when i open an outlook attached pdf in acrobat x my custom toolbars are not there
When I open a pdf attached to an email in Outlook 2010 none of the custom toolbars that I created in Acrobat X are visible. I can, however, make them appear by selecting "Customize" on the far right of the toolbar and selecting one.
If I save the email attached pdf first and then click on it to open it in Acrobat, my custom toolbars are there. Is there a way to make my toolbars appear when invoked from Outlook 2010?

Sorry it took so long to get back here. Anyway, I accidently said I had version X when I actually do have version XI but if you can't duplicate it, perhaps I have some setting wrong.
Can you get to the custom view via the toolbar?

Yes, that does work. I would prefer it to be the default.
Try disabling or deleting the add-ons so its not pulling up via the Outlook add-in but rather the native Acrobat application. That should do it.
Here is how to disable the add-ins for Outlook 2010: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/enable-or-disable-add-ins-in-office-programs-HA010034127.aspx#BM9

Following the "enable-disable" link instructions, I did that but after restarting Outlook, it made no difference. It still opens up pdfs with the default "Quick Tools" toolbar. Oh, well, like you said maybe it's just a bug.

The problem is not severe enough to make me want to go through the whole process of deleting the add-ins I have in Outlook and/or uninstall Acrobat. That procedure has caused me to many headaches in the past. So, because of my unwillingness, I will accept that your answer could have solved the problem.
This may be a bug I'm version X...I can't duplicate this in XI. It should pull up the standard view at created in the application.
