Executable attachments in emails saved as PDF

Aug 8, 2012 8:23 AM

Categories: Macintosh

Acrobat Pro used to save executable attachments when I printed my email correspondence to PDF. I'm unable to do so now and am not sure why (or if I was recently upgraded to Outlook 2011). I save all correspondence to PDF to avoid printing costs and waste and am required to save attachments also. Any help with a fix would be very much appreciated.

I use Outlook for Mac 2011 and Mac OS X 10.7.4.

Thanks,

Lyn

Adobe tightened the security sandbox for Adobe Reader / Acrobat.
In part, this added executables to the black list.

Thanks for the document, that is very helpful, but I don't think it
answers my question. Most of the attachments I need included when I
convert the emails are PDF files & they're not on the blacklist
(unless they were put there inadvertently during an upgrade).
