Adobe Acrobat Sign: Getting Started

Summary

This article provides a starting place for using Adobe Acrobat Sign to collect e-signatures on electronic documents. All employees of USNH are eligible to request an account to use this service.  Adobe Acrobat Sign is not available for Alumni or Prior Students. 

Adobe Acrobat Sign allows groups to create electronic documents and then collect e-signatures on the document(s). The platform keeps track of who signs and when, so it is best suited for legal documents that require this information. Signers receive an email with instructions and do not have to create an account to sign document(s). 

 

Before you Begin - Save Old Documents

Important – If you have previously created an account with Adobe Acrobat Sign using your UNH, KSC, PSU, or USNH campus email address and sent any agreements using that account, you will need to download those agreements/documents before being set up with a new enterprise account. 

To do this, please follow the instructions below:

Step 1 - In an incognito browser window, please visit https://documents.adobe.com/public/login 

Step 2 - Log into your personal account (password reset may be required)

Step 3 - Navigate to the "Manage" tab then "Completed" and then locally download any important agreements

Another alternative is changing your profile to link to a non-campus email address, so you have continued access to your documents. 

You must perform either of these steps before you receive access to a new Enterprise account, to not lose any documents from the former account.
