Capture your signature on mobile and use it everywhere

Before you begin

We're rolling out a new, more intuitive product experience. If the screen shown here doesn’t match your product interface, select help for your current experience.

In the new experience, the tools appear on the left side of the screen.

Now, with the all-new signature sync feature, you can quickly take a picture of your signature using the Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app and use it when signing across desktop, web, and mobile devices.

When you save your signature, it’s automatically uploaded to Adobe Document Cloud in the background and synced to all your devices or apps. When you open a document for signing, the signature is downloaded in real-time if it's not available locally and made available for use.
