Yes, Adobe's tools for collecting e-signatures are secure and tamper-proof. Once someone has signed the document, they cannot change the agreement afterwards — the document is locked down and cannot be altered. Once you've sent the document to be signed, all recipients' interactions with it are timestamped, too.

An alternative to using the free online tool is signing up for a 7-day free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro. With this, you can collect e-signatures with advanced authentication, among many other features. The tools are powered by Adobe Sign technology, which is backed by trust service providers (TSPs) and complies with regulations across the globe.

You can check the security options with your PDF editing software. If signing isn’t possible, ask the document’s author for an unlocked version.

Yes, you can sign documents on your mobile phone or tablet using Adobe Acrobat’s mobile app. No need to print your PDF off - just open the app, select the PDF, tap the signature field, and add your e-signature using your finger or a stylus. It’s quick, easy and secure.
