Adobe Sign - Editing/Review Page

The Editing Page is accessible after processing through the Send page on Adobe Sign if the Preview and Add Signature Fields Checkbox is checkmarked at the bottom of the send page. It can also be accessed by going to Manage and clicking Edit on a Draft agreement.

Adobe Sign can be accessed here: https://go.uillinois.edu/esign

Note: If you attached multiple documents in the Send page before this screen, it will now appear as a multi-page pdf.

Relative to Page: Check-marking this enables placed fields to be aligned in relation to the document instead of dragging the field.
