Emailing from Preview screen

I have a client who likes to email documents from the Preview screen by clicking the @ button at the top. For the last few days when doing that the pdf file that is created by the preview function is cut in half; only the left hand side of the document appears. And it appears larger than normal so perhaps that's why it is cut off. Any ideas what might be happening? Of course when I use the normal print function and select a pdf writer it works fine but she likes doing it her way as it is faster.

Could you please post some screenshots ?
What data are you previewing ? How do you generate it ?

It happens with any document generated by the program and viewed using the Preview function. My customers do this thousands of times a day with no problem except for this one customer and it just started happening. You know how there is that Factor setting on the Preview screen. Its as though when you click the @ button it also is changing the factor setting to 2. You can even see it enlarge briefly before going to the email screen in Outlook in which the document is displayed with the right half missing and larger than normal as if the factor is set to 2

Perhaps. I will check. Maybe a System Restore will resolve it? The one thing she reports is that when previewing something someone clicked on that save as Word document button and the problem began after that.

You have two or three ways to create e-mail ..
1) Using Cdo
2) Using SMTP
3) Using the clients Outlook Client

For anyone who might be curious, it was an Adobe problem, solved by reinstalling Adobe Acrobat.
