Hi Guys,

is it possible to disable signature verification in Acrobat Reader DC?

Thank you and best regards

Paddy

      Correct answer

      I'm trying to maximize the "real estate" available to display a document, and would like to get rid of the blue Signature Panel message telling me "At least one signature requires validating."


      Hey, I was in the exact same boat. I found out that I can click on the icon on the far left of the blue bar (the signature w/ either a magnifying glass or yellow warning symbol), and it'll hide the bar, storing it in the left... pull-out toolbar? I'm not sure what it's called, the one that shows bookmarks, attachments, etc.

       

      This works as of Pro DC 2019.xxx.

       

      Hope this is of help,

      Apologies, I entered my reply in the wrong place (newbie here). Trying again:

       

      This doesn't seem to work. I turned off the verify signatures box and the box below it (prompt to review untrusted signatures); I tried manually validating the signature that was causing the blue panel to display; and I tried telling it to trust all root certificates. (Restarting Reader in between steps.) Still no luck.

      What are you trying to achieve, exactly?

        Go to Edit - Preferences - Signatures and click on More next to Verification, and then tick off the "Verify signatures when the document is opened' box.

          A light blue bar keeps popping up, notifying the user that at least one signature requires validation.

          Is there a option (registry) to disable the whole validation crap?  I tried to hide the bar by adding the entry 'bEnableSignPane' := 0 in Acrobat DC but it did not work out.

          Thank you for your suggestions.

            I don't think that's possible.
