- Vos données doivent rester en UE sans option Cloud Act.
- Vous voulez une API REST dès le plan Standard (19 €/mois) sans passer par un devis entreprise.

Manatili sa Adobe Acrobat Sign kung…
- Vous êtes déjà profondément investi dans Adobe Creative Cloud / Document Cloud et la signature n'est qu'un add-on.

- Vous avez un contrat-cadre Adobe Enterprise avec des conditions négociées qui rendent la migration peu rentable.
Frequently asked questions
Are Acrobat Sign and Acrobat Pro the same thing?
Acrobat Sign is Adobe''s electronic signature module, integrated into Acrobat Pro for teams (23.99 $/user/month) and also available as standalone enterprise (Acrobat Sign Solutions, custom pricing). Acrobat Standard for teams (14.99 $/user/month) includes basic signature but not advanced features (workflows, API, QES).
Can I migrate from Acrobat Sign to Certyneo?
Yes. Adobe allows you to export each signed envelope as PDF with certificate. Our assisted migration imports these archives while preserving probative value. Adobe templates can be reconstructed in Certyneo — their proprietary format doesn''t export as-is but their logic (fields, signers, conditions) can be replicated.
Is Adobe Sign more secure because it comes from Adobe?
Adobe maintains a high level of security (ISO 27001, SOC 2). But technical security does not eliminate exposure to the US Cloud Act, which remains a legal issue linked to the domicile of the entity. For sensitive European personal data (HR, legal, medical), an EU-domiciled provider like Certyneo eliminates this risk vector.
How much does Adobe Sign really cost on top of Photoshop / Acrobat?
If you already have an Acrobat Pro for teams license (23.99 $/user/month ≈ 22 €), the signature module is included. If you only need signature, you still pay for the full Acrobat suite. Certyneo Personal (9 €/month) covers only the signature need, without charging for the Acrobat suite.
Is Adobe Sign subject to the American Cloud Act?
Yes. Adobe Inc. is a NASDAQ-listed American company, subject to the CLOUD Act and FISA. Even when data is hosted in the EU (Adobe data centres in Ireland), American authorities can compel the parent company to disclose data. The CNIL and EDPB have published several opinions on this residual risk for European personal data.
Is the Adobe Sign REST API accessible to SMEs without an enterprise contract?
The Adobe Sign API is technically accessible on Acrobat Sign Solutions (business plan starting at ~40 $US/user/month) but many API features (workflows, advanced webhooks) require Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise with custom pricing. Certyneo exposes the full REST API + HMAC-signed webhooks from 19 €/month without sales contact.
Is qualified eIDAS signature (QES) available at Adobe Sign?
Adobe Sign offers QES via partnerships with qualified European providers (eIDAS Trust Service Providers), generally on dedicated enterprise plans and with additional cost per qualified signature. Certyneo offers all three levels (SES, AES, QES) with integrated identity verification by video (IDnow) — QES is an enterprise option.
How much does a multi-signatory workflow cost on Adobe Sign vs Certyneo?
Sequential multi-signatory workflows at Adobe Sign are available on Acrobat Sign for teams (23.99 $US/user/month) with advanced routing limits on higher plans. Certyneo includes sequential, parallel and conditional workflows with validators and observers on all paid plans from 9 €/month, with no per-envelope fees.
