Signing a Contract in Adobe Sign for University Comptroller Signature Delegates
Individuals who are approving an eSignature contract in Adobe Sign will receive an email from Adobe Sign letting them know that they have a contract that needs their review and signature. The Comptroller Signature Delegate will receive an email from Adobe Sign with the subject "[user account] Has Sent You [name of contract] to Sign".
- In the email, click the link "Click here to review and sign [contract name]". The document opens in Adobe Sign in your browser window. Directions and signature field placeholders are highlighted in yellow.
- Sign the contract or choose an option from the Alternative Actions menu in the top left corner of the screen.
To Sign the Contract:
- Click Start on the left side of the page to take you to the first signature field.
- Click the signature field, and a box will open on the screen.
- At the top of the box, select the Image tab.
- Click Select Image in the middle of the box, navigate to the location where your signature block image is saved, and click on the image file – your signature block image will now appear in the middle of the box.
- Type your name in the text box in the lower-left corner of the box that says Enter your name.
- Click Apply, and your signature block image will appear on the contract.
