with this version of New Outlook, I am unable to directly open PDF's with Adobe. I first have to download
save it to a directory and then Open with Adobe. This was not the case last week before I upgraded. Is there a work around as I have searched high and low and I am unable to find an answer/solution.Be kind and respectful, give credit to the original source of content, and search for duplicates before posting.

Is that by double-clicking on the attachment or the 'preview' button available within the email?

I have also noticed another issue that has cropped up. When I send an email directly from Adobe, it opens up my "New Outlook" I am able to type and then click send and the email, will not appear in my sent items. That is very strange

Adding additional observations regarding use of Adobe Acrobat Professional in New Outlook. I am an IT support specialist for a law firm that uses Adobe Acrobat to archive all client email messages as .pdf documents in their file repository in Teams/OneDrive/SharePoint.
We have advised users to stick with Classic Outlook until Adobe and/or Microsoft improves the end-user experience with Adobe Acrobat integration in Outlook. With the Classic Outlook, it is a simple process to right-click on an email message and either save it as a pdf (with a custom name) or append it to previous messages in their paperless correspondence files.
With the "New" Outlook, the end-user must sign-in to enable the Acrobat extension within Outlook and then, instead of simply right-clicking an item in the Inbox to save or append it, the use must click another side bar icon and then is not given a choice to save or append but only to save or print. When saving, a snippet of the subject line is used and there is no option to add a date refence or file no to the name of the pdf before saving it.
This is a highly unproductive version of the Adobe Acrobat extension and a poor example of trying to incorporate a feature that actually works better in the previous Outlook version. When time is money - as it is for all legal professionals - this is a huge backwards step for Microsoft and Adobe.
Please note we will be sharing the same feedback with Adobe software.
