“New e-sign capabilities in Adobe Document Cloud, including digital signatures and breakthrough mobile functionality-will bring a new level of efficiency to core business processes by eliminating the time lag and cumbersome paperwork associated with securing ink signatures”. Availability of the integrated apps on Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Android platform is expected in 2016.

Earlier this year, Adobe unveiled a new Document Cloud service to help enterprise users overcome the ” document disconnect” between increasingly mobile, digital work and the continued reliance on paper in the workplace. Fortunately, Adobe and Dropbox announced a partnership today that will supposedly make it easier to electronically navigate PDF’s. For instance, mobile users will soon be able to comment and annotate on Dropbox-stored PDFs from their smartphone or tablet using the Acrobat Reader mobile app. This functionality will hit iOS in the following months and become available for Android next year. More specifically, Adobe users get quick access to their documents stored on Dropbox and can also edit those files on the go on mobile, without the need to download and re-upload the file in question. This would allow users to sign documents in the cloud and save the signed documents in cloud storage from within the E-signing application.
“Ultimately, we want you to be able to work with any kind of file easily, from viewing to editing to sharing”.
“Our work with Dropbox, as our first file sync and share partner, will help Adobe Document Cloud customers and people around the world be more productive with the documents at the center of their daily lives”, said Kevin M. Lynch, senior vice president and general manager of Adobe Document Cloud at Adobe.
Adobe, in recent times, had been in the news for its continuous evolution with cloud-based services. Le Clair also noted that improvements in mobile technologies are helping to ensure the validity of e-signatures. “Authentication – moving to the mobile device – and advancing biometrics – is getting stronger and piggybacking on electronic ID innovation from e-commerce”.

A few analysts are describing this new partnership as a “One-Two Punch” for the Document Cloud offering.
