Adobe Sign vs PDCflow: Usability
More signature options
Adobe Sign only allows a signature on a PDF. This limits the ways companies can use the software when interacting with customers.
With PDCflow, companies can get a signature in several ways:
- get an esignature on a document
- gather a simple signature with no document
- get an esignature and payment together
Better Payments
PDCflow’s software is built specifically for businesses to take payments and signatures all in one account.
That means we can offer more options, flexibility, and versatility with our payments.
- While Adobe only offers payments via one payment processor option, PDCflow lets companies choose from several payment processing vendors.
- Payments come with a customizable online payment portal for self-serve options and can be used with or without getting a signature.
- Because our software handles payments, digital documents, and signatures, you can access all transaction reporting in one place.
Send Emails and SMS
No need for customers to download an app to sign by phone. Instead, you can send requests to an email inbox, to a mobile phone via SMS, or both.
PDCflow even offers SMS integration APIs, so companies can integrate a full texting solution into an existing system of record.
Scalable and affordable for Small Businesses and Enterprise
Unlike other products, PDCflow doesn’t charge per user. We don’t have hidden costs or higher pricing tiers just to access the features your company needs.
With volume discounts and software flexibility, companies can easily scale operations without having to upgrade their plan.

FAQs About Adobe Acrobat Sign vs PDCflow
How Small Business and Enterprise teams use PDCflow
Give your team the tools they need to close deals fast.
“That was the big advantage to the payment side of PDCflow, because what we were using before did not have an interface where all of the reps could sign in and see who had paid. So all of the payment notifications were going to our bookkeeper by email.
She was having to find out whose client it was and forward off these payment notifications so that the reps would know that they needed to move forward on their work.”
74% close rate of contracts signed with a payment.
Save time, create faster customer signature and payment cycles
Make doing business easy for your team and your customers.
“What I was most concerned with is how hard is it for our agents to use? How hard is it for our management team to set it up? And once the consumer gets the information, how hard is it to process the payment?
And as of right now with Flow, the check mark is in the easy box on all three of those. It’s easy for us to set it up, it is easy for us to send it out to the consumer, and it’s very easy for the consumer to make a payment.”
