(As of 25 Apr 2023)

Adobe Acrobat Pro with online services is the complete PDF solution for working with your most important documents across desktop, web, and mobile devices.

April 2023 release

The following new features are introduced in this release.

New request signatures experience

The Request e-signatures tool now offers a simplified user experience and enhanced authoring capabilities, allowing fluid movement across PDF workflows. The key features are:

Updated request signatures dialog box

The updated dialog box provides a streamlined process for adding recipients and choosing the signing sequence.

Enhanced form authoring experience

Some of the key enhancements are:

• Automatic field detection and auto-highlight of form fields. You can select the highlighted areas to add the pre-detected form fields to your document.
  
• When you select a signer from the left pane and add fields, the fields are assigned to the selected signer.
  
• Form fields are automatically converted if you're editing an existing Acrobat form.
• Each form field is color-coded based on the recipient for which it's meant to be filled out.
  
• You can also select fields from the left pane and place them where desired in the document.
• Right-click a form field to Change recipients, Change field type, mark it as a Required field, or Customize field.
• If you want to edit the form or make a few changes, select the Edit mega verb in the global bar, make the edits, and select the Sign mega verb to return to the form where you left off. 
• To add more recipients to your document, select Edit above the list of recipients on the left pane. Add the recipients and select Continue to return to authoring the form.
• You can save the agreement as a draft to complete form creation later. You can access your saved agreement draft from the Drafts section of Agreements in Acrobat Home.

Save agreement as a template

After sending the agreement, Acrobat provides you with an option to save the agreement as a template to reuse in the future. Once saved, the agreement is found in the Templates section of Agreements in Acrobat Home.
