Adobe reader showing no default email client

I am using Adobe Reader X on a windows 7 64 bit machine. I am also using Office 2010 with Outlook. When I click the email icon in Adobe reader X it pops up a window saying that I have no default email client chose. Outlook is set to be the default email client but it still gives me this error.

What can I change so it uses Outlook as my email provider?

Open "Mail"

Go to "Preferences"

Go to "General"

Set default to open mail to "Outlook"

Open Adobe

It will now show the option for "Use default account(Outlook)"; click and then "Make Default"

Has anybody actually reported it to Adobe? Posting here in the user forum does not consist a bug report.

Same issue here, but this problem affects several users in my company.

I've deployed Office 2010 x64 to Win7 x64 machines, all are running Adobe Reader X and all are having issues with the E-Mail icon.

Outlook has been set as the default e-mail client several times without results.

I think the problem has been solved in the latest release 10.1.3

To change your email preferences:

From toolbar select Edit > Preferences > Internet > Internet Settings > Programs > Email

Select your appropriate email from the drop-down box and click OK.

Hope that helps!
