Changes to the Adobe Acrobat Sign Enterprise Support Workflow for legacy customers who haven't migrated to the Admin Console

First Reported: July 2024

Current 

This notification applies only to Acrobat Sign commercial enterprise administrators who have yet to migrate their users to an Adobe VIP, VIP Custom, or ETLA console.

  • If your Acrobat Sign contract expires before September 17, 2024, you may disregard this notification.
  • Customer accounts in the Government Cloud environment are not impacted.

Starting September 17, 2024, you'll see a new workflow to contact Adobe Acrobat Sign Support. Here is a high-level overview of the workflow:

  1. Log in to your Acrobat Sign account as an administrator.
  2. Select the "Contact Support" option under the question mark in the upper right of the window.
  3. You will be redirected to a new page with three channels to contact Support. Please select one of the three channels to get help with your issue:
    • Web form: For priority 2 and lower issues, you may submit a support request through the web form and expect a response in one business day.
    • Phone: For priority one critical issues, please call us so we can serve you immediately.
    • Chat: Get in touch with our experts in real-time. 

If you have an unresolved ticket with Support beyond September 17, 2024, your ticket history and conversation will be moved to a new system by the assigned support agent, who will confirm the move before and after. Future communications between you and Support regarding the unresolved issue will happen on the new system.


The new Request Signature environment will be promoted to be the default experience in the September 2024 release.
Switch links between Classic and New environments will be removed in the  November 2024 release.

Pastaba:

This update only applies to the Commercial version of the Acrobat Sign service. Government Cloud accounts are not impacted.

First Reported: March 2024 - Updated June 2024

Current 

The new and improved Request Signature environment will be the default experience for all accounts to create a new agreement starting with the September 17, 2024, release.

Links will remain available for users to switch between the new and classic environments, and administrators will continue to have the option to reset the default to the classic experience through their admin menu.

The classic environment will be entirely removed from the user experience by March 2025.

Pastaba:

The new in-application Authoring experience is only available as part of the new Request Signature experience.
Customers who are using new Authoring with classic Request Signature will default to the new Request Signature experience after the September 17 release, and the setting for new authoring will be removed from the admin menu.

As part of the November 2024 release, all accounts will have their default sending environment set to the new Request Signature experience.

The option to enable the switch links for users to switch between the environments will also be disabled.

Pastaba:

Administrators will continue to have the option to enable the switch links in the admin menu.


The classic Compose page will be retired and removed from the interface in the March 2025 release.

Pastaba:

This update only applies to the Commercial version of the Acrobat Sign service. Government Cloud accounts are not impacted.

First Reported: June 2024

Current 

In the March 2025 release, the classic Compose interface will be removed entirely from the Acrobat Sign interface, completing the promotion of the new Request Signature experience.

All commercial accounts that have not configured the new Request Signature service as their default experience will have the Request Signature environment enabled as the only environment for configuring new agreements.

The option to configure the experience, including the switch links between environments, will be removed from the admin menus.


External source drives to be removed from support in the new Request Signature experience

First Reported: May 2024

Current 

The option to use an external drive for uploading files will be limited to OneDrive only in the new Request Signature experience.

It's recommended that customers who use other options for file upload use the vendor-specific application to provide a networked drive that can be accessed through the native file picker on the user's local system.


An update has been applied to the legacy code that determines whether IP addresses are to be included in audit reports, correcting inconsistent behavior in accounts created before June 17, 2021.

First Reported: May 2024

Current 

On June 21, 2021, an administrative setting, "Request IP addresses from signers," was added to the Signature Preferences tab on the Account and Group pages to specify whether signer IP addresses should be collected and included in audit reports.  For compatibility with previous behavior, the setting defaulted to True (checked) for existing accounts as of that date and False (unchecked) for accounts created after that date.

However, we discovered that for some users subsequently added to existing accounts, the default was not respected, causing audit reports to lack signer IP addresses.

With this update to the legacy code, the product behavior now correctly follows the setting.

 


Adobe Acrobat Sign's new
Send in Bulk environment became the default experience for all accounts on April 9, 2024.
The classic Send in Bulk environment will be retired in March 2025.

First Reported: March 2024

Current 

The new and improved Send in Bulk environment became the default environment for all accounts as of the April 9, 2024, release.

Links will remain available for users to switch between the new and classic environments, and administrators will continue to have the option to reset the default to the classic experience through their admin menu.

The classic environment will be entirely removed from the user experience by March 2025.
 


Bio-Pharma accounts - Enable improved authentication challenges for your account before September 17, 2024

First Reported: January 2024

Current 

ACTION REQUIRED

Customers who have configured their Bio-Pharma controls (at the account level or for any group within the account) should manually enable the new experience in the application through their admin menu before September 17, 2024.

All groups will automatically update and properly retain all the expected authentications as configured before the update.

The Bio-Pharma settings to enforce identity authentication were updated in the November 2023 Acrobat Sign system update and placed behind an Enable Now button to permit admins the time to review the update and elevate their account once they were comfortable with the changes. The Enable Now button is only available on the Bio-Pharma subsection of the admin menu.

The change to the enforced identity authentication settings removes the dependency between the controls, allowing admins to select any one (or more) settings as needed. Additionally, in the case of dependent controls that are checked but disabled, the checkbox is cleared to correctly reflect that the setting isn't in effect. 

f

f

Controls that are enabled will remain enabled. All agreements will continue to work as before.

Enabling the new experience through the Enable Now button updates all groups in the account and removes the callout to apply the update. The update cannot be reversed.

Starting in February 2024, accounts that have enabled the first control (Enable authentication challenges and Signing reasons) but have not enabled the improved experience will receive two in-application engagements:

  • A dialog box appears on the Home screen after logging in. This dialog box only shows to a user one time.
  • A "hotspot" graphic on the Bio-Pharma admin menu that opens a dialog box when selected. The hotspot will show up to three times until the user selects it, with a 24-hour delay between displays.

After September 16, 2024, all accounts in the Acrobat Sign service will automatically be updated to use this new interface.

Įspėjimas:

Customer accounts that have not manually updated their accounts will be automatically updated by the system.

System-updated accounts will not automatically clear the checked but disabled dependent controls, resulting in those controls being enabled after the update.

This will impact new agreements, prompting recipients to authenticate for the enabled control conditions.

To prevent this, manually enable the new experience and take advantage of the automated process that converts disabled settings into unchecked settings.


Improved Request Signature page for embedded applications 

First Reported: November 2023

Current 

Acrobat Sign has developed a version of the new Request Signature page as a  Single Page Application (SPA) for customers that have built their own custom integrations and applications. Instead of using browser cookies for the user session, this new solution uses session access tokens to access the Acrobat Sign workflows and pages.

The SPA solution overcomes a problem where browser cookies stored in an iFrame are viewed as third-party cookies, and the trend for browsers is to disable third-party cookies by default.

Customers with embedded solutions and want to take advantage of the SPA-built Request Signature page should contact support to enable the feature.

 


Classic reporting to be removed from service in the first half of 2025

First Reported: September 2022 - Updated March 2024

Current 

Classic reporting will be completely removed from the Acrobat Sign interface in the first half of 2025. This includes the switch link that allows changing between environments. Once removed, customers will not be able to return to the classic environment to review classic reports, and scheduled reports will stop executing.

The modern reporting environment will remain as the only reporting solution.

All customers are strongly encouraged to recreate all of their existing reports in the new environment as soon as possible.

First Reported: June 2018 - Updated March 2024

Adobe Acrobat Sign for SharePoint Online: Ended service as of June 28, 2024

First Reported: January 2024

Removed From Current List: July 2024

Support for the Acrobat Sign for SharePoint Online integration is set to end on June 28, 2024. 

After June 28, agreements sent for signature from this integration will remain available for recipients to sign. However, the final completed documents will not be saved back into SharePoint.

This end-of-service notification only applies to the SharePoint Online integration.

Other integrations that can access SharePoint Online (e.g., Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Teams) are not impacted.


Unsanctioned page modifications may be disabled

First Reported: February 2023

Removed From Current List: July 2024

Modifications to HTML pages delivered by Adobe, except for those enabled by published APIs and features, are unsupported. Such modifications may interfere with the functionality of Acrobat Sign. Adobe may, at any time, make technical changes that disable the function of any non-Adobe-sanctioned HTML page modifications.

If your use of Acrobat Sign currently relies on modifying HTML from Acrobat Sign using browser extensions,  HTTP proxies, or any other means not enabled by Adobe published APIs and features, you should migrate away from these as soon as possible to avoid disruption.

This statement applies to any mechanism by which such modifications may be made, such as browser extensions and browser configurations that allow HTTP proxies to modify page content.


Notice to Acrobat Sign API users regarding HTTP header case insensitivity

First Reported: January 2024

Removed From Current List: July 2024

Please note that HTTP headers are case-insensitive, as specified in RFC 2616 and RFC 7230. This means the header names can be written in any combination of upper and lower case letters. However, some applications or libraries may expect a certain case for the header names, such as Pascal-Case (e.g., Content-Type) or lowercase (e.g., content-type).

Due to upcoming infrastructure updates, Adobe Sign will be changing the case of some HTTP headers. This should not affect the service's functionality, but it may require some adjustments in your code or configuration if you rely on a specific case for the header names. We recommend reviewing your code and configuration to ensure they are compatible with case-insensitive headers.

For more information about HTTP headers, refer to the following resources:


Adobe Acrobat Sign end of development for the GigaSign application 

First Reported: March 2024
