How to Send large files (say more than 1GB!) through Microsoft Outlook 2007? Did you ever have a question like this? Here is a solution now.
E-mails have become indispensable for all of us both professionally and personally. There are times when we need to send a time bound document to a certain person and then e-mail is perhaps the best and only generic way. Suppose you have a project and a presentation to send to your boss within an hour and Microsoft Outlook 2007 refuses to send the 1GB file through net. What do you do? Its kindda helpless unless you know about Acrobat.com plugin for Microsoft Outlook 2007. Using this add-in, you send links to files rather than file attachments from within Outlook. Sending links ensures that your recipients can download files from Acrobat.com, regardless of the size or type of attachment. You can send links to files on your computer or to files in your Acrobat.com organizer. You can also insert the URL to your personal ConnectNow meeting room in your e-mail messages or calendar meeting invitations.
Install and open the Acrobat.com Add-in for Outlook
- Close Outlook, and then download the Acrobat.com Add-in for Microsoft Outlook from Acrobat.com. The add-in currently supports Office 2007 only.
- Double-click the setup.exe file and follow the installation instructions. If you do not have Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 installed on your machine, it is installed automatically.
The next time you start an e-mail message or calendar meeting invitation in Outlook, you’ll see the Acrobat.com tab in the top toolbar.
How to Send links to files in your Acrobat.com account from Outlook
After installing the plugin, when you click on new to send new mail , you will find a new tab called Acrobat.com.
For file attachment click the “Insert File as Acrobat.com Link” button. This will ask you to sign into your Acrobat.com account ( If you are not logged in to Acrobat.com account ) and allow you to browse a file from your local system to attach with the e-mail.
Also you can restrict document access to the e-mail recipients (restricted access) or to allow the file to be accessed by other, in case your e-mail gets forwarded (open access).
What if the File is Uploaded Already?
Now if you have uploaded the file already, just insert the link to your e-mail by choosing the option as Insert Link from Acrobat.com. At right side it will displays the files that are already in your Acrobat.com account and you can insert them into e-mail by double clicking on the file name. You can also search and find and share.
How to Invite People for Personal Meetings from Outlook
To insert a link to your personal ConnectNow meeting room, click Insert My Meeting Room URL. The link appears in the e-mail message or calendar invitation. So there you have it.

Dumb question… is it possible to launch a confidential send of a form via acrobat.com (via this plug-in)? How does that work? |
