Workflow Question... Manual + Digital: is it possible?

Hi Everyone,

Can adobe sign workflow be made to include manual signatures plus digital signatures?

If I have individuals in a workflow who refuse to do a digital signature, is it possible to create a step where they sign a paper document? I'm guessing that the way to do this is route first to all willing to do digital signatures and end with those who will sign a paper copy.

Thank you in advance for tips, tricks, steps, links to how-to resources, and in general for what ever advice the community offers.

Hi GRBradford

Suppose there are 3 signers on the document Signer1 (Sign's electronically), Signer2 (sign's manually) and Signer3 (sign's electronically).

Now you have setup the document on the send page entering the signers email address in the sequence you want them to Sign the documents and paced the Signature fields on the document for all the Signers.

Signer1 will receive the document for Signature, he will click on the link in the email to sign the document.

Now, Signer2 will receive the document for the Signature, signer will not click on the link to sign the document and download the document on the System and print it. He will sign the document manually and then scan the document and send it to you via email.

Now you will have upload the manually signed document in your Adobe Sign account on behalf of the Signer, navigate to Manage page - > Select your document under Out for signature, click on History -> click on upload Signed copy to upload the document.

Once the above steps are done process for the 2nd signer gets completed and the document is send to the 3rd signer for signature.

Feel free to reach us back if you have any query or concern.

Hi,

Once you have done this and uploaded the agreement manually for those that have opted to sign manually, how do you stop the agreement from re-sending to the witness signer afterwards. We are having an issue where we are uploading a signed agreement and having the supplier come back saying that they have already signed the agreement. So what I am saying is that they must be getting it again after it has been uploaded, we do not want this to happen, we just want our system to be up to date and accurate.

Any help would be appreciated.
