Case Study: Acepodia achieves faster FDA-compliant document signing with Adobe Acrobat Sign

How Adobe Acrobat Sign helps Acepodia comply with FDA regulations

Acepodia, a biopharmaceutical innovator developing cell therapies for cancer, needed a faster way to manage CRO agreements while meeting strict FDA electronic signature requirements, including 21 CFR Part 11. The company had relied on paper-based, wet-signature workflows that were slow, costly, and difficult to coordinate across teams in the U.S., Taiwan, and remote locations. Adobe Acrobat Sign was selected as the electronic signature solution that could satisfy Acepodia’s compliance needs.

Adobe implemented Acrobat Sign to digitize and automate agreement routing, with audit trails, identity verification, encryption, and signer details that support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. The result was a much faster, more visible signing process that cut document completion time from weeks to hours and eliminated courier costs. With Adobe Acrobat Sign, Acepodia now supports research and clinical trials more efficiently while staying compliant.
