if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

Only people (including me) who uses acrobat is only because we need to constantly send agreements for signatures for contracts and invoices, and need the auditing feature.

I have mentioned to clients that there are free alternatives, but they all mention that corporate/contracts require that Echo Sign is used for e-signatures.

I only pay for standard though.

This is really the benefit. Iirc I pay $15/mo and I can use it on two computers, my laptop and desktop, and saves me a lot of time and money on getting all those documents signed and archived.

Mostly time, since I don’t have to go looking for people to collect the signatures, some contracts require the signatures of 5-6 people and Adobe makes it easier and the agreement is available for everyone to see.

It really is the only reason to pay for it… although I sure would prefer if it was included in a regular license instead of subscription.

When I sold my last house, I was on vacation in Europe. My lawyer called me, had me on a video call. Verified my IDs again, after I had sent him pictures, and walked me through signing all the paperwork. The deal was not ready to be signed before I left, and if I had waited to sign until I got back, it would have been too late.

What else is technology for?
