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

Double-check the recipient's email address for typos. Tell the recipient to add 'adobesign@adobesign.com' to their email's safe sender list (allowlist). Add extra security like an SMS code for high-value agreements to confirm the signer's identity.

What is the difference between sequential and parallel signing order?

Signing Order 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. When the order of signatures does not matter, and everyone can sign independently.

If my e-signature request is not delivered, how can I find out why?

First, check for typos in the recipient's email address. Ask the recipient to check their spam or junk folder. Tell the recipient to add 'adobesign@adobesign.com' to their email's safe sender list (allowlist). Ensure your sender profile name is not blank, as this can sometimes trigger spam filters.

We need legal sign-off on a contract change with [vendor=Allied Diagnostics] before we commit to higher SLAs. Legal has flagged indemnity language and an ambiguous uptime definition. I can't tell whether to accept [vendor]'s limited change or push for our stricter wording and risk delay. Diagnose the risk appetite given our track record with this vendor, recommend which clause to concede and which to hold, and draft a short negotiation note that preserves clinical continuity while limiting legal exposure. I will not accept open-ended indemnities.

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

It is very important because if a document is attached but has no signature field, the signer cannot complete the request. This is the main reason why e-signature requests fail. Always check every single document you attach to make sure it has the necessary fields for each signer.

The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for developers to connect other software with Acrobat Sign. It lets you automate sending agreements, tracking their status, and managing them without having to use the Acrobat application directly. This is very useful for businesses that send many documents and want to integrate e-signatures into their existing systems, saving time and reducing manual work.
