The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for developers to connect other software with Adobe Acrobat Sign. It allows you to automate tasks like sending documents for e-signature, managing agreements, and tracking their status without manually using the Acrobat application. You can use it to integrate e-signature workflows directly into your company's existing systems, making processes faster and more efficient. For example, you can automatically send contracts for signature directly from your CRM system.
