How do I make sure my e-signature request doesn't go to spam?

Tell recipients to check their spam or junk folder for emails from adobesign@adobesign.com. Ask your IT department to add adobesign@adobesign.com to your organization's allowed sender list. This helps prevent emails from being blocked. Ensure your sender profile name is not blank, as this can sometimes trigger spam filters.

What is the difference between sequential and parallel signing order for e-signatures?

Signing Order 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 before HR. 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 collect them quickly from many people.

What should I do if a signer says they cannot find a place to sign on an attached document?

This is a common issue. It usually means you forgot to add a signature field to that specific document. Go back to the 'Prepare document' step. Make sure every attached document has all the necessary signature and name fields placed for each signer. Then, resend the document for signature.

The Acrobat Sign API is a way for computer programs to talk to Acrobat Sign and automate tasks. For collecting MOUs, you can use the API to automatically send MOUs for e-signature from your own business systems, track their status, and get the signed documents back. This saves time and reduces manual work, especially when you need to send many MOUs regularly.
