Is it possible to invoke the Acrobat Reader Email function? <br />
<br />
We are developing an online CRM/intranet solution and are using <a href="http://www.asppdf.com" rel="ugc">www.asppdf.com</a>&nbsp;to generate PDF files. After the generation of the PDF file, we present the PDF file to the user, using the local installed Acrobat Reader. Here the user has the ability to Print, Save and Email the PDF file. <br />
<br />
When clicking on the email icon, Acrobat Reader uses the local installed email client ie. Outlook. Is it possible to have the Email icon using our online email client instead?<br />
<br />
A work around for us would be to make a button on the HTML page that start up our online email client and attaches the PDF file. Can we then disable Acrobat Readers email icon?<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Invoke Acrobat Reader PDF email function from ASP or Javascript

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

Adobe Acrobat is a family of application software and Web services developed by Adobe Systems to view, create, manipulate, print and manage files in Portable Document Format (PDF). The family comprises Acrobat Reader (formerly Adobe Reader), Acrobat (formerly Acrobat Exchange) and Acrobat.com. The commercial proprietary Acrobat, available for Microsoft Windows and OS X only, can also create, edit, convert, digitally sign, encrypt, export and publish PDF files.
