Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum file size allowed for Adobe Send?
Adobe Send and Acrobat.com online services allow files up to 100 MB to be uploaded and converted. However, files under this limit may still fail if they are too complex.
Why does my file fail to upload even if it is under 100 MB?
The complexity of the document plays a major role. If your PDF has a very high page count, complex vector graphics, or embedded media, the conversion process may time out or fail despite being under the size limit.
How do I repair my Adobe Reader installation on Windows?
Open the Adobe Reader desktop application, navigate to the 'Help' menu at the top, and select 'Repair Installation'. Once the process is complete, restart your computer.
Can a corrupted Outlook installation cause Adobe Send errors?
Yes, if you are using the Adobe Send and Track add-in for Outlook, a corrupted Outlook profile can cause upload failures. You can fix this by repairing Outlook via the Control Panel.
