Adobe Acrobat Sign

The signer for teams whose work already lives in PDF and the Adobe estate.

Adobe Acrobat Sign bundles electronic signing into Acrobat, so the same tool that edits your PDFs also sends them for signature. For teams already paying for Acrobat, that is a real advantage: one contract, deep PDF editing and a signature with Adobe compliance reach behind it. As a standalone signer it is less focused than Dropbox Sign and the plans are layered through the wider Acrobat lineup, which takes a moment to navigate.
