How do I replace the background logo of a signature certificate in windows 10? Trying to replace the trifoil log with my own.

I have seen the post on how to do this on other OS's but I can't figure out how to do it in windows 10.

Correct answer George_Johnson

What you're asking about is also called a watermark, as opposed to a signature appearance. See section 2.2.2.2 of the following document: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/DigSig/Acrobat_DigSig_WorkflowGuide.pdf

In short, you have to create a PDF (named SignatureLogo.pdf) of the watermark and install in a particular location on the system.

I have my logo saved in the correct file location:

C:\Users\D3476421\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\2017\Security

 

But for some reason I only get the Adobe logo:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Can you respond with the location for an Acrobat Pro DC user? The folder hierarchy doesn't seem to follow your post sequence.

Have you found the folder?

2- Under Appearances(in the bottom)>select New>Configure Graphic>Imported graphic>select File> click on Browse

3- Select the image you want as a background>Open>OK>OK  (you can also "Configure Text" like Name, location etc. ) close the Preferences dialog tab.

4- Open the pdf>select Certificates under Tools>Digitally Sign

5- When asked, select your recently created logo under Appearance.

Let me know if you face any issue while following the steps.
