        The new iPad app introduces brand-new features and capabilities; accordingly, it is more system-intensive than the former version and has higher system requirements. If you encounter any performance issues, please ensure your device meets the requirements by visiting the system requirements page. There were some issues that we weren’t able to address by the time of the release, please see this article for our current known issuesKnown Issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/express/troubleshoot/known-and-fixed-issues/known-and-fixed-issues-ipad.html If you are encountering any performance issues and would like to let us know, please post to this thread and include the model of the iPad you’re using, the version of iOS you’re using, and a description of the issue you’re encountering

  Update now Visit the Apple app store to update Update We’re excited to announce that the dedicated version of Adobe Express for iPad is finally here. To get this version, please visit the App Store and install the latest update (version 26.7.0 or later). Most iPad models are compatible, but please visit the system requirements page to confirm your device’s compatibility.   File migration: If you’ve authored files on your iPad that haven’t been migrated to the new format it may be necessary to go through a file migration process to convert your files to be compatible (similar process to file migration on mobile devices). You’ll know if file migration is required because you’ll be presented with options to do so when you first open the new version on your iPad. If you’re not ready to migrate, it is possible to try out the new version one time before committing to migrating your files. It is recommended to finish editing any current files before migration. If you migrated on your mobile device previously and haven’t created any additional files on your iPad, no migration may be necessary. Here are some helpful resources that should help address common questionsNote: The iPad and mobile versions are the same, so references to mobile apply to the iPad app. Basics FAQ: https://helpx.adobe.com/express/adobe-express-on-mobile/get-set-up/mobile-basics-faq.html Features FAQ: https://helpx.adobe.com/express/adobe-express-on-mobile/get-set-up/mobile-features-faq.html There were some issues that we weren’t able to address at the time of the release, please see this article for our current known issues:Known Issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/express/troubleshoot/known-and-fixed-issues/known-and-fixed-issues-ipad.html We’re excited to hear your feedback on the new version.

  Business moves at the speed of a signature! For businesses, the signature represents the last mile in their journey to acquire or service customers. Each year, hundreds of millions of users electronically sign agreements. Many of these users, who are used to signing on paper, are signing electronically for the first time. A seamless and intuitive user experience helps users easily understand agreements, fill the required information, and complete the signing process quickly. Any friction in the user experience can lead to delays in closing the transaction or worse - losing the customer. For something so critical, e-signing has seen little innovation for the last several years – until now.   We are thrilled to launch Acrobat Sign’s next generation e-signing experience. Traditionally, e-signature solutions rendered agreements as images which inherently limited the end user experience. In contrast, our new e-signing experience, built on Acrobat’s trusted global standard PDF viewer, renders the agreement as a native PDF. This unlocks major improvements in two key areas of our e-signing experience: streamlining agreement completion across mobile and desktop, and accessibility.   Since launch, customers have seen significant improvement in agreement completion rates. Signers describe the experience as intuitive and polished, making agreements clearer and faster to complete.   1. Streamlining agreement completion Signers represent a diverse range of backgrounds and technical abilities. We designed the new experience to empower the signer to confidently navigate, fill, and complete agreements across desktop and mobile devices.  Let’s look at an end to end user journey.   The user journey starts through an email. Building trust at this stage is crucial. Without it, users may dismiss or delete the email, mistaking it for spam. To establish credibility, we display the sender’s name upfront and carry customer branding within the email. Once the user lands on the agreement, we guide the signer through the completion process with intuitive navigation and clear visual progress indicators. This minimizes confusion, streamlines the experience, and helps ensure the agreement is completed accurately. After a user places their signature and completes the agreement, they must click “Submit” to finalize the signing process. However, many users unintentionally overlook this step, leaving agreements incomplete. To address this, we introduced a pulsing animation on the “Submit” button to draw the user’s attention and encourage them to complete the action.   Quickly find key information with native searchSigning an agreement isn’t just about placing a signature. When working with documents – especially lengthy ones such as contracts – finding specific information can make all the difference. We added search functionality so users can get to the details they care about easily. It's as easy as "CTRL-F".   Improve page navigation  To make it easier to browse long documents – such as onboarding handbooks, training materials, etc. - we’ve included thumbnails for quick references. Instead of scrolling each page, signers can get a sense for the document’s content with high resolution page thumbnails on the right-hand pane.   2. Accessibility: Agreement Reading and FillingWith over 1.3 billion people experiencing significant disability (1 in 6 of the population), it is critical that digital agreement workflows are accessible. Not only is digital accessibility an opportunity to build trust with clients, partners, and employees, but regulatory guidelines have continued to get more rigorous in this area. This is especially relevant for industries such as healthcare, education, and government.  Adobe has long been a trusted leader in documents, known for creating the PDF format and leading the development of accessibility features within PDF. As digital accessibility laws evolve, we are improving our platform to help create a more inclusive digital world.       Existing e-signature solutions reduce agreements to flat images, erasing critical formatting and accessibility. This turns clear, structured text into an unformatted text blob, making agreements harder to read and engage with effectively. Layout structure such as headings, paragraphs, tables which are critical for comprehension are lost, making it hard for screen reader users to read document information or complete tasks. In the worst case, signers cannot read the document at all. Here is how our approach to accessibility solves key problems:   1. Maintain document structure for screen reader recognition and navigation Most agreements include headings, paragraphs, tables, and lists – structural elements that help screen readers guide users through the content. In image based agreements, this structure is missing or lost completely, making it difficult for screen reader users to navigate or understand the document layout.   Unlike existing e-signature solutions’ image based agreements, we render agreements as PDFs. This allows the PDF tag structure to remain intact, enabling screen readers to navigate and read the text seamlessly.   In addition, we have built-in PDF viewer capabilities that will announce to the screen reader when user actions are taken, such as updates in processing, changes in zoom levels, and even scrolling to different pages:     2. Organized reading and form filling by persisting tag tree   When agreements have many form fields, it is important that the user understands the correct sequence of form filling. This leads to a disorganized and frustrating form filling exprience. Unless the structural tags, including tab order, are guiding the user, moving logically from one form field to the next becomes difficult. As a result, keyboard users may jump to unrelated sections or miss fields completely. This lack of structure is time consuming and may cause delays in agreement completion – or worse, not being able to complete the agreement at all.   Our solution persists and exposes the PDF tag tree to the screen reader, ensuring the tagged document respects a logical tab order for both content and fields.     3. Maximum readability with crisp, scalable text Agreement images inherently lose clarity and is blurry when zoomed. For users with low vision, blurry, hard to read text can be a frustrating reading experience.   Our solution allows users to zoom in without losing any reading clarity. This ensures that users can keep text sharp and readable at any size for a comfortable reading experience.      4. Comfortable reading settings with support for OS Dark mode settings Reading preferences such as dark mode reduces eye strain and improves readability, especially for users with light sensitivity. Because the agreement is rendered as an image, existing e-signature solutions lack flexibility to adapt to users’ native OS’s dark mode preferences, leaving documents with bright white backgrounds.   Our agreement viewer adapts to the OS’s dark mode settings. This ensures users enjoy a comfortable reading experience at their preference.   Every agreement you send for signature represents a customer touchpoint. With our new recipient experience, end users can now sign with confidence on any and designed with accessibility-first. For more information about the features offered in the new experience, visit our help documentation. We are setting a new benchmark in e-signatures. Since launch, customers have seen significant improvement in agreement completion rates. Overall, we have added 10+ new capabilities to streamline agreement completion and improve accessibility which you can refer to below:

  Hello Community, We have an important update regarding the sign-in process for Adobe apps. As part of Adobe's ongoing efforts to enhance security and following Microsoft's deprecation of Internet Explorer 11, Adobe is phasing out support for IE 11 in all its applications.   What does this mean for you?

With Adobe’s last Acrobat Sign Release of 2024, Adobe is yet again expanding its electronic signature capabilities by adding more flexibility to signature processes and providing additional ways to verify the recipient’s identity.     Managing document templates for multiple user groups  Acrobat Sign users tend to repeatedly use templates to make sending documents for signature more efficient and control the layout and content. Many companies have groups responsible for creating templates for others in the company to use (common examples are legal agreements such as non-disclosure or data protection agreements). With the November 2024 Acrobat Sign release, users can share templates with multiple user groups, even groups they’re not part of, to ensure use of the most recent version across the organization. Learn more here.    When Creating a Template    When Modifying a Template    Notifying users when it counts  Managing time-sensitive agreement signatures has just become easier. By adding a new cc functionality on a recipient level, senders can notify key stakeholders when it’s most relevant. Using this new functionality, for example, in an agreement that requires 3 signatures before it is routed to the CFO and CEO, their executive assistants will only be notified when it's their respective C-level’s turn to review and sign. This feature enables them to speed up the time to agreement completion. Learn more here.     More Power to the recipients - correcting mistakes without sender involvement   Typos, misunderstandings or other errors may happen when filling in agreements before signing, this could include the correct legal entity of a signer, order volumes or new addresses. What before might have required cancelling the agreement, notifying the sender and sending a new agreement can now be in the full power of the recipient. By providing power to the recipients to simply “restart the agreement”, the agreement is sent back to the first recipient with commentary on what needs to be corrected, enabling an easy way to correct mistakes without involving the sender and needing to resend the agreement. Learn more here.          Verifying the recipient’s identity  Organizations that especially rely on processing agreements for the exchange of funds are facing more and more threats regarding identity fraud (in the US alone, 552,000 cases of identity theft occurred in the first half of 2024).     To help combat these fraudulent attempts, Acrobat Sign not only offers a strong ecosystem of Identity Provider partners to assure the identity verification of individuals, but moreover it allows to check the identity of recipients against a predefined value.     To be more specific, Senders will now be able to define the target name as part of the recipient information before sending for signature and requiring the recipient to match that name when proving their identity. The new Identity Check functionality works with all the Digital Identity Gateway partner services, performing highly secure identity verification methods such as ID.me, IDnow, OneID or BankID. The new Identity Check functionality also works with all the Cloud Signature Partners providing regulated digital signature services from more than 50 Trust Service Providers globally.     For example, a fraudster called “John Smith” who tries to impersonate “Frank Brown”, a legitimate beneficiary of government subsidies, would be blocked from signing a claim submission in Frank’s name. That is because the Sender enforced identity verification and using this new feature, would specify Frank’s full name as the intended name, and this feature requires the intended name to match with the identity information returned by the identity provider before providing access to view and sign the document. Even if the fraudster is able to complete the identity verification with the method selected by the Sender, he won’t be able to identify himself as “Frank Brown” and therefore he would be blocked from viewing and signing the agreement. Identity Check criteria and results are also documented in the agreement’s Audit and Signer Identity reports. See more information here.       Adobe also expanded the ability to apply identity verification methods from the Digital Identity Gateway partners for the first Web Form Signer and from the Acrobat Sign integration for Salesforce. Especially for Web Forms that are publicly accessible, verifying the identity of signers is crucial to combat fraudulent transactions. Using trustworthy Identity providers can provide higher assurance and reduce risk in your online processes.    Besides these key highlights of the Acrobat Sign November release, Adobe delivered many other new settings and capabilities. Read about all the new functionalities in the Acrobat Sign Release Notes.
