I use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. When I create a.pdf, I have always been able to send it via email from Acrobat Reader. Now, if I click "Send...email" or even try "Send...with tracking", nothing happens. In "Send...with tracking, it creates a link, but when I click "Email the link", nothing happens. I am using Windows-10 with Outlook 2010. This has always worked before. I even reinstalled & no change. Thanks. [email id removed by moderator]

Hi Wrkmpls,
Please try following troubleshooting steps:
1- Reboot the machine if you haven't already and see if that helps.
2- If that doesn't work, check if an update is available for Reader, click Check for updates under Help.
3- If step 2 doesn't work, go to Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > uncheck the box next to Enable Protected Mode at startup. Relaunch Reader and try again.
Please note: Disabling Protected Mode is for troubleshooting purpose only, and not recommended. Please turn the feature back on after troubleshooting is complete.
Could you confirm dot version of Reader DC installed on the machine: Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC
Thanks,

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, none of those steps resolve the problem. Clearly one of the recent versions has broken this previously-fine functionality. Here's the version:

I sent you a screenshot of the version number but apparently that was stripped out. The version number is: 2018.009.20050.
I am not using Microsoft exchange server (just a local desktop), so I do not see the setting from solution #2 in my options.
Turning off my antivirus software has no effect.
I have had the same outlook settings and the same antivirus software and the same Adobe Reader functionality worked just fine in the past. I did upgrade from Windows-10 Home to Windows-10 Professional recently.
Thank you.

I've got the same problem with the same favorable history. If I wanted to send a PDF via email I would click on File, then Sent To, enter an email address and done. Why have you taken away this easy solution.

Thanks so much. I know you wrote this a long time ago but I spent hours trawling the internet for a solution. Step 3 worked perfectly. Thanks again
