Question

Send multiple documents for e-sign and they are automatically combined into one document

I used to have no problem sending multiple documents at once for e-sign. I just drag all documents into the e-sign window and once the e-sign is done, I can just download each individual document separately.

But it's not the case anymore since about 1 month ago. Right now when I try to send multiple documents for e-sign, the system just automatically combines them into one document. And once the e-sign is done, I can no longer download individual documents. Even though the 'download individual files' option is still there, it's just this one combined document available for download.

Anyone has the same issue? Any fixes? Thanks.

Can you share a screen shot? I do not see a "Send in Bulk" option under e-sign

Once you enter the recipient's email address, click on more options. Once you do that, It brings you to the screen where you can add additional recipients and files to sign.

Hi All,

Just compiling some solutions from different people here for all:

Option 1.

The quick fix to that is, to click on more options as below and then add files one by one.

Option 2:

Go back to old experience of signing. - Mentioned by (Queensland Fi33359140zo1d)

Option 3

Use the cloud based interface on acrobat.adobe.com/link/home/ and the screen there is same as what one would get when pressing more options as in Option 1.

Please advise if it is not working and I will update this 🙂

options one and three do not do it. you may have missed the point of this thread. i also don't understand what your second option is suggesting; those are my current settings.

When are they reverting this change? We just moved from Docusign, and now thinking that was a major mistake!

To disable, login to acrobat > Click circle in top right corner > Click Settings.

Under E-sign settings untick the box Use latest verison of Request e-signature. Log out and sign back in, and you will revert to previous version.

Have you tried looking at this setting:

To do this, log in as an Account Admin and click the Account tab > Account Settings > Global Settings > scroll down to the section labeled: Merge multiple documents into one document after signing and select the option: 'Keep documents separated."

They have removed the functionality in the new version of Acrobat - very annoying!! You can move back to the old version - option was about half way down the menu dropdown. Apparently you lose some of the new functionality but the ability to send multiple documents to clients is more important to us.

Can't find the option to revert back to the prior version. I need to send multiple docs. Could you further explain where this option is as Adobe of course is no help

Hi Troy34462987pku1,

Thank you for reaching out.

Could you please let us know if the issue occurs when sending multiple documents at once or if you are trying to bulk-send the documents to multiple people?

It would be helpful if you could share your complete workflow and what does not work on your end. If possible, share the screen recording or screenshots.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

So you are doing something wrong because if you send one document for signing, you get that one document back and every signing party can download their copy of the signed document.

But thats exactly the issue. It's not just 1 document being sent, its the option to send multiple documents at once to 1 signer. Adobe used to have the "more options" button for advanced settings which allows you to drag multiple files without combining prepared fields.
