Send PDF documents for signature
You can get documents signed by others using Send for Signature, an Adobe Document Cloud eSign service. The
service lets recipients quickly sign documents from anywhere using a web browser or mobile device.
The service keeps track of the entire process. It emails your signers that you'd like them to sign a document. Once
signed, both you and your signers receive the signed PDF in email. The signed documents are stored securely in Adobe
Document Cloud.
Get PDFs signed by others
Complete your edits before you sign. Changes made to the document after it is signed can invalidate the signature.
1 Open the PDF you want to have signed.
2 Click Send for Signature in the right hand panel or choose To ol s > Send for Signature.
3 By default, the signature-specific fields are added at the end of a document, on the last page. If you want to add or
modify signature-specific fields in the document, continue with this step otherwise skip to the next step.
Click Prepare Form to add signature-specific fields, such as Title, Company, Date, etc.
Add information or signature fields as needed, and then click Send for Signature in the lower right corner of the
right hand panel.
4 To add more documents, click Add Files and then browse and select the documents.
Note: The Prepare Form option doesn't work if you have selected multiple documents. However, by default, the
signature-specific fields are added at the end of the combined document, on the last page. For example, if you have
selected two documents, both the documents are combined and the signature-specific fields are added on the last page
of the combined document.
5 Click Ready to Send. The document is uploaded to Adobe Document Cloud.
6 Type in the email addresses of people you want to sign your document. Add a message if desired.
7 Click Send.
You receive an email from Adobe Document Cloud eSign services that your documents have been sent out for
signature to the first user. The first user also receives an email to sign the document. When the user adds his or her
signature in the Signature field, and then clicks the Click to sign button, the document is sent to the next user for
signature and so on.
Everyone gets a copy of the signed document, and the file is stored securely in Adobe Document Cloud.
