Unable to send a document? Here is how to fix it
If you encounter issues when sending a document for signature on the Autenti platform, follow the troubleshooting steps below. Most often, the issue is caused by a quick technical detail or your account plan limits.
Step-by-step: What to check first
1. File requirements and status- Size: The maximum file size (or total size of grouped documents) is 20 MB.
- Previous signatures and certification: Check if your file already contains a signature sheet or a certified signature (Level 1 certification). A document protected with this feature cannot be re-added to the signing process on the Autenti platform.
2. Document title
- Make sure you have filled in the document title field-it is required for sending.
3. Message to recipients (optional)
- If you add a custom message, make sure it does not exceed 10,000 characters.
Note that URLs (web links) cannot be included in the message text.
4. Permissions and account limits
- Free plan: You cannot send documents to other recipients on the Free plan. You can only sign documents unilaterally using the Autenti Classic tab (pen icon on the left menu).

- Trial plan: Verify whether you have reached your sending limit for the trial period. You can check your remaining limit status on the left-side menu.

- Company permissions: If you are using an organization account, ensure your administrator has granted you the necessary permissions to send documents.
