Outlook 2002 - Allow/ No Allow message when sending attachments

[Rhodienat]

HI,

we have no exchange server but everytime I try and send a PDF in my email
attachments, outlook keeps popping up with the Allow/Not allow message which
is annoying to say the least. I know that 2007 got rid of this problem, but
my company doesn't want to use 2007 just yet...Any clues how to sort this
security issue out?

Thanks

While it is a security measurement in Outlook, it is an insecurely written
addin that you have installed that is giving the real issues. A combination
of the latest updates of Outlook 2002 and the addin might solve it already
for you.

Assuming that you are using Adobe Acrobat Professional which is giving you
that issue, you might want to disable its integration with Outlook. It is
not needed if all you want to do is sending a pdf-file as an attachment.

This free addin might help as well if you need the integration;

Hi Roady,

Thank you for contacting me so quickly today. I am completely dumb around
Outlook setup. How would I disable the integration of PDF exactly?

Thanks for your help in advance

If it reveals itself as an addin you can disable it via the following
