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.

Question mark around names received in Delegate email -- Outlook 2011

Looking for some guidance... Office for Mac 2011 / Outlook / 14.2.4 / Exchange 2010 SP1
Just installed Update Rollup 7 v2 last weekend.
Yesterday, a client called me to say that Outlook was reporting database corruption. I ask her to choose the option to rebuild since relaunching Outlook 2011 brought her back to same screen. The rebuild seemed to complete successfully and she used Outlook
the rest of the day.
This morning I came in to her office on an unrelated matter and she reported that she had a couple of items stuck in her outbox. I looked at them and, to make a long story short, found that the following is happening.
For this story:
* Steve delegates to Jo the ability to accept/decline meetings on his behalf.
* Jo, naturally, gets a copy of all meeting requests.
* Outlook 2011 is set up so that Jo is listed as a delegate for Steve.
Reproducible Steps:
1. I send a meeting request to Steve's email address. My email address is at a completely different FQDN.
2. Jo gets a copy of that meeting request.
3. If Jo opens up the meeting request email in Steve's inbox, the To: field shows "Lastname, Steve" which is how the display name is set on the Exchange server.
4. If Jo opens the meeting request and looks at the To: field in Outlook 2011 in HER inbox, the name shows as "Lastname; Steve;". Both names are highlighted in orange with a white question mark. Hover over the names shows an "Unknown" presence. Opening the
contact for "Lastname" shows a completely different Exchange user. Opening the contact for "Steve" doesn't do anything.
5. If Jo makes accepts or declines the invitation in HER inbox, the message gets stuck in the outbox and the Outlook logs an HTTP 500 error for every mail send attempt.
What I've attempted to resolve the problem:
1. Deleted, created, rebuilt the various identities on the Mac.
2. Changing the Directory Lookup URL within Outlook 2011 to the https:// FQDN.
3. Followed instructions found elsewhere to delete the Mac-equivalent OAB and attempted redownload of the OAB. Searching for names in the company directory seems to work fine.
4. Created a new Mac user and tested from there. (Same issue.)
5. Followed instructions (here) to completely remove Office and reinstall. (Although I must have missed something because Jo's open windows and position were retained.)
6. Set up a new Exchange account before and after reinstall and before and after installation of latest Office 2011 updates. (The download of Office 2011 available to me is Post-SP2. I understand that some folks on this forum have had to go back to a version
somewhere between SP1 and SP2. I cannot test this, at least right now.)
Other bits of information:
* The Exchange server (2010 inside SBS 2011) is not on-premises. This is a satellite office. Mac and PC Outlooks are configured to use Outlook Anywhere.
* MCRA tests are successful.
* I have tested on another Mac running Outlook 2011 14.2.1. Same problem.
* I have tested another user who is also a Delegate. The other person doesn't use a Mac, but when I set her up in Outlook 2011 14.2.1, she has the same issue.
* Mac is running Mountain Lion, 10.8.2. The Mac is about two weeks old.
* I do not know that any of our other Mac users are experiencing anything similar, although I think that none of them are Delegates.
* Mails directly from Steve to Jo show the proper name within the To: field
* I have not tested setting up an auto-forward from Steve to Jo's mailbox, sending mail to Steve, and seeing what the To: field shows in Jo's copy. (Might be interesting.)
* If Jo accepts/declines appointments from within Steve's Inbox directly, those acceptances and declines transmit successfully.
The most disheartening thing about all of this is that I see that other people are having the problem. Some of you have contributed to
a fairly large thread about it the Answers forum. However that is literally ALL of the information I can find in my searching. (The Answers guys asked me to post here.)
At the moment, I have a workaround in that Jo can accept/decline directly from Steve's inbox.
Any help -- any -- even new career thoughts are appreciated!!

Simon,
Here's an update:
I opened up a case with Microsoft PSS.
After speaking to the SBS team for a few days -- and they did a stellar job, in my opinion -- the tech suggested we speak to the Outlook for Mac team, just in case there was something there. The OFM team had one request:
Remove Jo from "Full Access" Exchange permissions on Steve's account.
Boom. That did it. Outlook 2011 (Mac) accepts/declines work fine now.
According to the OFM team, FA and Delegation permissions can conflict with one another over EWS. They have admitted that they are not doing a root-cause analysis. Perhaps, I can request that. However, I am pretty
pleased and relieved that I didn't have to rebuild mailboxes or something just as onerous.

Attachment Uploads in Outlook 2011 are Very Slow

I have noticed that if I attach a large file in the Outlook client, a 5-10MB file can take 10Mins. If I attach the same file using the web interface (Chrome OWA), the file uploads in seconds.
We use Exchange 2010. I'm on a MacBook Pro, current model with latest Lion installed.
Any help appreciated.

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as it's their applicadtions you're having issues with and Apple Communities only provide suport for Apple products:

Is there a known issue with Mavericks and Outlook 2011 printing?

Title says it all. I was reading up on past forums both Apple/Microsoft when 10.6.8 messed up Outlook printing, was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. I am currently on 10.9.2. I began noticing the issues after updating to 10.9.2.
To clarify, as a user I can open attached documents from Outlook 2011 and print them that way. But if I use Command + P, or right click, or any other method I cannot print the actual message of the email. The icon will blink when proper keys are pressed but it will do nothing. Nothing is pending in print queue either.

Attach to email not working with Outlook 2011

I've created a pdf document for users to fill out and then click a SUBMIT button which attaches the document to an email and sends it back to me. It works great with Windows users, however, it fails to create an email for Mac users with Outlook 2011. It opens the program but doesn't create an email. I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
Can someone please help in fixing this matter as there are people that use Macs.
Thanks

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.

Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
All software is up-to-date.
In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
Thanks for any advise.

Take the bhama way
figured out how to make it work. I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
For those who are interested, this is what I did:
1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
to. Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
desktop
4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list. I chose,
"Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
Item" from the first drop down menu.
6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your file
something other than the Acrobat default.
7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name. Mine is, "PDF to
Email".
9. Close Automator
10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
you created) Mine is "PDF to Email". It will take a few seconds, but you
will get an "Action Completed". You will get a pop up that allows you to
name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
attached and ready for sending.
You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
work for you.

Send PDF as email attachment using Outlook 2011 ERROR

Every time I try to send a PDF as an email attachment, I get the following error:
"An error occurred while trying to create a mail document. Acrobat is unable to complete your request."
Prior to getting this error, every time I sent an email Adobe would open the default Mail program on the mac. I opened mail and changed the preference to use Outlook 2011 as the default mail program, but this did not correct the error.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

If adobe was smart it would be added in the update rather than in than in AcrobatXI And while at it they need to add support for SeaMonkey and Thunderbird as well. You've been ingnoring of Dissing Mozilla Products since OSX has been out.

Fetching of attached files delayed, minutes-hours in Outlook 2011 for Mac from Exchange online

Hi,
I have an annoying problem I would be grateful if someone could solve.
I run Outlook 2011 for Mac which is synced towards Microsoft Exchange online. Everything works well except when there are attached files in incoming emails. Sometimes it can take up to hours before an attached file is available (the email as such is
available immediately), however luckily it is mostly done within 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile the notification bar switch between "Awaiting synchronisation for this folder" and "Fetching attached files...". There is no actual difference between
larger and smaller files and there is also no problem sending emails with attached files, they are sent immediately.
I have tested in different locations with good connections to rule out unstable internet connection without success.
Thanks for any help with this issue!

Slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac?)

We're experiencing slow attachment upload with Exchange Web Services versus MAPI, OWA, and Outlook Anywhere. I'm not totally certain that it is Exchange Web Services or specifically Outlook 2011 for Mac. I attempted to test with the Mac Mail
App, but it makes it difficult to tell when the attachment has been uploaded and the file has been sent. Here's what we're seeing (10mb file):
MAPI / RPC/HTTPS / OWA: 10-15 seconds upload time
Exchange Web Services (Outlook 2011 for Mac): 60-90 seconds upload time
Thoughts? Any idea why we would see such a drastic difference in attachment upload time? Any way to prove definitively that it is Exchange Web Services vs. Outlook 2011 for Mac? We've tried it from multiple locations with multiple different machines,
and although the upload times vary (some locations have more bandwidth etc) the ratios remain similar.

Hi ,
Does all the user occurred the issue ?
If only special user, I recommend you do the following steps and test:
1.Remove and re-add the email account and check if this helps to resolve the issue.
To remove and add the email accounts:
Open Outlook > GO to Tools > Accounts > Click on "Minus" symbol to remove and "Plus" to add an Email account.
2.Creating a new user profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2439218/
3. If the issue persists, rebuild the data base and check the results:

You can also post it on Office for MAC forum to get special support about the difference between Outlook and Outlook for MAC.
