| Routing Type | How it Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| SEQUENTIAL | Signers get the document one after another, in a specific order (A then B then C). | Approvals that must follow a chain of command, like a manager then a director. |
| PARALLEL | All signers get the document at the same time and can sign in any order. | Situations where the order of signatures does not matter, like multiple team members. |
Adding authentication, like an email or SMS code, makes your e-signature request more secure. It helps confirm that only the correct person can open and sign the document. This is very important for agreements that have high value or contain sensitive information, as it prevents unauthorized access.
The Acrobat Sign API is a tool for computer programs to send and manage e-signature requests automatically. It lets you integrate signing workflows directly into your own applications or systems. You can use it to create new agreements, track their status, and get signed documents without manually using the Acrobat software, making large-scale operations much faster and more efficient.
