As a leading e-signature platform, Acrobat Sign continues to evolve and innovate for its users. The most recent July 2025 Release added dozens of improvements and new capabilities to support e-signature journeys around the world. In this blog, we are highlighting the five key features that you should not miss:
1. Accommodating Communication Preferences With Ease: WhatsApp Delivery for Agreements
Grabbing signers' attention to review and sign agreements can be more successful if organizations communicate with them on the right channel. Thats why Acrobat Sign introduces WhatsApp Delivery for Agreement Notifications. Via this new capability, messaging to signers is delivered via a verified WhatsApp for Business message to the signers WhatsApp account – either in addition to an email notification or as the sole message if the e-mail of the signer is unknown.

2. Native PDF/A-2b Support for Long-term Archiving
Whether optimizing for long-term archiving or meeting regulatory requirements, Acrobat Sign got you covered. With the July 2025 release, PDF/A-2b is the newly added supported file format. When enabled on an Account or Group-level, senders are required to upload a PDF/A-2b file, which will maintain its format throughout the e-signature journey and provide the fully signed document in the PDF/A-2b format when downloaded. Additional flexibility for PDF/A workflows, especially converting other uploaded file formats into PDF/A, is expected to be supported in subsequent releases.

Note: PDF/A is a specialized format developed for long-term document preservation. It restricts features like encryption, external fonts, and unsupported multimedia to keep files self-contained and accessible over time.
3. Protect Embedded Signing Experience From Clickjacking Threats
Acrobat Sign allows its users to embed user experiences via iframe, an HTML element, in other applications. To further strengthen the security of this experience, Acrobat Sign is adding a new control against clickjacking to prevent these harmful activities by controlling when and how Acrobat Sign pages can be embedded in an iframe. In more detail, the feature ensures that only trusted domains can embed it and only under controlled conditions. With this, it protects users while allowing approved workflows to function smoothly.

5. Added Flexibility for More Granular Group Sharing Controls
Account Sharing is a widely used feature that helps strengthen collaboration between colleagues and departments. However, it provides wide access to agreements that participating users have received. Therefore, Acrobat Sign introduces a new control for admins that when enabled restricts the shared view of agreements to only those agreements sent from the user’s group. Hence, agreements that are received from an external group will be filtered out to protect potentially sensitive information. This filter exclusively applies to the group-level.
5. Automate E-Signature Journeys With Ease Using Zapier
In today's fast-paced digital world, automation is the key to productivity. Acrobat Sign and Zapier have teamed up to provide users with a new turnkey integration that can unlock automation of the full end-to-end document lifecycle. Using Acrobat Sign to request and collect e-signatures, Zapier can plug-in to trigger or perform certain actions that are easily configured in their powerful no-code automation platform. Its capabilities enable users to connect different apps and services to create seamless workflows, called Zaps. These Zaps automate repetitive tasks by connecting two or more apps, performing actions like transferring data, triggering events, and sending notifications without the need for manual intervention.
