Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Adobe Send plug-in available for newer versions of Outlook like Outlook 2016 or Microsoft 365?
The standalone Adobe Send plug-in was specifically optimized for Outlook 2010 and 2013. For newer versions, Adobe has integrated these sharing features directly into Adobe Acrobat and the Adobe Document Cloud add-ins, which can be found in the Microsoft Add-in store.
Why isn't the Adobe Send plug-in showing up in Outlook after I installed it?
Sometimes Outlook disables new add-ins by default. Go to File > Options > Add-ins. Look for the Adobe Send plug-in under 'Disabled Application Add-ins' or 'Inactive Application Add-ins', click 'Go' next to Manage COM Add-ins, and check the box to enable it.
Do I need an Adobe account to use the Adobe Send plug-in in Outlook?
Yes, you must sign in with a valid Adobe ID that has an active Adobe Send, Adobe Acrobat, or Document Cloud subscription to utilize the file-sharing capabilities through the plug-in.
