Looking at the last four quarterly acknowledgements, where do responses stall—email deliverability, unclear instructio…
Log in to your Adobe Acrobat Sign enterprise account.
Navigate to the E-Sign section and select the option for bulk sending agreements.
Upload the mandatory document (such as a policy or disclosure) that requires employee acknowledgment.
Enter an agreement name and customize the message that will be sent to all recipients.
Add recipients by uploading a CSV file or manually entering employee names and email addresses.
Review the agreement settings to ensure compliance requirements are met (such as authentication or deadlines).
Initiate the bulk send to distribute individual agreements to each recipient for signature.
Monitor agreement status and download reports to track which employees have signed and which are outstanding.
Best practiceTo avoid email deliverability issues and domain blacklisting, consider sending in smaller batches (e.g., 10 emails per hour) if your organization has not previously bulk-sent from this domain.
You can track the signing status of each recipient in real time from the Manage dashboard after sending.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
| Method | Process | Signer View | Agreement Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| One by One | Send to each person separately. | Signers see only their own document. | Each send is one agreement. |
| Send in Bulk | Send one document to up to 1,000 people at once. | Signers see only their own document, not others. | Each signer's document is a separate agreement. |
Each document sent using Send in Bulk creates a unique, independent agreement for every signer. This is important because each agreement has its own audit trail, ensuring legal proof for each individual signature. This design makes sure that every signer's action is recorded separately and securely, even though they all start from the same main document.
The Send in Bulk feature requires an Adobe Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro for teams subscription. If you do not have one of these plans, you will not be able to access or use the Send in Bulk option. You would need to upgrade your subscription to use this specific feature.
