Fix Adobe Send Recipients Not Receiving Email Notifications

Product: Adobe Send / Acrobat
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Sending files through Adobe Send and expecting automated email notifications for delivery and tracking purposes.
Observed behavior: Recipients and senders do not receive email notifications, making it difficult to verify if the file was successfully delivered.

Before you start

Ensure that you have correctly entered the recipient's email address and verify that your Adobe cloud services are currently active and not experiencing an outage.

Solution 1Recommended

Check Spam Folders and Verify Delivery Status in Acrobat

Confirm whether the automated emails were blocked by recipient spam filters and check the actual delivery status on the Adobe cloud platform.

Automated system emails are often intercepted by strict corporate firewalls or aggressive spam filters. By checking the activity directly on Adobe's platform, you can bypass email uncertainty and see exactly what happened to your shared file.

Check recipient spam folders

Ask your recipients to thoroughly check their spam, junk, quarantine, and blocked-sender folders for the Adobe Send email notification.

Sign in to your Adobe account

Navigate to cloud.acrobat.com/files in your web browser and log in with your Adobe Acrobat credentials.

Access the Sent Files list

Click on the 'Sent Files' section to view a complete list of all the documents you have recently shared.

Review file activity

Click on the specific file you sent. Here you can review its activity log and check the current delivery status.

Resend if necessary

If the status shows undelivered or the recipient simply cannot find it, verify their email address and use the interface to resend the file.

Activity Tracking: The activity log will also show you if the file was opened or downloaded, even if the recipient claims they missed the email.

You can log into your Acrobat cloud account, navigate to the Sent Files section, and check the activity log for that specific file to see exactly when it was viewed or downloaded.

Yes, you can copy the existing shareable link from the Sent Files list in your Adobe account and manually paste it into a standard email to the recipient without generating a brand new link.
