Sign using Digital Certificates on iPad/iPhone

[brock_y]

Hello,

I am a member of the U.S armed forces. We use adobe acrobat everyday for general memos, formal waivers, and personnel performance reports. I have been working on mobile solutions for base leadership to be able to stay connected on their phones and ipads while on the road. While traveling, they frequently need access to their computer to sign adobe documents using their digital certificates. While this feature is great on PC, there is no current solution to allow for signing documents with digital certificates. Why is this? I know there are hardware solutions on the market that will read Common Access Cards (CAC) on a mobile device (ex Thursby Software) but adobe can not like to this hardware to digitally sign documents on iOS. Are there any plans in the future for Adobe to develop this capability? If no, why not? If this capability were developed by Adobe, I know many high level leaders in the Department of Defense for the U.S. would leverage it.  I look forward to hearing back from Adobe. Additionally, I would be willing to advise/test on how best to support this type of capability if it is being considered for development or in development. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Brock.y,

Currently, we do not have any information on adding this feature to the mobile application.

There are certain limitations for the mobile application over the desktop application.

However, we appreciate your valuable feedback on this.

Certificate Signatures should be available on IPadOS / ios.

This persons post was from over 2 years ago.

It is almost 2022. This feature should be available considering many people now use IPads as their main work device. 

I bought a $2,000 12.9" iPad Pro , for work , and it's useless because I can't do certificate signatures.
