Steps to extract PDF files

It is best to check the email account in Adobe Sign and share the email address with others.

Since our campus has two subdomains, cslanet or exchange, when sending the agreement without the subdomain, the user will get the email to sign the agreement, but it will not appear in the AdobeSign Portal Manage tab.    

Using the indicated email in the profile guarantees you can manage the agreement in the AdobeSign Portal.
