[blindlaw] Adobe Sign Accessibility

[Michal Nowicki]

Thank you, Noel. Have you found inserting signature stamps or signature blocks accessible? What about filling out signer data fields manually? I ask because it is my understanding that there are several ways to sign a document using Adobe Sign.

Last year, I researched the issue of whether the Adobe signature-signing process is accessible .  I found that Adobe itself acknowledged that the process is not accessible.  I have to have someone help me with the parft of the process that requires using a mouse.  Some of the process is accessible to  me using JAWS but when it comes to the part that requires drawing a box for the signature, it is not accessible.

Colleagues,

Have any of you had any luck e-signing documents using Adobe Sign with a screen reader? If so, could you please share any workarounds you used to interact with the signature panel? I have no trouble selecting recipients, typing my message, or uploading files for signature, but once I navigate to the next screen where signatures need to be added, I can navigate to, but not interact with, any of the signature fields with the latest version of JAWS or NVDA. I’ve been accessing Adobe Sign on-line through Chrome, not in Acrobat itself.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am expected to e-sign contracts and send out to customers on a client’s behalf. The client doesn’t know I am blind, and if I don’t have to, I would prefer not to disclose this in case it would make the client feel apprehensive in any way, potentially jeopardizing the relationship. Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Michal
