You can quickly share a PDF document with others for viewing or commenting. The document shared as a PDF attachment will be shared by default email client or webmail.
Optional: The Attach a Link switch is turned on by default. The document is stored securely in Adobe Document Cloud. Recipients get an email with a link, and they can click the link to view and comment on the document in a browser; no sign-in required.
Let’s start sharing file-
1. Click the Send File by Email icon
2. In the Send by Email dialog, do one of the following:
- Choose Outlook if it is your default email application.
- Select Webmail in the drop-down list and then select Add Gmail. Enter your email address and click OK. Enter the password when prompted.
- Select Webmail, and then select Add Other email address you use. Enter the email address, password, IMAP, SMTP settings in the Add Webmail Account dialog and click Add.
NOTE: The Attach a Link switch is turned on by default; a shared view-only link to the PDF will be added in the email body. If you want to attach the PDF instead of the link, click the switch to turn it off.
3. Click Next. Enter the recipient's email address and send.
