Adobe reader showing no default email client

[no8286]

I am using Adobe Reader X on a windows 7 64 bit machine.  I am also using Office 2010 with Outlook.  When I click the email icon in Adobe reader X it pops up a window saying that I have no default email client chose.  Outlook is set to be the default email client but it still gives me this error.

What can I change so it uses Outlook as my email provider?

To change your email preferences:

From toolbar select Edit > Preferences > Internet > Internet Settings > Programs > Email

Select your appropriate email from the drop-down box and click OK.

Hope that helps!

Same issue here, but this problem affects several users in my company.

I've deployed Office 2010 x64 to Win7 x64 machines, all are running Adobe Reader X and all are having issues with the E-Mail icon.

Outlook has been set as the default e-mail client several times without results.

I think the problem has been solved in the latest release 10.1.3

Has anybody actually reported it to Adobe?  Posting here in the user forum does not consist a bug report.

[abdwani]

how does one report it to adobe?

when I visit their support pages and click through the workflow they simply divert the web browser to this forum.

Thanks Pat. I've reported the following to adobe:

******BUG******
Concise problem statement: Every time a PDF is opened, Acrobat Reader issues the following error "Either there is default mail client..." with a banner from Microsoft Office Outlook. I'm using x64 Office365
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Use Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise
2. Use Office 365 x64
3. Install Adobe Reader from adobe's site
4. Have MS Outlook as your default mail app
5. Open up a PDF and error will come

refer to http://forums.adobe.com/message/5854075

Results: Error message which is very annoying
Expected results: Should not present an error message.

Open "Mail"

Go to "Preferences"

Go to "General"

Set default to open mail to "Outlook"

Open Adobe

It will now show the option for "Use default account(Outlook)"; click and then "Make Default"
