Using Adobe sign with free adobe reader

Question

In my company very few people ever need to edit PDF documents, thus most only use the free reader version of Adobe. We are looking into using e-sign sollutions to have users sign for various things in the company, so my question is as follows.

Do we only need to buy Adobe DC and the Adobe Sign sollution for thoose who create the documents and send them to get signed, or do also our users who will only be reading and signing need something ekstra? And if so, do they need any paid packages in order to sign? Obiously its not very viable to buy 200 lisenses just so people can sign documents.

In advance, thank you.

Adobe offers two solutions for e-signing either electronically using Adobe Sign, where typical electronic signatures can use a variety of methods for authenticating signers — such as email, corporate IDs, or phone verification or digitally using digital certificates that can be done through either Adobe Reader or Acrobat Standard or Pro.

Adobe Sign and Acrobat support both of these options. Adobe Sign has various plans, remember that only the person initiating the signing transactions needs to have a license, not the people that are just signing. If you are looking at the business or enterprise plans there are two different licensing models either per-user model which is 150 transactions per person per year (pooled) or transaction licensing model where a number of transactions can be purchased and can be allocated to as many users in your company as needed.
