Environment: Windows 10.1803 Build 17134.81 on Surface; Acrobat Pro 2018.011.20040; Outlook 2016 1805 9330.2087 Monthly Channel
When clicking the envelope icon in Acrobat Pro opened to a PDF, this dialog box appears: "This email will be send using "Default email application (Microsoft Outlook)". Click on 'Change Preferences' to change your default account settings.
When I click [Continue] Acrobat closes.
The posted solution is to kill all running Adobe processes; run repair on Office 365; run repair on Acrobat; reboot. After the reboot, I still got the dialog box, was able to send one email with an attached PDF, and after that Acrobat closes after the [Continue] button is clicked.
Do we have another solution to try or word from Adobe on when the problem will be fixed?

Hi Jefft,
As per the issue description mentioned above, you are facing issue when trying to send pdf in Acrobat, is that correct?
Please try following troubleshooting steps:
1- Reboot the machine once if you haven't already and check if that helps.
2- If that doesn't work, check if an update is available for Acrobat using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu, reboot the machine after installing update and try again.
3- If issue still persists, try resetting preferences for Acrobat using the steps given in this link: How to reset Acrobat Preference settings to default. reboot the machine after resetting preferences and try again.
Let us know if you need any help.

I tried this solution but it did not solve the problem.
Is there another solution or is Adobe planning to issue a bug fix?
Thanks..

I found a solution that worked for those who have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2019.008.20071.
Even though this worked for Outlook 2016 (365), this cocktail should work for any default mail app.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately this does not work for Reader DC 2018.11.20063 with Outlook 365. In that version, the arrow is blue and the error message says “An error occurred while sending mail.”

Hi rfw1961,
Could you try installing the latest patch for Reader using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu, You may also download updates from here: Adobe software and product updates
Reboot the machine after installing update and try again.
If that doesn't work, try the troubleshooting steps given in the following help document:
