out of the email and that's usually a rule set up by your IT department. If the latter, just install Adobe Reader, choose to save the attachment to your computer, open Reader then use File>Open to open the file.

[waynem52618461]

The former "no attachment any more".  This is my home computer and not a work computer.  I've never had this issue before the hard drive crashed.  I thought maybe the reader was missing and I couldn't see the attachment.  So, maybe there is an issue with Outlook?

For what it's worth I can still see and open the attachment on my iPhone.

Yeah, could be an Outlook thing. I really don't know. Reader shouldn't have anything to do with it though so I'd look elsewhere. Good luck.

Thank you for your time.

It sounds as if there might have been a mistake: there should have been an attachment shown. Or - if you saw it on the iPhone - it may have been removed by your company firewall.

Might be there is a problem in your Outlook, check it.
