Questions? We have answers.

Are e-signatures secure?

When you use Adobe e-signing tools to collect electronic signatures, you can trust they are secure. The Acrobat e-signature solution uses Acrobat Sign technology to make sure signers can’t change the agreement after they add signatures, protecting signed documents from tampering. In addition, you can track and manage all sign requests — creating a valuable audit trail with timestamps.

You can also try Adobe Acrobat Pro for free for seven days to do more with PDF files on Mac or Windows. The Acrobat Pro trial lets you use digital signatures, collect e-signatures with advanced authentication, create e-signing templates, fill PDF forms, and sign documents yourself with your initials, a typed signature, or an image of your signature. Acrobat Pro also lets you edit PDF documents, use annotation toolbar functionality, create fillable PDF forms, use cloud storage, and convert PDF files to Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint spreadsheets, or Excel formats. You can work online, on your desktop, or on your mobile device, using the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app on your iPad tablet, iPhone, or Android device. Free tutorials can get you up and running fast. Third-party integrations can also make your document workflows more efficient.

How do I send a PDF to be signed by multiple signers?
When you need multiple people to e-sign a document, simply add more email addresses during the setup process. You can also assign form fields and signature fields to specific individuals. Acrobat will route the agreement to the signers in the order they were entered and send everyone a copy of the completed agreement after signers have added their online signatures.
Will I be notified when my PDF is signed?
Yes. Acrobat will send a notification in real time by email when a recipient e-signs a PDF, along with a copy of the final agreement.
