| Routing Type | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential | Signers receive the document one after another, in a specific order. | For approvals where one person must sign before the next, like a manager then a director. |
| Parallel | All signers receive the document at the same time and can sign in any order. | When the order of signatures does not matter, like getting signatures from multiple team members on a general agreement. |
It is very important to check all attached documents for signature fields because this is the most common reason a request 'doesn't work'. If a document is missing a required signature field, the client cannot complete their signing, and the entire process will fail or get stuck. Always double-check each document before sending.
The Acrobat Sign API is a set of tools that lets computer programs talk to Acrobat Sign. It can automate e-signature workflows. For example, you can use it to automatically send agreements, manage them, or search for past agreements without having to manually click through the Acrobat application. This is useful for businesses that send many documents for signature.
