- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing and archiving completed PDF agreements signed via a shared visitor link.
- Observed behavior
- The user wants to know the default storage location, account limitations, and methods for saving signed files directly to Google Drive or a local drive.
Ensure you have administrator or sender access to the Adobe Acrobat Sign account used to generate the shared link, as you will need these permissions to view and manage completed agreements.
Locate Completed Agreements in the Adobe Sign Dashboard
The default storage location for all signed agreements is directly within your Adobe Acrobat Sign account.
By default, Adobe securely stores all completed documents in the cloud associated with the sender's account. You can manually download these at any time to keep local backups.
Sign in to the Adobe Acrobat Sign account that was used to create and send the shared link.
Click on the 'Manage' or 'Agreements' tab located at the top of your primary dashboard.
Select 'Completed' from the left-hand navigation menu to view a list of all finalized documents.
Click on any completed agreement to view its details, download the PDF, or download the audit report to your local drive.
Automatically Save Completed Documents to Google Drive
You can set up cloud integrations to automatically back up finalized agreements to external storage services like Google Drive.
Sign PDFs and Save Them Locally with WPS Office
If you need full control over where your signed documents are stored without relying on enterprise cloud limits, WPS Office allows you to fill, sign, and instantly save PDFs directly to your local hard drive or Google Drive.
- 1. Open the PDF in WPS Office: Launch WPS Office and open the PDF document you need to sign or edit.
- 2. Add Your Signature: Navigate to the 'Fill & Sign' or 'Insert' tab, click on 'Sign', and create or insert your digital signature.
- 3. Save the Document Locally: Click 'Menu' followed by 'Save As' to explicitly choose your local hard drive or a synced cloud folder as the storage location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover an expired or deleted Adobe Sign document?
Deleted documents in Adobe Sign cannot usually be recovered from the dashboard. If an agreement expires, the sender must recreate and resend the link. Always ensure you have a local backup of important files.
Why can't I see my completed agreements in Adobe Sign?
You may not be logged into the correct sender account, or you might be looking under the wrong filter. Ensure you are checking the 'Completed' tab under the 'Manage' section.
Do recipients automatically get a copy of the completed document?
Yes, by default, Adobe Sign automatically emails a PDF copy of the finalized agreement to all signers and the sender once the signature process is fully complete.
How do I check my Adobe Sign storage limit?
Storage limits are tied to your specific subscription plan. You can review your usage and limits by logging into the Adobe Admin Console and checking the 'Storage' tab under your account settings.
