A contract is sitting in someone's inbox waiting for a signature. A report has six versions floating across four email threads and nobody knows which one is final. A form was filled out by hand, scanned, and emailed back as an uneditable image. These are not rare edge cases. They are Tuesday. And every one of them is solvable with Adobe Acrobat. In this course you will learn to build and distribute fillable forms that collect structured responses digitally, send documents for legally binding e-signature without printing a single page, and run collaborative review cycles where comments, markups, and approvals all happen in one place. You will also learn to compare document versions side by side, manage approval routing, and deliver final documents in a way that leaves no ambiguity about what is current and complete. Built around real business scenarios, every skill in this course maps directly to work you already do or will do. By the end you will be able to move documents through their full lifecycle, from draft to final signed delivery, faster and with far less friction than before.

Syllabus

Distributing forms and collecting responses

Collecting information shouldn’t require printing documents, chasing email replies, or manually consolidating responses. Yet in many workflows, that’s still the reality. In this module, you’ll learn how to create fillable PDF forms that make data collection simple, organized, and consistent. You’ll add the appropriate field types for different kinds of input, including text fields, dropdown menus, and checkboxes—and design forms that are easy for others to complete. You’ll also learn how to distribute forms digitally and collect responses in a structured way, ensuring information is returned organized and ready to use. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to replace manual data collection with a streamlined, professional workflow.

Managing e-signature and approval workflows

Getting a document signed used to mean printing, scanning, and sending files back and forth. Today, the entire process can happen digitally. In this module, you’ll learn how to prepare documents for e-signature, send them to one or more recipients, and track their progress from request to completion. You’ll explore how Adobe Acrobat manages approvals and maintains a clear record of signed agreements. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to move documents through approval workflows quickly and confidently—without unnecessary delays.

Managing collaboration, review, and delivery workflows

Before a document is finalized, it often goes through multiple rounds of feedback. Comments are added, revisions are made, and different versions circulate across teams. In this module, you’ll learn how to manage that process using Adobe Acrobat. You’ll add and respond to comments, track feedback across collaborators, and compare versions of a document to clearly identify what has changed. You’ll also explore how to export documents into different formats and prepare them for final delivery—whether for email, print, or the web. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to guide a document from draft to final version with clarity and control.
