How do I make sure my e-signature request reaches the right person?

Double-check the recipient's email address for typos before sending. Confirm that adobesign@adobesign.com is on your organization's email 'allowlist' to prevent it from being marked as spam. Ensure your sender profile name is not blank, as some email systems might reject messages from unnamed senders.

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

Signing Order Type How it Works When to Use It. Sequential Signers receive the document one after another, in a specific order (A then B then C). 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 independently. When the order of signatures does not matter, such as multiple team members agreeing to terms.

What should I do if a signer says they didn't receive the e-signature request?

First, check for typos in their email address in your sent request details. Ask the signer to check their spam or junk mail folder, as the email might have landed there. Confirm with your IT team that adobesign@adobesign.com is allowlisted in your organization's email system. If all else fails, consider resending the request or contacting Adobe support.

The candidate, Marco, expects a quick electronic offer but he's in a different time zone and the recruiter is out. I need an offer letter that reads cleanly on mobile, highlights start date and salary, and is legally consistent with our template. Tell me what to check in the template right now, whether to attach the employee handbook, and give the short cover text to send so he signs before dinner tonight.

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

Adding authentication, such as an SMS code or email verification, for high-value agreements makes the e-signature more secure. It ensures that only the intended signer can access and sign the document, reducing the risk of fraud or unauthorized signatures. This extra step helps prove the signer's identity and adds legal strength to the agreement.

The Acrobat Sign API is a set of tools that allows computer programs to interact with Adobe's e-signature service. It helps you automate the entire e-signature process, from sending documents to tracking their status, without needing to use the Acrobat application manually. This is very useful for businesses that need to send many documents for signature, as it can be integrated directly into their existing systems, saving time and reducing errors.
