What it is
Adobe Acrobat Sign is Adobe's e-signature service: you can send, sign and track documents from Acrobat, the browser or Microsoft apps like Word, Outlook and Teams. It's included in Acrobat plans for teams and has an enterprise edition with workflows, API access and integrations. It fits people who already work with PDFs and Acrobat every day.
How to use it
- Request signatures from Acrobat right after editing a PDF.
- Create web forms so customers can sign from your website.
- Use reusable templates and add your logo to agreements with Acrobat Pro.
- Send for signature from Word, Outlook or Teams with the Microsoft integration.
- Collect payments at the moment of signing.
What it's good for
- A law firm preparing contracts as PDFs and sending them for signature without switching tools.
- A university collecting enrollment signatures through web forms.
- A company that runs on Microsoft 365 and wants to send for signature from Outlook and Teams.
Pros
- Included in Acrobat Standard and Pro for teams, alongside PDF editing
- Native integration with Word, Outlook, Teams and Salesforce
- Web forms to collect signatures from your website
- Spanish-language interface and mobile apps
Cons
- Licensing mixes Acrobat and Sign and can be confusing
- Advanced workflows, API at scale and enterprise admin require a quote
- If you only need signatures, you're also paying for PDF features you may not use
