We are looking to achieve an in-app eSignature function within our Appian workflow process. Is this available?
DocuSign integrations are available in the AppMarket, but all seem to route the user outside of Appian to the DocuSign platform to capture the approver's signature.
Adobe Sign Utility & Sign PDF Document both seem to be more in line with our request, but I would like to confirm if either are feasible.
Screenshot below shows the PDF embedded in the review pane where we would like to capture the eSignature directly within Appian.

No, our connected system uses API Key.
Hi Mike, thanks again for the helpful feedback on this. Last question (I hope), when the workflow is started, are your users preparing the workflow assignments (e.g.: responsible signers) directly in Appian or a separate window in Adobe Sign?
Generally speaking that's all set up for them in Appian - we try to limit their need to directly interact with Adobe Sign as much as possible, to keep them within the Appian ecosystem mainly.
That's our objective as well. Assuming you're using SSO to authenticate with Adobe?
Do you mean for our personal (admin) login purposes or for authenticating through Appian? If the latter, as I mentioned above, we're using API Key.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for you response.
We have achieved the required connectivity using API KEY. We added an additional functionality “Authoring” in our application. When The user upload the document he get the PDF document in AUTHORING state where he can drag and drop the SIGNATURE BLOCK inside PDF and send the document for signature.
As per the attached screenshot, When we upload the PDF document for e-signature the form should automatically be logged into Adobe.
As we are loading Adobe using the “WEB CONTENT” component the login happens only when we already authenticated Adobe in a different browser.
We are trying to authenticate the user within Appian without Adobe login into another browser.
Our end users in Appian are not users within the Adobe system at all (save for a few admin accounts that create / edit / manage the templates). We handle it all by the "signer email" (and similar) fields that get passed in at document creation.
