Reader X: Attaching PDF to email in Outlook 2003

Since installing Reader X, it takes several minutes to attach a PDF to an email when using Outlook 2003 (installed on Windows XP SP3, with Outlook and Windows fully patched, running McAfee VirusScan for AV).
This occurs with any pdf document, regardless of size (all my tests have been on documents less than 70KB, attached from the local hard drive). Attaching any other file format is unaffected and only takes a second.
This problem does not occur for anyone that is using Outlook 2010.
Can anyone advise what is causing this / how to fix?
Thanks

The only solutions I have found are to either downgrade Adobe Reader to 9.3.4 or upgrade Office to at least 2007
Not really the best solutions - would prefer a proper fix.

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.

Duplcate Email in Outlook 2003

Hello
I have a client who has a brand new Blackberry 8330. Everything has been good until now. He is now receiving duplicate emails in Outlook 2003. My question is whether or not this could have something to do with the sychronization between the 8330 and Outlook in some way. I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere but I didn't see any mention of it on the forum
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I also logged out of webmail prior to attempting to setup outlook 2003. All settings appear correct, I even copied the same settings from my old computer with outlook working okay on my bigpond outlook mail account

TS1506 I can't open pdf attachements in my email from outlook on my iphone

How do I open pdf attachments in my email on my iphone

here is what is supposed to happen...
an e mail attachment is usually shown as a icon at the end of the e mail. If you touch it, and if it is a file type that the pad can handle in preview, it opens and you can read it. and example would be a word document.
If you want to do something besides read the attachment, you need an app. If you touch and hold the attachment you will ge a prompt called "open in", and any apps you have that can deal with that file type will ber lsited, you pick the one you want to use.
Sometimes there is no app on your machine to open a particular file type. You can go to the app store, and search for that file extension, and frequently find an app that will deal with it. Windows .wmv files are an example.
Lastly, there are some file types that the pad simply will not open, and there are no apps to be had either. Flash attaments, i believe the extension is swx, cannot work on the pad.
so - when you get an e mail with an attachment - what happens when you touch it?

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

AA XI Standard: No "Share" button to simply attach pdf to email without asking for review and comment?

In AA X, there was a "Share" button which would allow me to attach a copy of the current pdf to an email to be sent out. The pdf wouldn't be for "review" or "comment." Just a plain, vanilla, "Here's a copy of a document."
I can't find that capability in XI Standard. I found a way to send for comment and review. How can I just send? (Other than creating an email in my client (Outlook) and then attaching from there, which then requires me to navigate to the desired pdf).
Many thanks.
Ken

Vikrantt,
Thanks for your response. However that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Doing that invites the recipient to comment. As my original post said, I'm not looking to invite comments on the document. I just want to send it by email, as I could with Acrobat X.
Is there no way to do that simply? As my original post said, the only way I can see is to create an email in Outlook and then attach a file, which means I have to navigate to the location where the pdf is stored. A lot of extra steps.
Thanks.
Ken

Trouble attaching pdf to email

Hi,
I have a pdf file I want to attach to an email. When I try to attach it I get an out of bounds exception. It emails the file but I get an error and the pdf is actually empty. I'm guessing it's not actually adding the pdf, it's just attaching a blank file. Am I right in that I need to use the ByteArrayInputStream to read the file in for attaching? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to fix the dang thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
     MimeBodyPart file_part2 = null;
                    String pdf2Name = "dmtpage2.pdf";
                    String pdf2Dir = "C:\\\\lib";
                    System.out.println("Getting page 2: " + pdf2Name);
                    FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(pdf2Dir + "\\\\" + pdf2Name);
                    System.out.println("set file to stream");
                    DataInputStream pdfFile = new DataInputStream (inFile);
                    System.out.println("set file to stream");
                    byte[] streamInfo = new byte[pdfFile.available()];
                    pdfFile.read(streamInfo);
                    ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(streamInfo);
                    file_part2 = new MimeBodyPart(new InternetHeaders(), streamInfo);
                    System.out.println("Size of attachment is: " + streamInfo.length);
                    file_part2.setDisposition(Part.ATTACHMENT);
                    file_part2.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", contentEncoding);
                    attachmentName = pdf2Name;
                    if (attachmentName != null) {
                         file_part2.setFileName(attachmentName);
                         System.out.println("File name is " + attachmentName);
                         file_part2.setDescription(attachmentName);
                         System.out.println("Set description");
                         mp.addBodyPart(file_part2);
                         System.out.println("Added page 2");
                    }

Sorry about not formatting the code. I'll re-insert. Thank you so much for replying so quickly :)
It's not throwing an exception now. No errors. It attaches the file but when you try to open it, adobe says it cannot open the file because "the file has been corrupted (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't properly decoded)".
Why do I even have to open the file? I don't understand why I cannot just point to the file and attach it. From the output it seems like it is getting the file as the attach size isn't 0.
Oh, DrClap I get a compile error if I don't put the 4 slashes.
This is the the server output:
Getting page 2: dmtpage2.pdf
set file to stream
set file to stream
Size of attachment is: 407835
File name is dmtpage2.pdf
Set description
Added page 2
here's the code again
                    MimeBodyPart file_part2 = null;
                    String pdf2Name = "dmtpage2.pdf";
                    String pdf2Dir = "C:\\\\usco-dir\\\\lib";
                    System.out.println("Getting page 2: " + pdf2Name);
                    FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(pdf2Dir + "\\\\" + pdf2Name);
                    System.out.println("set file to stream");
                    DataInputStream pdfFile = new DataInputStream (inFile);
                    System.out.println("set file to stream");
                    byte[] streamInfo = new byte[pdfFile.available()];
                    pdfFile.read(streamInfo);
                    ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(streamInfo);
                    file_part2 = new MimeBodyPart(new InternetHeaders(), streamInfo);
                    System.out.println("Size of attachment is: " + streamInfo.length);
                    file_part2.setDisposition(Part.ATTACHMENT);

Automator attaching PDF to email twice

I've tried using a Folder Action, but the action is triggered twice and sends two copies of the email.

Any suggestions very welcome!

Attaching PDF in Email

After I have converted a file to PDF, how then do I go about attaching that file in an email?

Hi Joshua,
I do not have enough information about your workflow so I am writing very general ways to attach your converted PDF files to your email.
1. After converting your file to PDF using either https://createpdf.acrobat.com/sigin.html or Adobe Reader X or XI version, download the PDF file to your computer.
2. Open your email application and create a new email
3. Select "Attache File" or "Attachement"(depens on email application) then select your PDF file.
Please let me know this does not help you.
Thank you.

Attaching PDFs to emails

When creating a PDF of a MSWord document in File>Print>Save as PDF, the document gets saved correctly, but when added as an attachment to an email the entire document appears, not just the Adobe logo, as was always the case earlier. I've tried testing with earlier docs and a PDF logo appears, but now always the entire document. I use MS Word for Mac 2001 version 11.5.6. Documents attached to emails as docs show just the Word logo, as they should, not the entire document. So the problem is PDFs.
Mike

Note that this only controls how it looks to you... how it looks on the other end is completely up to the recipient's e-mail client and the preferences they have chosen.

Cannot attach pdf to email or fetch

I have one pdf that will not attach to my email or upload to fetch. I get this message when I try to attach to email: "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error." And I get this error when I upload to fetch: "Fetch could not put...because the ftp server encountered an error accessing a file or folder." I sent a note to my email provider and they tested and had no problem. I assume the problem is with this specific pdf but I can't figure it out. It is only 128 kb. I exported a new pdf from indesign, but still does not work. Previous pdf versions of this Indesign file also will not attach, though they have before. And other non related pdfs attach just fine. Any ideas?

Maybe you have some directory damage. If you know how to run fsck in unix single user mode, that is what I would recommend. If not I'd recommend booting from your system dvd and running disk utility to see if there is a problem with your hard disk.

I think that is the default behaviour of pop, i do not know how to set a kind of 'leave copy on the server' option. You could switch to the imap protocol if there is an imap server available. You can then choose:
<PostReadOperation>
<MarkAsRead/>
</PostReadOperation>
or
<PostReadOperation>
<DeleteMessage/>
</PostReadOperation>
To change this edit your ns_emails.xml file and fill in the IncomingServerSettings section.
The Reply To is the email address that the sender of the email indicates as address to use in case you would reply to his message.
