Attach as email locking up Outlook

Hello All,
This issue just started. Whenever one of my users uses the attach to email option the email will show up with two of the same attachments on two separate attachment lines and the email as well as Acrobat will freeze. We are using Acrobat Standard 8.  Any suggestions?
Regards,
Rob

With the x64 system, you may have to either upgrade to AA X or save the PDF and then attach it. Adobe does not consider AA8 compatible with Win7, particularly Win7 X64, though a few folks have succeeded to use it. The problem may actually be a 64-bit outlook. I am only guessing. Hopefully some folks who have been successful with AA8 will drop by and share their experiences.

  • "Attach to Email" option launches outlook rather than default mail client

    The "Attach to Email" option luanches outlook rather than Seamonkey, which is set to be the default mail client.  Any ideas regrding fixing this would be most appreciated.  This is Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO v. 9.0.0 running on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium 4.0 GB machine.
    Thanks,

    Not sure but this might be a Windows Control Panel Issue.

  • Adobe "attach as email" operation with Outlook set as default client.

    Case 1:
    I have adobe reader installed and have multiple outlook profiles. Outlook is closed and now i perform "attach to email" operation from adobe, choose profile dialog is not displayed and email is sent from default profile account.
    Case 2:
    Start Outlook and choose a profile to log on. After launching outlook, perform "attach to email" operation from adobe. Compose message window is display and send, message goes out. Message goes out from the account of default profile.
    In Case 1, Other applications like mspaint and winword, user is prompted to choose profile.
    In Case 2, email goes out from the profile from which user is logged onto the Outlook.
    I wanted to know about above observations and whether it is expected behaviour with adobe or a bug?

  • I wish to use Thunderbird from Reader as Attach to Email

    Hi I would like to send pdfs from Reader using attach to email without using Outlook but using thunderbird instead is this possible? I searched adobe.com for thunderbird but got no hits. I know I am very lazy because I know I can insert the file as an attachment from Thunderbird but there is an option in Reader to Attach to email. I have a new lappie and my trial version of MS Office runs out in 2 weeks but even if I buy Orifice my preferred email client is Thunderbird not outlaw. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    You can change this from the registry, but careful when you edit the registry so you don't mess up things with the system
    Start "regedit", and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail double click the (default) value and make sure it displays the correct client (in your case Mozilla Thunderbird). That did the trick for me!

  • Adobe 9 attaching pdf to email locks computer

    When I try to attach a pdf to an email using adobe 9, it locks up my computer.  I have at least ten end users that are experiencing the same problem.  This is an intermittant problem, sometimes it attaches and emails fine, other times it locks up the computer.  This happens on outlook 2003 and outlook 2010.  The operating system is windows 7, server 2008r2 and windows xp.

    Yes Outlook is the default client within adobe.
    i have found the fix which is a registry setting change. details below
    1. Create registry Key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook(if not there, create)
    2. Create String value: Bitness
    3. Set the string value for Bitness to: x64
    I hope this helps all thos having the same issue. this resolves the error of Outlook is not the default mail client and also allows you to use thw send to email function.
    Kind regards

  • How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

    Hello,
    Office 2010 32bit, VBA
    Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running?  If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
    I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
    I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
    I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result.  IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
    Many thanks!
    Julie

    Hi Julie,
    Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
    The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

    You may create the add-in to custom these actions (e.g. attach attachment, save email)

  • Acrobat 9.0 - "attach to email" function no longer works (Win 7, MS Outlook 2010)

    Dear All,
    All of a sudden, my "attach to email" function no longer works.  If I open a PDF in Acrobat 9.0, and I try to "attach to email," nothing happens.  This feature has always worked for me in the past.  When I check for updates, Acrobat reports that I'm up to date.  I recently updated Flash Player 16 and Reader XI (11.0.10).
    My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit, and I use MS Outlook 2010.
    Thanks so much for your time.

    Hi rlee711,
    You might need to refer this kb file to resolve the issue:
    Attach To Email doesn't work | Acrobat 9.4.2
    Although, Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Outlook 10, I would like you to prefer using only the supported product.
    To understand in detail, please refer the link given below:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

  • Attach to email - Outlook 2011

    Hoping someone has the latest on the inability to use "Attach to email" with the default email client being Outlook. Here are my particulars:
    Macbook Pro - Lion
    Adobe Acrobat Pro - 10.1
    Outlook 2011 - update 14.1.2
    I have searched various sites and it appears that Adobe isn't supporting Outlook for Mac. It works fine w/ Windows. Saw one reference to this being fixed in future Adobe release but that was unofficial and it appears that this is an old issue. I work around it now simply by saving the file and then attaching to an email from w/in Outlook but that is a bit of a pain. If you I try to attach w/in Adobe the application freezes and i have to force quit.
    thank for any info in advance.

    Yes the Acrobat PDFviewer Plug does nt work with anything but Safari on a Mac. In OS9 days it would work with any web Browser.
    But Adobe has decided That they will only support Webkit Browsers and refuses to support despite pleading with Adobe by people using Ecko based browsers. This leave more people unable to use the adobe PDFviewer plugin, than can. A fellow from Germany called Schubert has come up with a PDF Browser Plugin that can use any Browser Webkit or Gecko except Internet Explorer. The one caveat is that you can't fill out forms. And he is banned from putting that feature in, by Adobe.

  • Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 – Attach to email not working

    Acrobat 9.4 / Outlook 2011 / OS 10.6.4
    I am having a very annoying issue with the "Attach to email" feature in Acrobat 9.4. I keep getting the error below every time I try using this feature. I don't have the same problem if use/switch the email client Mail from Apple. Just wondering if this is an Adobe issue or a Microsoft issue.
    Thank you,

    Yes at one time Acrobat only supported Entourage, a ver obscure program called Mailsmith, and Eudora, and Apple Mail. (Eudora was taken over by Mozilla Or rather the R&D for it was handed over to Mozilla.)
    Yet most everyone on apple side of equation use ThunderBird, SeaMonkey, Even Opera.  the message I receive is That Seamonkey or Thunderbird doesn't know how to talk to your email clent. Yet in their specifications Mozilla products show they are Mbox compliant.
    On PC side they will talk to just about any Email except Mozilla Products. Its as if they put in features yet don't support software that can handle the features so most people are stuck un able to use the fetaures. Why can't Adobe get along with other software vendors. Is there Software Devopment staff so out of touch or have such a low skill set That they don't know how to write code but those name applications?
    I put a Bug report for support of Mozilla Products for uears do it about once or twice a year for last 10 years or so. Goes in one ear and out the other.

  • Adobe Reader X and XI slow when emailing an attachment out of Reader to Outlook 2013 32bit

    I have two new Lenovo 64bit computers with 32 bit Outlook 2013.  It takes over 45 seconds for the compose email to pop up when I attach a file or send a file through Adobe Reader (Depending on version).  I've tried the current version of X and XI.  Uninstalled and reinstalled both versions and also the Microsoft Office 2013 package.  It has to be something to do with Reader because other applications attach the email just fine.  I've exhausted my options and I am unable to find anything searching online.  I've found a few older discussions and none of those solutions have worked.  Any help would be great.

    Hi all,
    I found a workaround the problem I was describing.
    Apparently Adobe has implemented something called Protection Mode
    for a description see this link :
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html
    The workaround (I call it a workaround because you have to disable this new Security measure)
    is to do the following: Open Adobe Reader X --> Go to Edit --> Preferences in the menu  --> General --> un-check "Enable Protected Mode at Startup"
    Then you will have to click Continue and restart Adobe Reader for the change to take place.
    Now this is only a workaround as it disables all of the new Protected Mode security features so please keep that in mind.
    Hopefully adobe will address the Outlook integration piece so that the Printing script will be allowed to open and close Adobe like in un-protected mode...
    Hope this helps others who have been searching for a workaround...
    Kevin.

  • Reader 9.5.0 win7: using the Attach to Email... command causes outlook 2003 to freeze when sending

    Clicking the envelope icon or choosing the menu option works as usual, but when I try to send the email in outlook 2003 I get an error message that says "The email failed, try again."  Then Outlook freezes and you have to end its task in order to continue.  I've had this issue on two seperate machines.  Any ideas, aside from attaching the email from outlook manually?

    Does this happen for all the files or only files greater than a certain size?

  • Adobe X opens only Outlook when attaching as email?

    Is there a way to make Adobe X use a person's default mail client instead of only Outlook? Our organization uses primarily Thunderbird. When viewing a PDF and choosing File > Attach to Email (or clicking the envelope toolbar button), Abobe X attempts to use Outlook, which is either not available on our clients' PCs, or not configured for email at all.
    Thank you.

    This possible has to do with a wrong MAPS setting in your OS.
    You have to configure which app uses the mailTo protocol per default.
