Can I resend a signed document for signature?

2 of the 5 people have signed the document. Person 3 can't find the document to sign. Is there a way to resend the document with the two previous signatures to person 3 and continue the signing chain to persons 4 and 5. I am hoping to not have to start the whole process over and have persons 1 and 2 resign.

Hi!

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

Thanks for well explaining the complete workflow. As the document was sent for signature to two signers, where one has already signed. In this case, signing has been done (even by one), so now the document is secured and restricted to make further changes.

 

You can't send the same document for signature. You have to start the whole process again with a fresh (with no signature on it) document. To know more about managing, sending agreements for signatures, this article will help: https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/manage-documents-sent-for-signature.html


Hope this answers your question.

 

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

4 out of 6 of my signatories have signed. One I am waiting on, the other cannot find the document, so I have to re-send, or send a reminder. The 'Reminders' dropdown only gives me the option to send to one person which, typically, is not the one that I need to send the contract to. Why can't I choose which person to send it to? Why does the software dictate who the person should be and not allow me to alter the details? This seems really restrictive, especially when on a tight deadline.

Hi cyclopsdx,

 

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

 

You might have sent the document to be signed in order, which could be the reason one of the recipients didn't receive it.

For the reminder, please refer to the steps suggested in the help document: https://adobe.ly/43b0haF.

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Here is what I do. I save the document as a PDF, then go back into Adobe and drag and drop the document into the box where you add for signature. Then you can request signatures again for just that 3rd person. No need to fill out all the paperwork again, or the other signers.

I completed my request for signature to two parties and 1 received it but the other person insist that he/she did not receive it.  How do I resend the same document to that person without having to redo the entire process?

First, check if Person 3's email address in the agreement route is correct then you can send a reminder to Person 3. Here is the guide to add a reminder - https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/using/set-reminders.html#Manage

Does the reminder include the document or just an email stating there is a document needing signature?

This is a serious flaw in this software - this needs to be updated by Adobre ASAP

Is there a way to resend the agreement from canceled list for signature? 

If agreement sent back by the first siginng person in the list and just needs to be amended, it is possible to resend it again (same way as "edit" for drafts) or create a copy to drafts and resend?

Thank you

I missed a signature field when I sent a document out for signatures, but didn't realize it until I'd downloaded the signed form.  I tried to go back in to indicate the missed field and resend it for signature, but it kept telling me that the file wasn't a supported file type even though it's a .pdf.  Are there security measures set up to keep you from sending out a signed document more than once?

You can add extras signature fields for signing. Try opening the pdf does it open is Acrobat or Acrobat Reader? You need to download the pdf and reupload for signing. Worst possible case, print, scan and then upload.

A document was sent to multiple recipients.

One recipient tried to sign it but somehow sent it on with a partial signature.

Can I resend the same document to that person to sign again?

I don't want to send the a new document again then the people who correctly signed it will have to do it again.

Why not try it. Resend the partially signed document.

I have a document template that requires Signer 1 to fill in answers to questions and then sign before being sent to Signer 2. Signer 1 has completed the necessary fields, but the information isn't correct. Is there a way to reopen the form and send it back to them to complete the missing details that doesn't require them to start all over again?

Hello Genevieve,

Once the document is signed, it's not possible to resend it. I would recommend to re-initiate a new transaction and send it out for signature.

Hi garyw12611328,

You might need to send the document again by adding additional email IDs in the 'To' field.
