  • PNG is the recommended format

Brand your signing URL

  1. Select the Add e-sign branding tool as explained earlier.

    In the input field for Customize agreement URL, enter the custom branding/value you want to insert into your Acrobat Sign URLs.

  3. Click Save.

    Your signing URLs will now include your brand.

Set the Company name for all users in your account

The Company name is a property in each user's profile that may be required during the signature process for some agreements. For consistency across all users, you can set all users to adopt the displayed Company name by checking the Set company name for all users in account checkbox and Saving the configuration.

All users in the account are updated immediately.

Note:
  • After saving the Set company name for all users in account value, the checkbox will clear when the page is refreshed.
    • The checkbox only triggers an update for all users, it does not ensure that users will not change their Company name value on their own profile.
  • The value in the Company name text box cannot be changed by user administrators. Acrobat Sign support must be contacted to change this value at the account level.
