Adobe Systems has released free EchoSign application for iOS devices and users can easily get access to their EchoSign accounts and sign documents directly from their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.

With the new Adobe EchoSign application, users can send a document for legally-binding eSignature and get documents signed in minutes rather than days, get documents signed instantly on an iPad or iPhone when meeting a signatory in person and can send documents from an EchoSign library, photo album, email attachment or from other applications.

In addition, users can track the status of agreements with real-time status updates and also can view signed agreements stored in an EchoSign account.

Just like Adobe EchoSign Web service, the Adobe EchoSign app also offers protection for both the sender and the signatory during the signing process, including key authentication and privacy, fraud protection and consumer disclosure.

Adobe EchoSign Web business services vice-president Jason Lemkin said the enterprise is experiencing unprecedented adoption of tablets and mobile devices, presenting new opportunities to leverage cloud applications to streamline business processes and greater efficiency.

"With the Adobe EchoSign app, we’re making it that much easier for organizations to incorporate Web contracting into their business models, allowing users to sign documents and send documents for signing right from their iOS device. The end result is a higher rate of contract completion in less time, leading to increased productivity," said Lemkin.
