 From 9 August 2022 Adobe are including e-signatures in Acrobat Pro (along with other enhancements).
Keys points:
- Existing Acrobat Pro customers should expect to have access to the e-signature (and other) features by the end of September 2022. (Adobe will notify the Administrator when this happens).
- Customers subscribing to new licenses of Acrobat Pro, starting 8 August 8 2022, will have access to the new features immediately.
- This change applies to individual licenses of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Pro within an All Apps license. The exception is the K-12 All Apps license which, although it contains Acrobat Pro, will not include the new features.
- Adobe have stated that education/charity/not for profit customers will not see a price increase for Acrobat Pro or Creative Cloud All Apps. (Commercial customers will see an increase in cost immediately for new licenses and in due course for existing).
The new e-signature facilities include:
- Unlimited transactions—Sign and collect unlimited e-signatures and track responses in real time.
- Bulk send—Request legal, trusted e-signatures from multiple signers in one agreement.Web forms and payments—Create web forms to collect e-signatures and let customers make payments with Braintree (where available) in a single transaction.
- Tracking and archiving—Get email notifications as soon as approvers sign, and maintain a detailed audit trail for every transaction.

Named Licenses are assigned to a User. They include Cloud Services. Give access to the free fonts at https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts (currently 179 font families). Can be installed on a single user’s desktop and the same user’s laptop (often translated by non-profit organisations to home computer). This could be two laptops or two desktops, one could be a PC and the other a Mac. Named License applications are current versions and will continue to be updated.
With all Creative Cloud licenses the software is installed on the computer; you do not need to be connected to the internet to use the applications.
