SignatureFlow is not working anymore. The service has been taken down. The following instructions will guide you through the process on how to use Adobe Sign to get an external signature without having the client to sign up for a service. Adobe Sign is included in your Adobe Acrobat DC license. If you were not aware of having a license, please get back to support@groco.com to get an email with your LogIn

Get a signature on a document via Adobe Acrobat DC

1) Open the PDF form in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader and click the Sign icon in the toolbar. Alternatively, you can choose Tools > Fill & Sign or choose Fill & Sign from the right-pane. 
In the newest version it looks like this:

2) In the Fill and Sign toolbar, click Request Signatures.

3) The Adobe Sign window is displayed. Do the following:

1. In the Signers field, add recipient email addresses in the order you want the document to be signed.
2. Change the default text in the Subject & Message area as appropriate.
   Optional: If you want to add more people just for information, use the Add CC button to add their email addresses to the CC list.
3. If you want to add more documents, click Add Files and then browse and select the documents.

If you don't want to use the Advanced Options, skip the next optional step.

(Optional) Click More Options, if you want to specify advanced options, such as signer authentication, reminders, and more.

1. By default, the Complete in Order setting is turned on. The numbers by the email addresses reflect the participation order. If you do not want to follow any particular order for signing, toggle the switch to Complete In Any Order.
   (Optional) Click Add Me, if you want to be included as a signer of the document.
2. Specify authentication type like Email, Password, Social Identity, Knowledge-Based Authentication, or Phone.
3. Password Protect the PDF file.
4. Set a Completion Deadline.
5. Set Reminder for the recipients to take action.
6. Specify the Recipient's Language in the email sent.

4) Click Specify Where to Sign or Next.

Note 1:       The document is now ready for adding fields that you want the signers to fill in or sign.

Note 2:       If you have added multiple documents, the documents are converted into PDFs and combined into                            a single file. The combined file is opened for you to add appropriate fields.

5) The Specify Where to Fill & Sign window is displayed showing options based on whether you have added one signer or multiple signers.

1. Simplified mode for single signer

If you've added one signer, you see the simplified option as shown below. To place a signature or another field, click at the desired location in the document and then set the field's properties from its context menu.

1. Simplified mode for multiple signers

This mode provides simplified authoring with the capability of assigning fields to multiple signers. When you select a signer from the right pane and add fields in the form, the fields are assigned to the signer. That means those fields will be available to the signer for filling the information and signing the form.

You can switch the assignee of any field using the floating toolbar. The assigned colors to the signers make it easy to distinguish the fields for respective signers.

For advanced mode, please look here:

6) When you've placed all desired fields in the document, click Send. The document is sent for signature to the recipients and a confirmation notice is displayed.

You receive an email from Adobe Sign (with the document being attached) stating that the agreements have been sent to the first signer for signature. The first signer also receives an email with a link to sign the agreement. When the signer adds his or her signature in the signature field and then clicks the Click to sign button, the agreement is sent to the next signer with a link to sign, and so on. Once the agreement is signed by all the signers, everyone gets a copy of the signed agreement.

Note: 

Signers are not required to sign up or purchase any Adobe product to sign agreements. They can sign agreements using a web browser, mobile device, or Acrobat DC / Acrobat Reader DC desktop application.

The client can download a copy of the signed document

DONE --> You will receive a signed document
