Hi, a customer of mine is using Acrobat LiveCycle ES2 v9 (2016), and the Root CA certificate has expired today.

I found this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/attention-adobe-root-ca-certificate-on-reader-extended-pdfs-expiring-soon/td-p/13352248

Which upgrades do I have to made before being able to install the new CA 2 certificate, and where can I get one?

Any help would be appreciated.

kind regards,

Sven

Or if this is about a LiveCycle product, you'd need to upgrade to AEM. It's Acrobat or LiveCycle, not both.

@Bernd Alheit do you mean I need to install the Acrobat DC or Acrobat 2020 in Live Cycle Licensing server then I can get the new cert at below?

 

 

 

 

  


Then you can sign Reader Extended PDFs with Adobe Acrobat.

    When you subscribe to Acrobat DC, and install it, it includes that certificate.

    Hi @Sven27863882z6ic 

     

    Adobe Acrobat uses a certificate issued by 'Adobe Root CA' to sign Reader Extended PDFs. This certificate can no longer be used to create new Reader Extended PDFs post its expiry on January 7, 2023. The November 2022 update of Adobe Acrobat (Continuous and Classic track) creates Reader Extended PDFs using a new certificate issued by ‘Adobe Root CA 2’. Adobe recommends users update to the latest version of Acrobat (November 2022 update or later) to continue using this functionality post-January 7, 2023.

     

    For more information, please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-extended-pdfs-and-adobe-root-ca-expiry.html

     

    Please update the application to the latest version, 22.3.20281 (Mac) or 22.3.202082 (Win) and reboot the computer once. Go to Help > Check for updates.

    You may also download the patch manually from the link https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

    Thanks for your answer, Amal.

    Adobe Lifecycle ES2 v9.0.0.0 SP2 is on this system

    will the new certificate come together with an upgrade or can I get it somewhere?

    My customer needs it on other systems to sign documents so I can't make an upgrade now. His business is already hundreds of documents behind.

    any ideas?

    rgds,

    Sven
