Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my address book not showing up in Adobe Reader?

Your address book might not appear if Adobe Reader lacks the necessary system permissions to access your local contacts, or if your default desktop email client (like Outlook or Apple Mail) is not properly configured in your operating system's settings.

Can I copy and paste a list of emails into Adobe Send?

Yes, you can copy a list of email addresses from a spreadsheet or text document and paste them directly into the 'To' field. Ensure the addresses are properly separated by semicolons or commas so the email client recognizes them as distinct recipients.

Is there a limit to the number of recipients I can add in Adobe Send?

While Adobe Reader does not impose a strict limit on the number of recipients, your email service provider (such as Gmail, Yahoo, or your corporate exchange server) will have its own maximum limits per email to prevent spam.
