| Routing Type | How it Works | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential | Recipients sign one after another in a specific order. | Use for approvals that need a hierarchy, like manager then director. |
| Parallel | All recipients can sign at the same time, order does not matter. | Use when multiple people need to approve, but their order is not important. |
It is very important to check that every attached document has a signature field. If a document is missing a field, the recipient cannot sign it. This is the main reason why e-signature requests fail or seem like they 'didn't work'. Always review all documents before sending to ensure a smooth signing process.
The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for developers to automate e-signature tasks. It lets computer programs send documents for signature without a person doing it manually. For example, you can automatically send contracts for approval directly from your company's own software. This saves time and makes the process faster and more efficient, especially for many documents.
