Businesses of all sizes rely on digital or electronic signatures to accelerate document workflows, support remote collaboration, and protect document authenticity. However, not all PDFs are created equal when it comes to electronic signature compatibility. In fact, one of the most common types of PDF forms used by many organizations is incompatible with nearly all popular e-signature solutions.

The Problem with Dynamic XFA Forms

XFA (eXtensible Forms Architecture) forms, while in common use today, often present compatibility issues that can hinder the seamless integration of electronic signatures. Many popular e-signature services, including Adobe Sign and DocuSign, do not support dynamic XFA forms, leading to disruptions in signature workflows. Fortunately, there is another type of PDF form that is universally compatible with electronic signing services.
