After applying patch 15.023.20056.  When trying to open a signed pdf,  reader crashes.

Installing patch 15.023.20070 does not correct the issue.

The only way I can open the file is to Disable "verify signatures when the document is opened.

    Hi Wgpjr,

    Can you please share the signed pdf. We need to know the details of the digital id used for signing to analyze why Acrobat crashes while validating it.

    Hi,

    I get a similar crash when opening a signed+timestamp file:

    If I disable the "auto signature check" it will only crash when doing a manual check but the file will open.

    This crash is something really new for us, it wasn't happening in January when we ran similar tests.
