How do I send a document to many signers without them seeing each other?

Go to 'E-Sign' in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Select 'Send in bulk'. Use a single parent template to create individual child agreements. Add recipients from a list or a CSV file. Each signer gets a private document, and no one sees other signers.

Why should I use a CSV file to add recipients for Send in Bulk?

It saves a lot of time when you have many recipients (up to 1,000). You can easily add recipient roles for each person. It allows you to set default field values unique to each recipient. It helps avoid errors from typing names one by one.

What is the difference between sending one document to multiple signers and using 'Send in Bulk'?

CDecide — “help me choose”I want to design a bulk workflow so supervisors can request and collect routine signed…+

I want to design a bulk workflow so supervisors can request and collect routine signed authorizations from dozens of collaborators without manual back‑and‑forth. I worry about delegation, audit trails, and accidental overreach. Recommend a practical bulk approval design that preserves per‑document provenance, indicates who approved which item, and limits signature authority, and describe one guardrail I must insist on.

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

about this task

Go to 'E-Sign' in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Select 'Send in bulk'.
Use a single parent template to create individual child agreements.
Add recipients from a list or a CSV file.
Each signer gets a private document, and no one sees other signers.

A parent template is the original document you prepare for bulk sending. It matters because it acts as the master copy. From this one template, the system creates up to 1,000 unique 'child agreements'. This saves time as you only set up the document once. Each child agreement is separate, ensuring privacy and its own audit trail for every signer.

No, if you send 500 agreements using 'Send in Bulk', it will count as 500 separate transactions. Each child agreement created from your parent template is a distinct agreement. This means each one uses up your transaction limit. Always check your plan's limits before sending a large bulk request.
