Adobe Sign Automatic Emails

When using Adobe Sign, each signature creates an automatic email to the file originator. The final signature creates an email where the subject line ends in “Signed and Filed!”.

The exclamation mark is not an accepted character in Windows file folders, forcing the user to edit the subject line before saving. This is annoying, and the exclamation mark isn’t necessary. Why not remove it?

    Hi Anand,

    Yes, I suppose this counts as a feature request. If the built-in ‘Signed and Filed!’ completion text did not contain the exclamation mark, I could drag and drop the emails from Outlook to a file folder. It’s a small issue but it would make my work a little easier; and I suspect no one would miss the exclamation point.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hello @Secretary Cameron,


    I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We're sorry for the trouble you had.


    Could you please share more details about the issue? "Why not remove the exclamation mark?" Is it not working at your end, or do you want this to be a feature request?


    Suggestions/Options:


    There isn’t a normal sender-level setting to remove just the exclamation mark from the final completion email subject. The final completion email is the “Signed and Filed” email, and there isn't a user/admin toggle for changing only the punctuation in that system-generated subject line.

    You can edit the agreement name before sending, but that does not remove the system-added completion wording. In the current Request signatures / Send workflow, the sender can edit Agreement details > Agreement name. The agreement name is inserted into the email subject line and shown on the Manage page. So this can help control the variable part of the subject, but it does not appear to remove the built-in Signed and Filed completion text.


    Custom Email Templates (CEMT) for Acrobat Sign as an Enterprise-tier / ETLA feature. The customizable template types include Please Sign, Signed and Filed, Reminder, and Canceled. To learn more, please check this article:

    If the goal is fewer completion emails rather than changing the subject text, check notification settings separately. For personal event/alert emails, Acrobat Sign users can review Personal Preferences > My Notifications.


    I hope this helps, and please reach out if you need any assistance.
