send as email opens in outlook but then I can't open the attachment

Report · May 14, 2019

My Accounting person has been doing things the same way for a long time. They get an Adobe PDF from a web portal. They download and open this file.

They use the adobe window and click the email button. We click send as attachment and click continue.

This opens the Outlook email message with the file attached.

The issue is that the accounting person wants to open this file in the outlook message to verify it.

This was working until last week.

Any ideas?

It stopped working on all computers in the office. So this wasn't a preference change.

Help me out.

Hello Mariac,

I am sorry for the trouble, please try the solution shared in the Adobe help article How to use the email icon to directly send file as attachment Reboot the machine and check.

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed, check for any pending updates of Adobe Reader from help>check for updates. Reboot the machine again after updating Adobe Reader.

Let us know if you experience any issue.

Thanks,

Hi arthurv4455903,

We checked on the previous versions Acrobat and the behaviour remains the same, it has not changed .i.e

i). On Mac machine, we are able to open PDF from Outlook draft window email

ii). On Windows machine, we are not able to open PDF from Outlook draft window email because draft email opens as a modal dialogue on Windows machines.

Please let us know why do you see it as a changed behaviour, do you face this issue on Mac systems?

Regards,

Arvind

this does not seem to work anymore. When pressing the emai button nothing happens.
