Adobe Acrobat Sign Review

Overview

Adobe Sign is an e-signature platform for organizations that manage legal documents, purchase orders, credit applications, staff on-boarding forms, and sales contracts. This solution is a part of the Adobe Document Cloud suite, and is designed to expedite business processes and transactions by permitting users to effortlessly share applications, digital documents, and online forms, and gather legal digital signatures.

Adobe Sign provides workflow templates that you can use to design and create your business processes. With this tool, you can scan paper files with your phone camera and garner in-person signatures with the mobile phone. On top of that, you can create a staff portal where workers can quickly search for forms. Finally, you can use this e-signature system to store audit trails and signed documents, and comply with e-sign regulations and laws implemented across the world.

Benefits

Add Form Fields

Adobe Sign can automatically identify form fields as you prepare files for e-signing. This allows you to effortlessly add form fields to your documents, and create digital documents and online forms faster.

Use Color Codes

The software allows you to include color codes in signature and form fields to improve accuracy in creating documents. You can assign these color codes to recipients who are designated to sign in those fields. This feature helps to avoid mistakes in gathering e-signatures, as you can easily identify designated approvers and signers.

Enhances Compliance

With Adobe Sign, you can improve compliance with e-signature standards and laws. For instance, your organization can comply with the eIDAS regulations for the European internet market as the platform allows you to include time stamps in your e-signed documents.

These time stamps serve to confirm the authenticity of the documents and the validity of the e-signatures. Users in India can utilize Adobe Sign to e-sign documents with their government-issued Aadhaar identity number to comply with their nation’s e-signature and data management laws.

Seamless Integrations

Adobe Sign smoothly integrates with the MS applications SharePoint Online, Dynamics CRM v6, Flow, Teams, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook as well as with other solutions. These integrations allow you to automate your signing processes and document management workflows. In addition, you can share agreements from these apps and send them to your colleagues, vendors, and partners for e-signing.
