Log in to the Adobe Acrobat Sign web portal as an account or group admin.
Navigate to the Account or Group settings area, depending on whether you want to configure settings at the account or group level.
Select Send Settings from the navigation menu.
Locate the Send in Bulk or Send in Bulk (SiB) section.
Enable or disable the bulk send feature for the account or specific group by toggling the appropriate setting.
CautionDisabling bulk send at the account level will prevent all users from accessing this feature.
To restrict access to specific users or groups, assign users to groups with the desired bulk send permissions.
Best practiceUse groups to manage permissions efficiently when you have multiple users with different bulk send needs.
Adjust any additional bulk send settings, such as recipient restrictions or sending limits, as required for compliance or organizational policy.
Best practiceFor best deliverability, consider limiting the number of bulk sends per hour to avoid email blacklisting.
Save your changes before exiting the settings area.
You can manage which users or groups have access to bulk send features directly from the admin console under Send Settings.
This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
A parent template is the original document you upload for Bulk Send. It acts as the master copy from which up to 1,000 unique, separate agreements are created for each signer. This ensures all signers get the same document but their signatures are kept private.
No, signers will not see who else received the document. Bulk Send creates independent child agreements for each recipient. Each agreement has its own audit trail, ensuring privacy and that signers only interact with their specific document.
Bulk Send is a powerful feature designed for mass e-signature requests, which involves creating and managing many separate agreements. This advanced functionality requires the capabilities and licensing of Acrobat Pro or Pro for teams to ensure proper tracking, security, and support for high volume transactions.
| Feature | Normal Send | Bulk Send |
|---|---|---|
| Recipients | Few, added individually | Many (up to 1,000), added manually or via CSV |
| Privacy | Signers may see other recipients if CC'd | Each signer gets a private, independent agreement |
| Efficiency | Good for small groups | Designed for mass e-signature requests, saves time |
| Transaction Count | One agreement per send | Each child agreement counts as a separate transaction |
