Document Signing certificate not available for use

Hello,

 

My organisation is retiring our internal Certificate Authority which has been used to issue certificates used to sign PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Reader and Pro.  Our business processes will continue to digitally sign PDF documents even when no CA is available, so we're looking to automate creation of a self-signed certificate in Microsoft Windows.

 

We are well aware the implications of using self-signed certificates and 'trust' in this scenario - this is not relevant to our organisation.

 

The issue is that Adobe Acrobat Reader does not list the user's self-signed certificate.  I've tried adding the certificate to the user's Trusted CA store, and specifying all key usage values while creating it, trying to set the usage options within Acrobat's "Digital ID and Trusted Certificate Settings" etc ... but nothing so far has allowed me to use the self-signed certificate to digitally sign a PDF.

 

Can anyone help with this please?

Hi @bob49324 

Getting a self signed certficate trusted in Adobe's AATL list is not possible as only valid CAs are trusted. 

Sign using self signed certificate is very much possible. Just create the certificate and sign using the file which was created by you. 

Let me know the problem being caused by you in doing that.

 

Thanks,

Shakti K
