Windows Zertifikat zum Unterschreiben vorbelegen

[-27299692yc7o]

Wenn ich ein PDF unterschreiben will bietet der Reader mir immer eine Auswahl der aktuell im Windows Zertifikat Stor hinterlegten User Zertifikate an. Das geschieht auch wenn nur ein einziges da ist.

Ich habe nur eine Stelle gefunden (Einstellungen \ Unterschriften \ Identitäten \ Verwendungsoptionen) mit der ich manuell ein Zertifikat zum Unterschreiben auswählen kann. Aber selbst mit einem Ausgewähltem wird beim Unterschreiben immer noch erneut nach einem Zertifikat gefragt.  

Kann man ein bestimmtes Zertifikat (am besten automatisiert per Script oder GPO) als Default hinterlegen damit man das nicht ständig bei jeder Unterschrift auswählen muss ?

Hi @-27299692yc7o

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble with digital certificates.

To avoid being prompted to select a digital ID each time your sign or certify a PDF, you can select a default digital ID:

• In Acrobat Reader, click the Edit menu and choose Preferences > Signatures. In Identities & Trusted Certificates, click More.

• Click Digital IDs on the left, and then select the digital ID you want to use as the default.

• Click the Usage Options button, and choose a task for which you want the digital ID as the default. To specify the digital ID as the default for tasks, click the Usage Options button again and select a second option.

You may learn more here: Manage Digital IDs in Acrobat.

Hope this helps.

Sorry but that doesn't help because it doesn't work. 

As I wrote, I set the only Certificate available in the Windows store as default but Reader still ask me to select one.

Verified this behavior on 3 different computer and 3 differnt logged in User (one with completeley new and fresh installed windows). the Reader version is 2022.003.20282

I test it also with a new selfsigned certificate which was generated with the reader itself.

Last I would need a automatic solution as this should be done for >1000 Computer.

Hi @-27299692yc7o,

Sorry for the trouble. Can you check if all the three options are selected when trying to sign a document?

Hmm... which 3 Options do you mean ?
I can just checkmark one option "signing" (see pic)

Hi, 

Shared below is a similar community thread that addresses the question you have.

Would you mind having a look at it and let us know if this helps: Re: Digital Cert Signature with No Prompt

as I understand "George" correct he has the same problem I have. He set a special certificate manually as default and the program (in his case Acrobat Pro in my case the Reader) ignors it and prompt for the certificat to use.
