Adobe Acrobat / Share Tools Options Missing / 29.03.2023

See this guide by Adobe that demonstrates what these options do and where to find them: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/using/sharing-pdfs.html

The sharing tools are normally located in the top-corner of the tool bar. See image below:

If these options are missing. You can try the following:

Method 1) – Check Adobe Version and perform updates in Adobe.

You can check the Adobe version by going to the ‘Help option’ on the top left and selecting ‘About Adobe’.

You can compare your version through Adobe’s release notes:

Acrobat & Acrobat Reader Release Notes: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/release-note/release-notes-acrobat-reader.html

If needed, check for updates.

Method 2) – Perform Adobe Repair:

Creative cloud can prove difficult to uninstall. You can download and run the Creative Cloud Uninstaller to uninstall it. See link below:

If your organisation has purchased an Acrobat license, then I would advise installing Adobe Acrobat Enterprise: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-downloads.html
