• Getting a legal signature from SPU and non-SPU users

  • Please review ORM's SPU Electronic Signature Guidelines document for more information on if Acrobat Sign is a good solution for your situation.
    • Guidelines still being finalized, please contact orm@spu.edu in the meanwhile with questions. (3/24/21)
  • Acrobat Sign has multiple options for authenticating a user that is signing a document.

• Getting authorizations from multiple users in a process.

  • A single document that needs multiple signers on it can be accomplished in a simple approval workflow.

• Allowing user-initiated document submission

  • Documents can be posted as a link that users can click to fill out and sign.

• Preserving a single document of all authorizations and agreements.

  • Acrobat Sign creates an authenticated final file with timestamped signatures from all parties that can be downloaded and saved in an SPU file storage system.

• Sharing documents with other users in a group

  • Acrobat Sign allows you to assign a document to a specific group so that other users in the group can view it. Group sharing is helpful for establishing multiple people that can work on your document in case you are not available. When you first create an agreement in Acrobat Sign, be sure to send it from the group that contains the people beyond yourself and the agreement signers that you want to be able to view the document. 

• Multiple linked documents requiring authorization.

  • Multiple documents can be included in a single signature request.

Acrobat Sign doesn't do the following well:

• Gather formatted data for entry into data systems.

  • This is better-accomplished in Microsoft Forms or another forms-tool.

  Multiple linked documents requiring authorization.

  • Multiple documents must be merged into a single document in order to be stored and authorized together in Acrobat Sign.

• Implement a business process workflow.

  • Any workflow processes not related to approval that need to be accomplished before, during, or after one or more authorizations, need to be defined and conducted outside of Acrobat Sign.
