The ultimate guide to connecting Acrobat Sign with Microsoft 365

Integrating Adobe Acrobat Sign with Microsoft 365 lets your team prepare, send, track, and e-sign documents inside the apps they already use. That cuts context-switching and speeds deal and HR cycles.

This guide covers tenant deployment and day-to-day use for Malaysian organisations on Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise.

Prerequisites

• An active Adobe Acrobat Sign business or enterprise account (confirm edition with your reseller).
• A Microsoft 365 Business or Enterprise subscription.
• Global Admin (or equivalent) rights in your Microsoft 365 tenant for the initial organisation-wide deployment.

Step-by-step: connecting Acrobat Sign to Microsoft 365

Step 1 — Grant tenant-wide admin consent

1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center as a Global Administrator.
2. Go to Settings → Integrated apps.
3. Choose Get apps and search for Adobe Acrobat Sign / Adobe Sign.
4. Select the add-in (for example, Acrobat Sign for Word and Excel) and deploy it.
5. Assign to the entire organisation (or a pilot security group first).
6. Accept the permissions request so Acrobat Sign can access the tenant as designed.

Step 2 — Configure the Acrobat Sign admin console

1. Open the Acrobat Sign Admin Console.
2. Review Account → Account Settings and API / integration applications as required for your edition.
3. Enable Microsoft account authentication where your plan supports it.
4. Link your corporate Microsoft Entra ID domain for SSO so users are not juggling separate passwords.

Pilot with one department first if you have complex conditional access or DLP policies — then expand organisation-wide.

How to use Acrobat Sign across Microsoft 365

Outlook

• Send for signature — Open a message, use the Acrobat Sign ribbon/icon, and send attached files without saving them locally first.
• Status — Track viewed / signed state from the Outlook sidebar where the add-in exposes agreement status.

Word and Excel

• Open the Acrobat Sign panel while the document is open.
• Place signature, date, and text fields on the live document, then send.

Microsoft Teams

• Use the Acrobat Sign app/bot for in-chat send and status.
• Sign from chat or a channel tab during collaboration — see the dedicated Teams guide.

Security and compliance benefits

• Tamper-evident sealing — completed agreements carry cryptographic protection and a clear integrity story.
• Audit trail — who signed, when, and how identity was challenged — see audit trails guide.
• SharePoint filing — route completed PDFs into governed libraries for retention.
