How do I send a document for e-signature in Acrobat?

First, open your document in Acrobat. Click on the 'E-Sign' tool. Choose 'Request e-signatures'. Enter the names and emails of the people who need to sign. Drag signature fields onto the document for each person. Review and then send the document.

What is the difference between sequential and parallel signing order?

Signing Order How it works When to use it. Sequential Signers receive the document one by one, in a set order. For approvals that need to go up a chain, like a manager then a director. Parallel All signers get the document at the same time. When the order does not matter, and everyone can sign at once, like a team agreement.

Why would an e-signature request not be delivered to a recipient?

The recipient's email address might have a typo. A required signature field could be missing on one of the documents. The email from adobesign@adobesign.com might be blocked by the recipient's spam filter. Ask them to add it to their safe sender list.

CDecide — “help me choose”I drafted a treatment plan for Jonah and need multidisciplinary team feedback by tomorrow…+

I drafted a treatment plan for Jonah and need multidisciplinary team feedback by tomorrow morning. I’ve already shared it once and only got one comment from the occupational therapist. I can't tell if silence is agreement or missed email. Diagnose whether this looks like inattention or substantive disagreement, and give me a short, warm message to collect focused feedback and a method to capture approval in one place.

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

Yes, you can add more security. When you set up the signature request, choose to add authentication. This means the signer will need to enter a code sent to their email or phone (SMS) before they can sign. This is good for very important documents.

The Acrobat Sign API is a way for computer programs to send documents for e-signature automatically. Instead of doing it manually in the Acrobat app, your own software can connect to Acrobat Sign. This is useful for businesses that send many documents for signature every day. It means you can build e-signature features directly into your own systems, like a customer relationship management (CRM) system, to make workflows faster and more efficient.
