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!

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

Refer and try the suggestion from the following help article and see if that resolves the issue Attach to email option is not working | Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC

You may also refer to How to use the email icon to directly send file as attachment

Are you on Mac or Windows machine and what is the version installed?

What is the version of Adobe Reader installed? To identify refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Let us know how it goes and update this discussion for any further assistance.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

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.”

Hello,

I am still having a problem.  I am unable to send a PDF as an attachment.

I get the error message “an error occurred while trying to create a mail document”.

I am using MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.14 Mojave.  Mac Mail is my default email provider.

Please help.  My phone is {Personal info removed by Mod: phone number} if we can do a log me in session.  The options in your suggestions are for OUTLOOK…not MacMail.
