How do I make sure my e-signature requests are not blocked by email spam filters?

Ask your IT team to add 'adobesign@adobesign.com' to your company's allowed sender list. Make sure your sender profile in Acrobat has a name, not a blank space. This helps emails look more legitimate.

What is the difference between 'Sequential' and 'Parallel' signing order in Acrobat Sign?

Signing Order Type How it Works When to Use It. Sequential Signers receive the document one by one, in the order you set. The next signer only gets it after the previous one signs. Use for approvals where a hierarchy matters, like a manager signing after their team member. Parallel All signers receive the document at the same time. They can sign in any order, independently of each other. Use when the order of signatures does not matter, and you want to get all signatures quickly.

What should I do if a signer reports that a document they received is missing a signature field?

This often happens if you attach multiple documents but forget to place a signature field on one of them. Always confirm that every attached document has all the necessary signature fields before you send the request.

I have twenty standardized memoranda that each need three different agency approvals within two weeks. I don't want to chase fifty people individually. Tell me whether to implement a bulk signature approach now, route them serially, or get a single coordinating signature and circulate copies. Identify the one governance risk I must avoid and give me the exact short routing note to the interagency lead asking permission to use bulk signing for these memos.

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

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. It helps to prove who signed and makes the agreement more legally sound, especially for important or high-value contracts.

This often happens if you attach multiple documents but forget to place a signature field on one of them.
Always confirm that every attached document has all the necessary signature fields before you send the request.

The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for developers to connect other software with Acrobat Sign. It allows programs to automatically send documents for e-signatures, get updates on signing status, and manage agreements without manual steps. For example, a business system could automatically send contracts for signature when a new client is added. You use specific commands (like POST /api/rest/v6/agreements) to create and track these agreements.
