Evidence of signature validity in Acrobat DC Pro

Question

Dear All,

During COVID-19 challenging times we use the Adobe DC Pro local certificate for signing PDF documents. It there any official Adobe document that proves the validity of the certificate and the signature process in Adobe DC Pro?

Regards,

Hi there

Thanks for reaching out. When Digital Signatures are validated, an icon appears in the document message bar to indicate the signature status. Additional status details appear in the Signatures panel and in the Signature Properties dialog box.

When you receive a signed document, you may want to validate its signature(s) to verify the signer and the signed content. Depending on how you have configured your application, validation may occur automatically. Signature validity is determined by checking the authenticity of the signature’s digital ID certificate status and document integrity:

Authenticity verification confirms that the signer's certificate or its parent certificates exist in the validator’s list of trusted identities. It also confirms whether the signing certificate is valid based on the user's Acrobat or Reader configuration.
Document integrity verification confirms whether the signed content changed after it was signed. If content changes, document integrity verification confirms whether the content changed in a manner permitted by the signer.
