Question

Adobe Sign without E-mail

We are in the process of setting up Adobe Sign to integate with Dynamics 365 online. One of the ways we are attempting to use Adobe Sign is to initiate in-person signing. 

 

The question that I have is, is it possible to initate an Adobe Sign agreeement if the receipient does not have an e-mail address?

You can't create an agreement or add a recipient without an email address.  You can use a "dummy" address, and if sending through API (as the Dynamics integration does) where you have the agreement ID, you can use the API to get the signing URL and deliver it to the signer/s via some other method.

 

This is not a best practice since part of what makes e-signature valid is that it uniquely identifies the signer (the email address) in the audit trail and ostensibly shows they are the signer because they should be the only person with access to that email inbox.

 

With Dynamics and other integrations, there are a couple of ways to get the signing URL and or use in-person signing.  One way would be to use the Adobe Acrobat Sign mobile app logged in as the sender, which allows for in-person.

Yes, but I'm using this to make my life easier and make life easier for my customers. For decades and decades of getting customer signatures on paper, not one time have I ever been given a problem because I don't have their email or vice versa. I'd much rather use adobe acrobat to receive signatures seeing as I already pay for it, but I also don't want to have to absolutely need a customers email in order to receive a signature. Is there a way allow a customer to sign a form on my ipad without having their email? Or is this something I'm going to have to use a 3rd party signature app for?

Hi @WeatherWise,

 

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Given below are some pointers that might be helpful in the workflow you are trying to achieve:

  • Open the PDF in Acrobat on your iPad.

  • Tap the Fill & Sign from the toolbar.

  • Tap the signature icon, then choose “Add Signature”.

  • Let your customer draw or type their signature directly on the screen.

  • Tap Done → The signature is placed in the PDF.

  • Save or share the signed copy — no email is used at any point.

 

Hope this helps.


Regards,
Souvik.
