I have a user who is attaching a .pdf file that she created to an e-mail and
everytime it wants to convert that .pdf to a word document. Is there a
preference that needs to be checked/unchecked to stop this prompt from
happening?

Thanks, John

is she or the recipient getting the dialog to change it to a doc? Is she
using Acrobat or Reader?

She is getting prompted everytime she attempts to attach the .pdf file. When
she "x"s past the prompt, it attaches the .pdf file to the e-mail as a .pdf.
She is using Adobe complete v.8.

Thx, John

Not an Outlook issue. A program or add-on is trying to perform the
automatic conversion. Have your user for whom you are relaying their
problem here run Outlook in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe"). That
eliminates the loading of any enabled add-ons that your user installed into
Outlook. Then retest.
