I'm confused about Acrobat's different kinds of signature choices

Acrobat appears to have three options for adding signatures: "Add a digital signature," which is the one in Acrobat Form and the one I have used. Then there are "Add a signature field" and "Add a signature block" under Prepare Form for E-signing. I don't understand what those two are for and what situation they'd be used in. Can anyone help explain this to me?

Hi @mark_2094,

Thanks for reaching out. 

 

Perhaps surprisingly, signatures come in various formats that can be quite useful and practical depending on the recipient's needs.

Let’s take a closer look at each of the following:

  • Digital
  • Electronic
  • Basic
  • Advanced
  • Qualified

While each of these options will help document managers collect the signatures needed to conduct business, they have specific applications that can help companies look for more or less insight into who is signing their documents.


Here is a document that provides information on different types of signatures: https://adobe.ly/40rTTtF;

Thanks so much, Tariq. On the second link--the one to the education blog--I
can't access that information, and I'm not sure why. Does a subscription to
Adobe Acrobat not include access to that?
