Acrobat 7.1 Professional sends no more...

Hi dear experts,

i don楹搕 know why, but my Acrobat Professional 7.1 refuses to send pdf-files with Thunderbird. It always worked, but now (new Thunderbird Version 2.0.0.22) Acrobat shows me the info window, that there occured an error.

Even saved pdf-files I can楹搕 send anymore as an email ?

You know why ? Thunderbird is selected as the linked email programm.

I salute you

Acrobat 7.1 Professional sends no more...

Be sure that Thunderbird has been activated as a MAPI client. That is needed for Acrobat to access Thunderbird.

Acrobat 7.1 Professional sends no more...

Bill....I have the same problem.?Can you tell us how to activate Thunderbird as an MAPI client?

Thanks for you help.

Hi Bill,

I am sorry but what is a MAPI client ? I have choosen Thunderbird as my client in the Adobe options menu.

It worked always in the past even without doing this.

I have the same problem!

Today when I selected the ''File, Attach to Email'' menu item on Acrobat 8.1.6 I get a dialog box titled ''Microsoft Outlook'' saying ''Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.?Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.''

I have never installed Outlook on my machine, I have always used Thunderbird (currently version 2.0.0.22 (20090605)

It worked last week, why did it change?

How do I fix it? (get it to work with Thunderbird)

Anyone?

Acrobat only uses what you have your computer set up to use as the default e-mail application. You have to set Thunderbird up to be the default e-mail client. This is an Operating System issue not an Acrobat problem.

Check your Windows settings Forget what it's called in XP-Pro; In Vista it's called ''default programs'' in XP if memory serves, it's called ''Program Accessibility'' or some such. Set your e-mail there to T-Bird or whatever.

** Sometimes a system update resets this preference so that could be why it changed (at least for one of you).

Thanks for the info.?

I have checked all of these settings and Thunderbird is listed as the email client.

Any thing else that I might look at?

Hello, for a few days I had the same problem with Acrobat 9.1.2 in relation to Thunderbird 2.0.0.22.

Error when I wanted to send the file with Acrobat.

Solution (in my case):

goto: in windows configurations - internet-options?- tab programs - email 'mozilla'. Another option in my case was Mozilla Thunderbird (wich was the case when I had the problems). i changed it in 'Mozilla' and the problem which I had was solved.

Hope it works with you..

Sorry, I don't know. I do not have Thunderbird and often MAPI setup is a function of the mail program. In mine, I have to run a separate application to activate the MAPI. I am sure that if you open the help in Thunderbird, it will provide some information.

Hi dear users,

I found the solution. I have choosen Thunderbird in the Windows program/software menu as standard email programm and now it works again.

Thanks for your help.

I'm glad to hear that some people are having success, I am not.

I'm using Windows 2000 Professional.?In the ''Control Panel'' using the ''Internet Properties'' applet's ''Programs'' tab, I have the choice of the following for E-mail programs:

Hotmail

Microsoft Outlook

Mozilla Thunderbird

Outlook Express

These options cannot be edited from this screen.

If I change to ''Hotmail'' Acrobat will bring up Internet Explorer (even if Firefox is the default web browser.)?If I change it back to ''Mozilla Thunderbird'' Acrobat will give me the same error message asking that I set up Outlook.

Any other ideas?

From the Thunderbird site this was helpful .....

In the ''Control Panel'' using the ''Add/Remove Programs'' applet's ''Set Program Access and Defaults'' button set the ''Choose a default e-mail program:'' to ''Mozilla Thunderbird''.

With that, it works again.

I fixed mine by going to

Control Panel

Add or remove programs

set program access

custom

select Mozilla Thunderbird.

Hope it works for you.

Yes...you are right. Now it works again.
