Is there a way to change the default subject when attaching to an email within Adobe?

Using Acrobat Pro DC on my desktop.  When I have a document open and click the envelope to attach to an email, it now defaults to the subject "Emailing - XYZ.pdf" (using the actual file name instead of XYZ).  When I previously used just Acrobat it did not do that.  I am now having to delete that every time I want to send an email so have the appropriate subject to send to my customer.  But I'm not seeing where I can change that default.  It is not something that is from Outlook because I don't get that default when attaching any other kind of file.

I don't know if a way, but you can create a custom tool or toolbar button that uses JavaScript to initiate an email with the document attached and you have complete control over things like subject, recipients, body, etc. The most basic script would be simply:

mailDoc();

which you can test out in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) by entering that line of code and with the cursor on the same line pressing Ctrl+Enter.

No, you can't change it, but you can set it if you use a script, as mentioned above.

The full syntax of the code would be:

this.mailDoc({cTo: "me@server.com", cSubject: "Subject line of the email", cMsg: "You can enter the message body here, if you wish"});
