Adobe Sign Guide Change Log
Latest Updates
I personally test each Adobe Sign tag for compatibility with Adobe InDesign, as well as Acrobat Pro and Word. This change log captures my latest updates to the Guide and the Text Tag Generator.
InDesign compatibility with Adobe Sign is not recorded in Adobe Acrobat Sign's text tag documentation. I am proud to offer confirmed tagging guidance with this site. :)
