Question

Request for help in using Adobe API to automate workflow with Make/Integromat

Hi,

First post here, hope its not too dumb!
I'm trying to connect Integromat/Make to Adobe somehow and was wondering if you know where I should start please.

 

In Adobe Acrobat, I can edit a document and then send it with an esignature. I would like to automate this process.

 

I want to have a document template that is edited with name/ DOB and a few fillable fields.  The last bit is to send the form off with my signature and the form locked so it can't be edited.

Is this possible somehow? I think I need the API from Adobe Acrobat (I am a subscriber) and then to work out what it allows you to action as well as how to convert that into a module in Make /Integromat. I'm not a developer but have a smattering of REGEX and JSON understanding and have been using Integromat for a while.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?


Thanks,

Mark

Acrobat has a large and rich API for programmers. But first questions first. For this high level of automation - where do you need to run it?

- interactively, from a button you add to Acrobat and click to send?

- interactively from another app, on the same computer as your copy of Acrobat?

- in the background (eg in a Windows Service)?

- on a web server (or other server) to automate a document handling need?

Thanks for the reply TSN!
I would like to run it on a web server. Integromat/Make is web hosted and detects a trigger/webhook when a new PDF is needed. That is then populated with the data I need and it is then finally signed via the Adobe API and sent to the recipient.
Basically I am providing them with an order form that needs my signature (I'm a doctor) and once I have their details, I want the form signed and locked and then sent on.
Does that make sense? 
Thank you!
