As a macOS user, I’m frustrated by how the Adobe suite bypasses one of the platform’s most useful features: the ability to generate and email PDF files directly from the Print dialog.

macOS includes a built-in PDF menu that allows users to save a printout as a PDF or create an email with the PDF attached—no intermediate steps required. It’s fast, efficient, and built for productivity.

However, Adobe applications ignore this native integration. Instead, we’re forced to go through an outdated and cumbersome process: export the document as a PDF, save it manually, open an email client, and then attach the file. It’s tedious and inefficient, especially when the OS already offers a smarter solution.

Why doesn’t Adobe support this native functionality? Is there a reason behind this decision, or a known workaround that restores the ease of use macOS provides?

I really wish Adobe would respect native platform features instead of pushing users into unnecessarily complex workflows. It’s disappointing when a company with such resources makes everyday tasks harder than they need to be.
