| Type of Routing | How it Works | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential | Signers receive the document one after another in a specific order. | For approvals where one person must sign before the next, like a chain of command. |
| Parallel | All signers receive the document at the same time. | When the order of signatures does not matter, and you want to get all signatures quickly. |
Adding authentication, like an email or SMS code, makes sure only the correct person can sign the document. This adds an extra layer of security, which is very important for agreements that involve a lot of money or sensitive information. It helps protect against fraud and confirms the signer's identity.
The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for developers that lets computer programs send documents for e-signature automatically. Instead of manually clicking through steps, you can write code to create and send agreements, track their status, and manage signers. This is useful for businesses that send many documents and want to integrate e-signatures directly into their own systems, saving time and reducing manual work.
