Adobe Acrobat Sign Release Notes - 2026

Adobe Acrobat Sign release v17.0

Production deployment: Febbruary 3, 2026

GovCloud deployment: February 10, 2026

• Grouped Checkboxes in Authoring and Templates – Senders can now create checkbox groups through the modern Request Signature and Library Templates, authoring environments with validation rules such as selecting exactly, at least, at most, or a range of X out of Y options. Send in Bulk, Web forms, and Custom Workflows are supported through the use of Library Templates. This enhancement ensures consistent form logic and improves data accuracy across signing workflows.

• Allowed IP ranges – Expanded control over API and mobile access - Administrators can now explicitly control whether IP restrictions apply to API-based clients, including Acrobat Sign mobile applications and certified integrations.

• Authentication support for modern e-Sign – Modern e-Sign now supports three authentication methods: Acrobat Sign authentication, password, and phone-based 2FA.

• Adding Recipient Groups in Hybrid Routing for modern Request Signature – Recipient groups can now be included in hybrid routing, allowing multiple recipients or groups to act in parallel within the same routing step. Group modes support either one or all members to complete the action, providing greater flexibility for complex approval and signing workflows.

• Copy terminal agreements sent from Request Signature—Senders can now create a new draft agreement by copying a previously completed, canceled, or expired agreement. All recipients, settings, files, and form fields are automatically prefilled. The copied agreement opens in the Compose page for quick edits before sending, reducing setup time, minimizing errors, and improving productivity for repetitive workflows such as renewals or corrections.

• Disable the Download agreement link for In-Progress Agreements – Administrators can now remove the “Download a copy” link from post-signing confirmation pages at the account or group level, preventing recipients from downloading agreements from the post sign page.

• Resources Tab in Top Navigation – A new Resources page is available in the top navigation for admins and users, providing direct access to Acrobat Sign educational content, webinars, blogs, and product update videos. The page organizes tutorials by user level—beginner, experienced, and administrator—and links directly to additional support documentation.

• Dynamic Participation for In-Flight Agreements – Remove Recipients – Senders can now remove recipients from agreements that are already in progress without canceling or restarting the transaction. When a recipient is removed, Acrobat Sign automatically revokes their access, updates reminders, audit trails, removes the assigned fields, and transitions the agreement seamlessly back to its active signing state. This flexibility helps organizations maintain accuracy in live routing workflows—such as when a signer becomes unavailable—while preserving legal integrity, compliance, and a complete audit history.

• Require digital signatures for individual recipients during agreement configuration - Senders can now require digital signatures for selected recipients, ensuring stricter signing requirements where needed without impacting other recipients. The signing experience adapts automatically, enforcing required digital signature fields and exposing identity checks when supported, reducing errors and improving compliance for regulated workflows.

• Digital Identity Providers as Default Authentication Methods – Administrators can now select a Digital Identity Gateway provider as the default signer authentication method for internal and external recipients in Send Settings. The configuration applies automatically to agreements, web forms, bulk sends, and workflows, ensuring consistent and compliant recipient verification. This enhancement simplifies authentication setup, enforces organizational identity policies, and improves support for government and enterprise customers that rely on Digital Identity-based authentication.

• Verified Form Fields Using Identity-Verified Data – Form authors can now create verified form fields that automatically populate with data returned by an identity provider (such as OneID) during signer authentication. These fields can be set as read-only or editable, ensuring verified identity data is accurately captured and optionally locked against edits (e.g., name, address, or account number). This strengthens identity assurance, reduces manual entry errors, and streamlines compliance for workflows that require validated signer data.

• Recipient Groups in CSV File for Send in Bulk – Senders can now define recipient groups directly within the Send in Bulk CSV file, enabling multiple recipients to act at the same routing step. Each group can be configured in ONE or ALL mode—requiring either one member or all members to complete their action before routing advances. Group definitions, validation, and audit tracking are all handled per CSV row, with errors reported through downloadable validation files. 

• Library Template – Share with Multiple Groups – The modern Create Library Template experience now supports sharing templates with multiple groups within an account, matching the functionality previously available in the classic workflow. Users can select one or more groups when creating or editing a template, ensuring consistent behavior across groups. This enhancement eliminates fallback to the classic experience, improves collaboration, and simplifies template management for multi-group organizations.

• File Attachments for all recipients using digital signatures – All recipients in a digitally signed workflow can now attach files (not just the first signer). A new attachment method using Paperclip annotations displays a visible paperclip icon in the document and remains compatible with multiple digital signatures. Each attachment is added before the signer’s digital signature is applied, preserving signature validity and providing a clear visual indicator of attached files. This enhancement improves legal integrity, transparency, and consistency across e-signature and digital-signature workflows.

• New TSP options for Cloud Signatures - New Trust Service Providers have been added to support digital cloud signatures:
  • Swisscom

• Workflow agreement cancellation notifications – Cancellation notification updated to reflect the workflow behavior.
  When cancelling a workflow-created agreement, the “Notify recipients” checkbox no longer appears. Notifications are always sent based on the workflow’s settings. This change adjusts the message to reflect this behavior in the cancellation challenge.

• Login Page Improvements - The Acrobat Sign login page now offers a cleaner and more consistent experience. As soon as you enter your email address, the page automatically detects your account type and sends you to the right sign-in method, removing unnecessary steps and legacy screens. This makes logging in faster, simpler, and more intuitive for everyone.
  • New email format for Acrobat Sign enterprise users who log directly into the web interface - Acrobat Sign now enforces a 64-character limit to the local part of an email address (the portion before the “@” symbol) when editing an existing email, or creating a new user.
    All users with a local part over 64 characters have been evaluated and determined to be inactive or test userIDs.

Note that this experience is delivered through a rolling release based on the Acrobat Sign server environment. The rollout schedule is published in the Updated Login experience Technical Notification.

• Enable Management of User Details for Inactive Users – Administrators can now edit user details for inactive users directly in the Admin UI and through CSV uploads without reactivating accounts. This includes updating group assignments (for both single and multi-group configurations), managing the “User can sign documents” attribute, and performing bulk edits for compliance and record maintenance. The change streamlines enterprise user lifecycle management, reduces administrative overhead, and supports cleaner group organization and GDPR-aligned record handling.
