Acrobat 9 - Attach to email - missing subject line?

I just upgraded to CS4 from CS3. In Acrobat 8 when I am viewing a PDF if I go to the File menu and select (Attach to Email) I am taken to my mail app and an email was created with the attachment and the subject line is filled in with the file name. With Acrobat 9 when I try to do the same thing it does not include the subject line. Is there some sort of preference I can change to get it to include a subject line?
I send a lot of PDFs to customers and that feature in Acrobat 8 is a convenient time saver.
Thanks.

I have both versions on my computer because some of us have clients with deadlines and can't afford to spend hours trying to find out why new software isn't working the way it used to or should.
I sometimes produce up to 50 pdf proofs a day from InDesign layouts that need to be emailed to my clients for review. It was so smooth to be able to just hit the button, have the pdf attach itself to a new email message WITH THE NAME OF THE EMAIL AUTOMATICALLY PLACED IN THE SUBJECT LINE, type in a small note and hit send. Now, thanks to some coding anomoly in 9.0 I have to remember to hit SaveAs BEFORE I hit the email button, select the name of the file, copy the name of the file, hit the email button, then paste the name of the file in the subject line.
This wouldn't be so frustrating if I didn't literally have YEARS of being able to use that feature. Also, if even half the features Acrobat purports to have even worked consistently I could see tweaking it, but it's been known in the industry since day one that most of the extraneous "features" don't even work like they're supposed to.
Portable Document Format was a brilliant concept and works beautifully as a way of consistently displaying and printing layouts across platforms, it's vastly superior to Powerpoint for presentations when the original design can be created in a layout program. Unfortunately Adobe decided to attach features to it that weren't properly tested so it's clunky to actually use, many of the features don't behave consistently or at all, and people can't create their presentations in it so they turn to Powerpoint because MS figured out how to make it easy to create simple presentations right in the application. Through the years, every time I've tried to use the features in Acrobat I'm left disappointed by the outcome and so now it's reputation as anything beyond a wonderful prepress and proofing tool is tarnished.
Also, on a Mac I don't know what kind of security issues could be in 8.0 that would leave me exposed. I open my own pdfs, files sent by my clients and others that I trust only. How is someone going to sneak past my firewall just because I'm running 8.0?
How am I exposed?

  • IMessage - Missing Subject Line?

    Does anyone know anything about the missing subject line in the desktop version of Messages?
    We really enjoy having that feature on the iPhone and iPad. I have been using the Messages beta and assumed that when Mountain Lion was released it would be added, but alas it has not.
    Still, Messages is great. I hope they add that one thing later. Maybe when they add Facebook support in the fall, it will get bundled with it.

    I was just wondering the exact same thing. I like having a Subject, but although it's easy to show in iOS, I cannot find any such option in the new Mac version. Just seems a bit bizarre that they left it out.
    Unless there's some secret mechanism to enable this. Perhpas someone could enlighten us.

  • I am unable to read my emails - the subject line comes up but then no content is displayed. It was working fine until yesterday.

    I am unable to read my emails - the subject line comes up but then no content? It was fine until yesterday. Any suggestions?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the email text shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Missing Subject line in Email after 10.6.4 upgrade

    I upgraded my OS to 10.6.4. Now my email has no Subject index line. It just shows a new mail blue dot or a half circle arrow symbol (refresh). How do I get the Subject line in the new Mail App.? Tried to use the prior Mail.app, but won't work with the new OS??
    Was able to get the FROM and DATE now, but still no SUBJECT.
    I've been troubleshooting this for two days now. I've reloaded and ran the update again, but same result.
    Anyone have a suggestion? How about another Mail App that works?
    Thanks for any help out there.

  • How to filter to trash email w/ subject line of huge length of varying cryptic characters?

    example from cropped screen shot:
    could not load; abbreviated transcribing of just some of the subject line text:
    =?iso-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGhhdmUgYSBmZXcgYwVudHMgb...

    As the subject line will change for every email, it is not worth setting up a filter for every email.
    Suggest you set up your Junk controls and train them to recognise Junk mail.
    Then select the email as 'Junk'.
    You can also setup Junk to empty on a regular basis,
    Work through the info at the link to set up Junk Controls.

  • Missing Subject line for the Approval Notification Mail

    Hi,
    We use CUP 5.3 SP7. We have configured the system for role based approval. We found that the approval notification mail being sent without any Subject line. It's configurable to set the admin mail id, but couldn't find one to set the Subject.
    We get the following content in the mail....
    View <http://<host:port>/AE/index.jsp?verifyApproverLogin.do........................>
    Can we set it somewhere from the configuration?
    Regards, Anil

    Hi Alpesh,
    Thx for your reply..But i think you missed my point...Let me try to explain it again...
    When we submit a request, the system triggers a notification mail to the approver(s). And this mail seems to be missing a Subject line... and it's shown to be sent from the System E-mail id we set at the SMTP server config.
    I couldn't find a tab for setting the E-mail format for the first approver  neither at the stage nor in the e-mail reminder configuration.
    Perhaps, setting the next approver will help if i had a secondary approver. But we are using a single stage WF in CUP. Am i missing some config step here?
    Regards,
    Anil

  • Email Output - Subject Line issue.

    Hi,
    I have an issue in changing the subject line of the billing output which goes as an email whenever newly created. I want to incorporate the subject line of the email as "ABCD Invoice for SO number '12345678' for Customer 'Customer Name' ". Here the SO number & Customer Name varies for diffenrent Billing document.
    I can do this change to some extend in NACE  Transaction but unable to bring the Customer Name in the subject line.
    Can anyone please tell how this can be done?
    Regards,
    Banu.

    I don't believe this is feasible with the standard output program, but you should be able to do this if you create a custom (Z) version and make that modification there. Not sure if it's worth it, but that's for your business users to decide.

  • Acrobat's "Attach to Email" fails due to tooltip behavior???

    OK, let me start out by acknowledging that I’m claiming
    my car won’t start because the bathroom light is on …
    but here goes:
    I’ve got a menu of PDF’s with icons next to each
    to open, print, email, or select (for multi-print/email) All of the
    icons have the tooltip behavior, the only modification being a
    slight increase in the offset of the tooltip. The tooltips all work
    fine, the icons all work fine, everything opens, prints, or
    attaches to emails (via a MAPI behavior I’ve written) as
    expected … except … if you open a PDF document and
    select “Attach to Email” from Acro Reader’s file
    menu, a MAPI email form pops up but hitting send does nothing. Once
    a particular instance of the reader has been corrupted it can no
    longer email any PDF, even those opened directly by the OS,
    however, my own MAPI behavior remains functional and I can still
    email PDFs directly from the menu … so the corruption appears
    to be in the reader, not the email client.
    Before you think I’m crazy, I tried a simple test: 2
    buttons, one with just the file open behavior, the other with file
    open + tooltip. The file open only behavior works fine all day
    long, the file open + tooltip behavior will eventually cause
    problems with the reader’s email capability … maybe not
    the first time, but after 5 or 6 tries the problem will eventually
    surface. Once the problem has surfaced, closing the offending
    document but leaving the instance of the reader open will cause all
    subsequent attempts to email to fail when opening the PDF from
    either button. Closing the reader will restore email if the PDF is
    opened from the non-tooltip button and we’re back to where we
    started.
    We have demonstrated the problem with both Acro Reader 8, and
    Acro 7 Pro on XP Pro. Anyone know what might be happening?

    I added these additional strings via Reg Editor. Similar to a previous posting and it now works fine.

    It's a simply time saver that our studio of over 40 relied upon everyday, and surprise-surprise, we outlay heaps more money for upgrades and yet again a feature has been forgotten since the previous version.
    MY GOD THIS GIVES ME THE *****!!!!
    Surely a patch to fix it wouldn't take Adobe any time at all.
    Does anyone know a way around it??

  • Missing subject line in BW Process Chain Messages

    Hi Experts!
    We are using BW3.5 (Support pack 16) process chains. There are a number of process chains and almost every thing is working fine.
    But 2 process chains, send message without any subject into the email.
    I did a number of tricks e.g. reactivated/rescheduled process chains, removed from scheduling and rescheduled, also deleted and recreated the message but nothing is working.
    Did any one else face the similar problem?
