Adobe Acrobat Sign Integration Guide
Connect Adobe Acrobat Sign with enterprise applications through REST APIs, document operations, OAuth 2.0, integration keys, and selected webhook events.
Adobe Acrobat Sign integration options at a glance
Adobe Acrobat Sign provides REST API v6 capabilities for creating and managing agreements, uploading transient documents, retrieving signed documents and audit reports, managing users and groups, accessing library documents, generating signing URLs, and configuring webhooks. Selected webhook events can notify external systems about agreement or account activity, while MegaSign supports bulk-oriented sending scenarios. OAuth 2.0 and integration keys provide API authentication. Martini can consume these APIs, expose endpoints for webhook callbacks, orchestrate asynchronous and scheduled workflows, map agreement and document data, securely manage credentials, and write statuses or files to downstream applications and storage systems.

Authentication and security considerations
Authentication methods
Adobe Acrobat Sign supports OAuth 2.0 with scope-based permissions and integration keys supplied as Bearer tokens. OAuth is appropriate when the integration acts on behalf of an Acrobat Sign user or account, while integration keys can support service-to-service access where permitted.
Secure Martini configuration
Store access tokens, refresh-related settings, client credentials, and integration keys as environment-specific Martini secrets. Do not embed credentials in mappings, workflow definitions, or source-controlled assets.
Data protection
- Use HTTPS for Acrobat Sign API and webhook traffic.
- Restrict scopes and account permissions to the required operations.
- Validate webhook requests using Adobe's documented security controls.
- Limit logging of document contents, credentials, and sensitive identity information.
- Apply access, retention, and deletion controls to signed documents and audit reports.
Operational considerations for Adobe Acrobat Sign integrations
Rate limits and retries
Workflows should distinguish throttling, authentication failures, authorization or scope failures, validation errors, missing resources, and temporary service errors. Use bounded retries with backoff rather than replaying every failed request.
Pagination and incremental processing
List operations may be paginated. Follow the documented continuation fields and persist checkpoints so synchronization focuses on pending or recently changed agreements instead of repeatedly loading the entire account history.
Idempotency and state
Webhook notifications may be retried or delivered more than once. Persist an event or agreement-state key, verify the current agreement state before state-dependent operations, and prevent duplicate document downloads or downstream writes.
Documents and schema changes
Account for transient uploads, binary file handling, file-size and content-type constraints, and secure artifact storage. Isolate Adobe-specific mappings, preserve useful unknown event fields for diagnostics, and test changes to API versions, status values, and resource behavior.
Reconciliation
Use scheduled reconciliation to identify missed notifications, divergent statuses, unarchived documents, failed downstream updates, and expired or abandoned agreements.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Orchestrate the complete lifecycle
Martini coordinates document upload, agreement creation, webhook reception, status reconciliation, signed-document retrieval, and downstream distribution in maintainable workflows rather than isolated scripts.
Separate vendor and business models
Mappings and transformations can isolate Adobe Acrobat Sign payloads from internal canonical models and target applications. Business rules can validate participants, signing order, agreement state, and retention requirements before writes occur.
Improve reliability and operations
Reusable workflows can provide bounded retries, idempotent event handling, pagination, checkpoints, error routing, and operational logging across multiple Acrobat Sign processes.
Expose controlled APIs
Martini can provide a controlled API façade for applications that need to initiate or query signing transactions, while keeping Acrobat Sign authentication, orchestration, and downstream integration logic behind a consistent enterprise interface.
