    Hi,

     

    Support for CTK based Smart card is Available in Acrobat/ Reader.

    It can be turned on by enabling the prefrence.

    Go to Acrobat Pro Dc-> Prferences -> Signatures-> Creation and Appearance (More)

     

    Thanks,

    Sorry for this not adding to the resolution, I just want to make sure as much information is provided in the hope Adobe reads this and does something about it.

     

    Since Catalina now accepts DoD CAC cards too logon to Mac the “helper” reader apps have to be removed and Catalina doesn’t temporarily add the CAC to the keychain. Therefore I have lost the ability to Digitally Sign PDFs with my CAC card.

     

    Will your app move to corrects this Catalina problem?

    Hi Mark,

     

    I am not using the CAC solution with my cards. I have IDPrime cards (Gemalto) which contain a digital signature within (sign only certificates), and would like to use this certificate for PDF signing.

    Since the current smart card framework Mac provide is CTK (rather than tokend), I just wanted to know if Adobe do support CTK already when working with smart cards.

    Please let me know if I miss something....
