Discover the iPad advantage.

iPads and mobile devices excel when it comes to digital signatures. Signing documents on a touchscreen iOS device like an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch gives you the closest approximation of a physical signature. Instead of tracing with your trackpad or cursor, you can simply use an Apple pencil, other stylus, or your finger to write out your signature just like you would with a pen and paper.

Perfect your document.

Signatures are just the start. In the toolbar in the top right corner, you’ll find all the markup tools you need to make revisions, update drafts, or give feedback on documents. Place a sticky note comment, edit text or images, or highlight certain areas you want to revisit.

In addition to markup features, Acrobat has all you need to digitally collaborate on your document workflow. Once you’ve made your changes, you can easily share the document with others or send it for signature using Adobe Acrobat Sign.

When you use Adobe Acrobat Sign to manage signatures, you can add signers, specify where they should sign, and track their progress every step of the way.
