Adobe Acrobat Sign Workflows
If you have a document or form that requires multiple signatures that vary by department, setting up a Workflow will help the person who starts the process understand which email addresses to send the document to and in which order. The person who initiates must be a faculty, staff, or student employee, but anyone can sign the document.
