Problem resolved, I went into the default Apple Mail client and selected Outlook or Mail as default reader and everything worked fine.

With Monterey, apps from Office 365 "File-Share-Send as PDF" has stopped working. Picking up on a months old thread that's now closed - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253321889 , the issue is exactly as the title says. Office 365 apps (Word, PowerPoint etc.) fail to do anything when asked to "File > Share > Send as PDF". All that happens is that the app + Monterey makes a little "pop" sound as it fails to launch the email ... I was on Monterey 12.2, but as of today, 12.2.1 and the issue remains. The machine is an Intel iMac 2017. Everything is freshly installed, rebooted yada, yada.
