Attach to email action not working in reader X

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 with a button to execute the "attach to email" action. This button works fine when in Acrobat Pro 8, but when I view it in Reader X, nothing happens when I press the button.
I need to do it this way as the email address won't be constant.
I'm running Windows 7.

I found an answer to my own question:
1. Create a button and select Submit a Form as your action.
2. Select PDF The complete document (to have the document attached as a PDF document)
3. In the URL link type: mailto: (This will open an email but have no email address selected)
4. If you want to customise the subject line then type: mailto:?subject=yoursubjecthere
This works in reader unlike executeMenuItem.

  • Adobe Reader 'Attach to Email' is not working

    I have a client that is running Windows 7 and when opening a PDF with Adobe Reader is unable to use the "Attach to Email" function. We tried this with Adobe X, Adobe 9.3, Adobe 9.4.2. None of these will work. An error occurs: "Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program." We get the same error on any of these versions. For some reason Adobe 9.3.4 upgrade does not install with 9.3, where I read in a resource discussion that this version should work ion Windows 7.
    Adobe Reader X seems to be a known issue with Windows 7 for this problem. My client recently upgraded from Windows XP and did not have this problem on that OS. A current work-around is to save the PDF then attach it to an email, but she would greatly prefer to use the Attach to Email function within Adobe Reader without having to save the PDF and manually attach it.
    Thanks for any help!

    I have the same issue using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 3.1.6 on Windows 7.  Attach to email function is NOT working.
    It worked when I had outlook 2007 installed, but I couldn't find where to change the setting to thunderbird.
    I uninstalled outlook.  Now the attach to email feature won't work at all.
    Thunderbird is set to the default email client in windows . . . this is extremely annoying!!
    File > Attach to email . . .  It appears this feature doesn't work with any emails client except outlook??????
    Attach to email worked on WinXP for Lotus Notes 8.5 email client (maybe an older Adobe Reader, version 9.4), but not after we upgraded to Win7. No Adobe Reader versions we have tried will work on Win7 for Lotus Notes.

  • Share option for email does not work after Yosemite upgrade.

    Hi,
    Does anybody know why the share option, "Share via email" does not work anymore after Yosemite upgrade?  I love this feature.  It's just quick and easy.
    Rod.

    On Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 no longer recognizes the Share > Send Via Email categories. You will have to export and manually drag/drop/attach documents to Mail. There is no fix.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly 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 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.

  • Exchange email will not work when offline

    Anyone know when Apple will fix this issue?  Email will not work correctly unless connected to wireless.  This makes it impossible to be productive while flying.  This is exclusive to exchange servers as it woks on POP accounts.  

    I know that.  When I work on my laptop I can file, reply, delete etc. and when I land it updates all the folders and sends and recevies all the mail.  the iPad will not let you file or delete emails unless connected.  This makes flying time completely unproductive.  If I have to have a laptop to do email why have an iPad???

    I have the same problem.  I called Apple this morning, they told me that they restored "half" of the people affected last night and the next update will be 11 am EST.  Very frustrating to say the least!

  • Email is not working properly and dvr is freezing.

    I never thought I would say this but I am considering going back to cable. I have been calling verizon for 2 weeks now. My email is not working. I did not get any email for about 3 days, then when I called I got a couple (I normally get about 70 per day). Now I get 3 or 4 a day and it seems I have to call them daily. Their server is rejecting emails. I have many things I am waiting for (business contracts, etc) and I am not getting them. CLients are telling me that their emails are being rejected by verizons servers. I am not getting any answers from verizon. All that happens is when I complain, I get email for about an hour (sporadically) and then it stops again. I have really had enough of it at this point. And the DVR freezing for the last several months.. well that is another issue. It is time to look into optimum again

    Hi mooster --  I sent you a private message so I can get some more information about the problems you're having and so we can figure out what's going on.  Please get back to me when you're able.  Thanks!

  • Cableone innstalled a new server and now my thunderbird email will not work. What do I do now?

    Cableone, our internet provider, has changed from a Google server to their own server and now my Thunderbird email will not work. They have directions listed to make it work, but this does not work. I have also contacted Cableone's technical support and they say because thunderbird is not their system they have no responsibility to make it work. I prefer to use Thunderbird for my email - how can I make it work? Also, I have tried the Thunderbird 'Automatic Account Configuration' help and it does not work.

    Ask your less than helpful provider for the server settings and setup the new account up manually.
    You want to know IMAP or POP and the name of the server. The port number and if it uses SSL/TLS security.
    You need the same info for the SMTP server for outbound mail.

  • IPhoto email sudddenly not working

    Suddenly my iPhoto email is not working. After I choose a photo from the library and push email and choose a size and compose,it starts to but after a moment the application freezes and the the BBOD appears and then the whole application shuts down. I tried at least 15 times today. Aside from this, I have continual problems with iPhoto 5 crashing. ANY HELP greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Close iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the file to the trash and launch iPhoto. You'll have to set the preferences back to your liking.
    If that doesn't help, then you can try rebuilding the database. Hold down Command and Option while launching iPhoto. Select the first 3 options in the dialog, then Rebuild. For more information read this Apple article.
    Regards.
