FAQ

Questions about Upload Transient Document.

What does the Upload Transient Document action do in Adobe Acrobat Sign?

Uploads a PDF or Word document to Adobe Sign's transient storage — returns a document ID valid for 7 days. The first step in the create-agreement flow; decouples upload from agreement creation so the same document can drive multiple parallel agreements without re-uploading.

What inputs does Upload Transient Document require?

Required: File URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Adobe Acrobat Sign returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Upload Transient Document support batch operations?

Yes. Run Upload Transient Document inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Adobe Acrobat Sign's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Action

Create Signature Agreement

Creates a new signature agreement from a previously uploaded transient document, with the configured signers and signing order. Adobe Sign sends the first signer the email immediately (or all signers in parallel for unordered). Pair with Upload Transient Document — the two-step is Adobe's recommended pattern for programmatic sending.

Action

Get Agreement Status

Returns the current state of an agreement — per-signer status (sent, viewed, signed, declined), audit trail, and download URLs for the signed PDF once all signers complete. Poll this for completion or pair with the agreement-completed webhook for push-based notification.
