Hey all,

 

Apologies for the delayed response here. I haven't been able to reproduce any issues with the Gmail extension since my last reply on this thread, however this is clearly still a problem for many people so will investigate further and follow up with our engineers. 

 

Will post an update here once I have an update, thank you all for your patience.

 

Regards,

Frank

Thank you! I really need this fixed. I rely heavily on this feature for my business and nothing I have tried is working.

I'm having the same issue.  It's wierd that it only happens with pdf files and not Word or Excel files.  Thanks for the effort to deliver a solution soon!

Same problem here. No problem with AutoCAD files, only PDF. We should contact Adobe?

Thanks Frank - have also been struggling with this same error message for two or three weeks - how is the progress with solving the bug.

 

Clearing caches and reinstalling the app fails to work.
