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.
Bulk Send lets you send one document to many people at the same time for their e-signatures. Instead of sending each document separately, you create one main document (a parent template), and Bulk Send creates up to 1,000 unique copies (child agreements) for your signers. This saves a lot of time when you have many people who need to sign the same document.
Each document sent with Bulk Send is a 'child agreement' that is unique to one signer. It has its own audit trail, which means Adobe tracks all actions related to that specific document. This ensures legal validity and privacy for each signer, but it also means each child agreement counts separately against your total transaction limits for your Adobe Acrobat plan.
No, when you use Bulk Send, each signer receives their own independent 'child agreement'. They do not see who else received the document or any information about other signers. This keeps all signing processes private and secure.
