Validating Signatures on Another PC

I am trying to establish a process at work to have management digital sign their documents.  This all works fine.  When I open the PDF on another computer, it shows the signature it not verified.  Thus, I am trying understand the process of how the Digital ID is exported and imported onto the verifying PC.  If I import the pfx file, that is not ideal, as I have to share the password with the person to import it and they can now sign as me.  Thus, I simply want a process they can import "something" from me that validates the password on their end without allowing them to sign as me.  I went through this link.

Digital IDs in Acrobat

Step 8 says...

The ID is created. You can export and send your certificate file to contacts who can use it to validate your signature.

When I export it, it creates a FDF file or CER file.  I do not know if these are the right files to share with the other user or what steps I am missing.

Any help is truly appreciated.
