it has been 3 weeks since this and i tried everything to fix this, even edit registry key to retrieve the old icon with the lock. I can’t set an adobe icon for signed pdf. tried repairing and reinstalling, with multiple pc. i use adobe acrobat pro dc x64
It’s great that you found a way to show icons as you desired.
One word of warning, though: Acrobat does not explicitly support PDFs in p7m envelopes.
For Acrobat such files are PDF files with some leading and some trailing trash bytes. It tolerates a certain amount of such trash bytes around the PDFs by searching the actual start and end of the PDF inside the file. If there are too many trash bytes before or after, though, it doesn’t locate them, assumes a seriously broken PDF, and applies generic PDF repair. While this kind of repair often succeeds to recover the original PDF, it sometimes fails and results in a PDF that displays differently from the original one.
Thus, opening *.pdf.p7m directly with Acrobat may be acceptable practice for a quick first look (e.g. to determine whether it is the right kind of document) but if you want to look up specific data in it, you should extract the actual PDF from the p7m envelope and view that extracted PDF.
