Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see my document in Adobe Document Cloud?

Ensure you are logged in with the exact email address used during the e-signing process. Additionally, Adobe can only download files that were explicitly stored in Document Cloud; if the sender did not enable cloud storage, it will not appear there.

Can I edit an e-signed PDF after downloading it?

No. E-signed documents are usually secured and locked by the signature provider to prevent tampering and maintain legal validity. Modifying the file will automatically invalidate the digital signature.

What should I do if the lender's website download link is broken?

Try clearing your browser cache, accessing the site using an incognito window, or trying a completely different web browser. If the issue persists, contact the lender's customer support directly to request a copy of the agreement via email.
