Where to Find Send and Track in Adobe Acrobat
Question details
The user is trying to find the Send and Track option in Adobe Acrobat to send large files but can only see the basic Send tool.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to send large PDF files and track their delivery/views using the traditional Send and Track workflow.
- Observed behavior
- The Send and Track option is no longer visible under the Tools menu, and the basic Send option does not support large files or the old tracking workflow.
Make sure your Adobe Acrobat software is updated to the latest version, and verify that you are logged into your Adobe Document Cloud account to access the modern sharing features.
Use the New Share and Track Experience
Adobe has renamed the Send and Track feature and integrated it into the centralized Share experience.
Adobe has rebranded the older Send and Track workflow. It is now seamlessly integrated into the unified Share and Track experience powered by Adobe Document Cloud. Basic file sending works with a free account, while advanced tracking features require premium subscriptions like Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat Pro DC.
Launch Adobe Acrobat and open the large PDF file that you wish to send.
Look for the "Share" button in the top right corner of the Acrobat interface, or go to the "Tools" tab and select "Share".
Select the option to "Get a Link" or "Create an anonymous link." This will upload your large file to Adobe Document Cloud and provide a link that bypasses standard email attachment size limits.
To check tracking status, go to the "Home" view in Acrobat, select "Shared" from the left-hand pane, and click "Shared by You" to monitor file views.
Share and Track Large PDF Files with WPS Cloud
If you are struggling with missing tools in your current PDF software, WPS Office provides an easy and intuitive way to share large PDF documents. By utilizing the integrated WPS Cloud, you can generate shareable links with custom expiration dates and permissions without needing an expensive subscription.
- 1. Open your PDF in WPS: Launch WPS Office and open the large PDF document you want to send.
- 2. Access the Share Tool: Click the "Share" button located in the top right corner of the application window.
- 3. Upload to WPS Cloud: Click "Create Link" to quickly upload your file directly to your secure WPS Cloud storage.
- 4. Adjust Link Permissions: Set the link validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) and specify view or edit permissions to maintain file security.
- 5. Copy and Send: Copy the generated sharing link and paste it into an email or messaging app to send to your recipients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Adobe remove the Send and Track option?
Adobe did not remove the functionality; they rebranded and merged it into the newer "Share" feature to create a more unified collaboration experience within Adobe Document Cloud.
Can I track PDF views for free in Adobe Acrobat?
