I must circulate an updated [document=policy] to [recipients=department heads] and record acknowledgements by [deadline=close of business today]. I don’t have a central tracking tool and must avoid chasing them individually. Tell me the fastest way to send the document and capture who’s acknowledged, what wording prompts quick replies, and one escalation step if someone doesn’t respond by the deadline.

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

the tool · the steps · what to avoid

1
Log in to your Adobe Acrobat Sign enterprise account.
2
Navigate to the E-Sign section and select the option for bulk sending agreements.
3
Upload the mandatory document (such as a policy or disclosure) that requires employee acknowledgment.
4
Enter an agreement name and customize the message that will be sent to all recipients.
5
Add recipients by uploading a CSV file or manually entering employee names and email addresses.
6
Review the agreement settings to ensure compliance requirements are met (such as authentication or deadlines).
7
Initiate the bulk send to distribute individual agreements to each recipient for signature.
8
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.

In the appWith the API

You can track the signing status of each recipient in real time from the Manage dashboard after sending.

about this task

Review the settings and send. Acrobat creates a unique agreement for each employee.

A 'child agreement' is a separate, individual document created for each signer when you use Bulk Send. Even though you start with one main document (the parent template), each signer gets their own private copy to sign. This ensures privacy and a unique record for every person.

No, when you use Bulk Send, each of the 500 people receives their own private agreement. They will not see the email addresses or signatures of any other recipients. Each agreement is independent and secure.

Bulk Send counts each agreement against your transaction limits because it creates a unique, legally binding document for every single signer. Even though they all come from one template, each 'child agreement' is a distinct transaction with its own audit trail and legal standing. This ensures the integrity and individual tracking of every signed document.
