Adobe Acrobat Reader DC has changed functionality around sending PDFs to email. Originally there was a button that sent the PDF directly to your email app. Now it opens an intermediary screen that asks if you want to send links, or private links, or URL. In short it is no longer one click but a series of clicks to to use the send to email functionality.
