Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a file size limit when using Adobe Send?
Yes, file size limits depend on your specific Adobe Document Cloud subscription plan. Free users typically have lower upload limits compared to paid Acrobat Pro subscribers.
Can recipients open shared PSD files if they do not have Photoshop?
If you share the raw PSD file via Adobe Send, the recipient will need Photoshop or a compatible third-party viewer to open and edit it. To ensure they can view the file, consider converting the PSD to a PDF or JPEG before sharing.
Why are TIFF files generally too large to send via standard email?
TIFF files are typically lossless and uncompressed, preserving extremely high image quality. Because of this, they can easily exceed standard email attachment limits (usually 20-25 MB), making cloud sharing services the best method for transfer.
What file formats are restricted on Adobe Document Cloud?
Adobe typically blocks executable files (such as .exe or .bat) and certain types of archives to prevent malware distribution. Standard image formats like TIFF, PSD, JPEG, and PNG are generally supported.
