How do I make sure my e-signature request is not blocked by spam filters?

Ask your email administrator to 'allowlist' adobesign@adobesign.com. This tells your email system that messages from this address are safe. A blank sender name can also cause problems. Make sure your sender profile has a name.

What is the difference between sequential and parallel signing order?

Signing Order Type Description When to Use. Sequential Signers receive the document one after another in a specific order (e.g., A then B then C). For approvals where one person must sign before the next, like a manager's approval. Parallel All signers receive the document at the same time and can sign in any order. When the order of signatures does not matter, and you want to get all signatures quickly.

How can I add extra security to my e-signature requests?

You can add authentication methods for signers. This means the signer needs to prove who they are. Choose to send an email code or an SMS (text message) code to the signer. They must enter this code to access the document. Use this for agreements that are very important or have high value.

CDecide — “help me choose”Legal approved the addendum and Finance says we need the signed pricing addendum from…+

Legal approved the addendum and Finance says we need the signed pricing addendum from [counterparty=GlobalTech] by [deadline=Friday] so our quarter forecast holds. I have the buyer, procurement lead [contact=Maria Ruiz], and our CFO watching. I can't tell whether procurement is slow or the buyer is stalling for better terms. Tell me the most likely diagnosis, the single next message I should send [contact=Maria Ruiz] that preserves the relationship, and one non-negotiable boundary I must not cross in this note.

when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.

The Acrobat Sign API is a way for computer programs to send and manage e-signature requests automatically. Instead of clicking buttons in Acrobat, a developer can write code to do it.
