Is it possible to apply the Adobe Sign e-signature based on an Appian button? If so, is there any documentation related to this?

    No.  As far as I've seen the best you can do is embed the Adobe Signing URL in an Appian interface and make the signing user sign it from there.  They will then need to be coached that they also must submit the Appian task (unless you can find a way in Appian to design around that, though I haven't yet).

    That pretty much nails our issue. We are trying to find a way to reduce the number of "clicks" it takes to sign documents and it doesn't look like there's anything that can be done on the Adobe Sign side. We are toying with the idea of utilizing RPA to trigger based on the "Approval Button" and then apply an e-signature on the PDF. We probably will see some latency but possible a better user experience.

    I don't have experience with Adobe signatures, but isn't there an option to sign the documents via API calls? I mean, do you NEED that UI interaction? Trying to make two UIs to collaborate where none is made for this, will always be a pain.
