What Is An eSignature API?

An eSignature API lets your application send documents and collect legally binding electronic signatures — without your users ever leaving your product. 

You upload a file, add signers, and the API returns a signed, AATL-certified PDF with a full audit trail.

Upload

Send a PDF or Word file through the API.

Add signers

Define signers, order and fields. Each signer gets a secure link — no account needed.

Get the signed PDF

When everyone has signed, you receive the sealed, AATL-certified PDF and its audit trail.

Signatures Sealed With Adobe (AATL)

Every signature you collect through the API is sealed with our certificate-based seal on the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL). 

Open the signed PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Reader and it shows the green check: “Signature is valid.” No warnings, no extra software.

Certified Electronic Signature

AATL-certified

QuickSigner's seal is on the Adobe Approved Trust List, so Acrobat and Reader trust every signature automatically.

PAdES-sealed

The eSignature is embedded inside the PDF and tamper-evident — any change after signing is detectable.

Qualified timestamp

A trusted timestamp gives long-term validity (LTV), so the signature stays verifiable for years.

AATL is the global list of certificate providers that Adobe trusts. 

A signature backed by AATL appears as valid in any Adobe reader and stands up in court.
