How do I send many subcontractor agreements at the same time using Bulk Send?

First, open Adobe Acrobat Pro and go to the E-Sign menu. Select 'Send in bulk'. You will use one main document, called a parent template. Add all your subcontractor names and email addresses. You can type them or upload a CSV file. Acrobat will then create a separate agreement for each subcontractor and send them out.

How is sending agreements with Bulk Send different from sending them one by one?

Feature Bulk Send One by One. Setup One parent template for all. Set up each document separately. Recipients Add many via CSV or manually. Add one recipient at a time. Time Much faster for many signers. Slower, more manual work. Privacy Signers don't see each other. Signers only see their own document. Transaction Count Each child agreement counts. Each sent document counts.

Mobilization is three weeks away and I must get all subcontractor agreements signed: paving, irrigation, planting. Sending them individually has been slow. Advise whether to send them as a single package or separate tailored agreements, describe the minimal signature fields and confirmation language to include, and give the exact two-line cover message that makes signing straightforward and explains the mobilization date consequence.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

about this task

First, open Adobe Acrobat Pro and go to the E-Sign menu.
Select 'Send in bulk'. You will use one main document, called a parent template.
Add all your subcontractor names and email addresses. You can type them or upload a CSV file.
Acrobat will then create a separate agreement for each subcontractor and send them out.

A parent template is your main document that you want everyone to sign. It is important because Bulk Send uses this one template to create many individual agreements. This saves you time because you only set up the document once.

No, when you use Bulk Send, each agreement is separate. Signers will not see other people's names or information. Each person gets their own private agreement with its own audit trail, ensuring privacy.

Bulk Send is a powerful feature designed for sending many documents at once, often for business use. It includes advanced functions like creating independent child agreements and managing recipients via CSV. These advanced tools are part of the professional versions of Acrobat, which offer more features for complex business tasks.
