While Adobe Sign and DocuSign provide nearly identical services, the vocabulary used by each service to refer to the same item differs in several important cases.
An agreement contains one or more documents to be signed.
The agreement is a single transaction within Adobe Sign.
The agreement is identical in concept to a DocuSign envelope.
In both cases templates are used to create reusable documents with signature and data fields that can be sent.
Adobe Sign does not allow templates to be the basis for a web form.
Workflows allow you to create a customized signing workflow.
They do not work with web forms.
Only account and group admins can create workflows
In both cases this provides a web-addressable link to a document to be completed and signed. DocuSign bases PowerForms on templates.
Adobe Sign does not require a web form to start from a template. It will allow you to start with a document from scratch and add the signature and data fields. You do have the ability to save the work as a template.
It is an Adobe Sign best practice to create individual templates for each document first (for better maintenance and reuse).
Web forms and PowerForms both allow the initial participant who launches the form to input the emails and names for the remaining participants.
