For some reason...on my macbook air...I can no longer click the email button to send an attachment.

After it asks for default account (mail)...I get an error message from Adobe.

Do I need to ALLOW access to mail account somewhere?

Thanks!

    Same problem.  It was fine last week - now it won't work..  Geniuses "fixed" it again.

    Thank you very much. I am still unable to send an attachment after I sign it. Error message says “Adobe Acrobat is unable to execute the request.”
