Secure documents with electronic signatures
Welcome to the beta release of Adobe® eSignatures™, a new online service that allows you to electronically sign contracts, NDAs – any PDF document that requires a signature. Electronic signatures allow you to get your documents signed faster. There is no need to find a fax machine or to pay for expensive express mail. Simply login to Adobe eSignatures, and start signing documents electronically.
Documents that are signed using eSignatures are certified by Adobe to ensure that no one has modified them. You will see a blue ribbon in the Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Professional which indicates that the document has not been modified.
eSignatures is now available for free in Beta. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
