# Adobe Acrobat Sign

> Adobe's e-signatures, sold inside Acrobat plans or on their own

Adobe Acrobat Sign is Adobe's e-signature service. Small teams get it as part of an Acrobat for teams plan, where documents can be sent for signature straight from Acrobat with no cap on the number of e-signatures, alongside Acrobat's PDF editing tools. Larger companies can buy Acrobat Sign Solutions on its own through sales, with more integrations, signer authentication and compliance features.

## Key features

- **Send from Acrobat:** Request e-signatures directly from Acrobat on desktop, web or mobile, with no usage cap on e-signatures in Acrobat for teams plans.
- **Several signers at once:** Send one document to multiple signers, each of whom gets a personal copy; Acrobat Pro adds bulk sending.
- **Tracking and audit trails:** Real-time status and notifications for documents out for signature, with audit trails kept for completed ones.
- **Web forms and branding:** Turn PDFs or Word files into fillable forms, post signable web forms on a website and add your logo to agreements.
- **PDF tools in the same plan:** The Acrobat plans also edit, convert, combine, password-protect and, in Pro, compare and redact PDFs.
- **Cloud storage and app links:** Store signed files in Box, Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive, and send from Microsoft Word, Teams, Salesforce or Workday.

## Good for

- Teams that already need Acrobat for PDF editing and want e-signatures included
- Businesses that send a high volume of agreements, since team plans have no e-signature cap
- Large companies that need Adobe's enterprise e-signature compliance, via sales

## Worth knowing

- Small teams cannot buy Acrobat Sign on its own: it comes inside an Acrobat for teams plan, and the standalone Acrobat Sign Solutions is sold only through sales.
- Plans are annual commitments paid monthly; cancelling more than 14 days after the trial ends costs half the remaining commitment.
- Adobe says the e-signature features in Acrobat Standard and Pro do not offer the compliance level of Acrobat Sign Solutions.
- The Acrobat AI Assistant is a paid add-on on Standard and Pro and is included only in Acrobat Studio.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. For small teams, Adobe Acrobat Sign comes inside Acrobat for teams: Acrobat's PDF editing, plus sending documents for signature with no cap. If you need Acrobat anyway, that's a fair deal. If you only want e-signatures, you're paying for a PDF editor, signing up for a year, and the Sign phone app is poorly rated.

- **Value for money: C.** About $51 a month for three on Acrobat Standard for teams, at $16.99 a licence on the annual plan billed monthly. That's the dearer end of this category, but it includes a full PDF editor and uncapped e-signatures. Bulk send and branding need Pro at $23.99.
- **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan. There's a 14-day trial of Pro or Studio for teams, but it runs on into a yearly commitment: cancel more than 14 days after it ends and you pay half of what's left.
- **Features: C.** Send from Acrobat, several signers at once, tracking, audit trails, web forms and branding, plus the PDF tools. But Adobe itself says the signing in Acrobat Standard and Pro doesn't reach the compliance level of Acrobat Sign Solutions, which is sold through sales.
- **Ease of use: F.** 2.2 from about 650 App Store ratings for the Acrobat Sign app, by far the lowest in this category. You can send from Acrobat on a computer instead, but on a phone this is the app.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, desktop Acrobat and iPhone, with Word, Teams, Salesforce, Workday, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. No Android app is listed, so it misses an A.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Adobe Acrobat Sign you could make: documents and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 13 of the 13 other e-signature and proposal tools grade higher. It costs $203.88 a year.

- You could make: Documents and forms: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Teams and Salesforce among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
