E-sign agreements

Last updated on Aug 16, 2025

Learn how to e-sign agreements using Adobe Acrobat.

When you receive an email request to sign a document, you can easily add your signature using Acrobat. Your signature is securely stored in Adobe cloud storage, making it available across all your devices and apps. Acrobat automatically retrieves your saved signature whenever you open a document for signing, streamlining the process for future use.

Tip

Acrobat on mobile allows you to take a picture of your signature and use it when signing across desktop, web, and mobile devices with the signature sync feature.

Select Home and select Waiting for you under Agreements.

Double-click the agreement you want to sign.

Select the signature field in the agreement and enter the information.

Create your signature by choosing one of these options if you are signing for the first time:
