Question details

The sender needs to resend an Adobe Acrobat electronic signature agreement because the recipient did not receive the initial request.

How to Resend an Adobe Acrobat Electronic Signature Agreement

Product: Adobe Acrobat
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: A recipient needs to sign a document but claims they did not receive the email request, prompting the sender to find a way to resend the notification.
Observed behavior: Adobe Acrobat does not have a direct resend button for an already sent agreement, requiring a workaround like a manual reminder or recreating the agreement entirely.

Before you start

Verify the recipient's email address is correct and ask them to check their spam or junk folder before sending a reminder or recreating the agreement.

Solution 1Recommended

Send an Immediate Reminder in Adobe Acrobat

Since an agreement cannot be directly resent once initiated, sending an immediate reminder will push a new email notification to the recipient.

Once an electronic signature agreement is sent in Adobe Acrobat, the original email dispatch cannot be triggered again. However, you can achieve the exact same result by configuring an immediate reminder.

Access the Manage Tab

Log into your Adobe Acrobat account and navigate to the 'Manage' section.

Select the Agreement

Locate and click on the specific agreement that the recipient needs to sign from your document list.

Add a Reminder

On the right-hand panel, click on 'Reminders', and then select the 'Add Reminder' option.

Dispatch the Notification

In the time panel, select 'Right Now', choose your intended recipient from the dropdown, and click 'Create'. The recipient will immediately receive an email reminding them that their signature is required.

Workaround Success: This workaround successfully pushes a fresh email to the top of the recipient's inbox, functioning identically to a resend action.

Solution 2

Recreate and Send a New Agreement

If the original email address was incorrect or the agreement has expired, you will need to recreate the document from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the recipient's email address after sending an Adobe agreement?

If the agreement has already been sent, you generally cannot change the email address on that active agreement. You will need to cancel the current agreement and recreate it with the correct email address.

Why didn't my recipient receive the Adobe Acrobat signature request?

The email might have been filtered into their spam or junk folder, the email address provided could contain a typo, or strict corporate firewalls might be blocking the Adobe notification emails.

How do I track if a recipient has viewed the signature agreement?

In Adobe Acrobat, go to the 'Manage' tab, select your agreement, and check the 'Activity' or 'History' panel on the right side. This will show a timeline of events, including whether the document has been opened or viewed by the recipient.
