Exchanging certificates with associates

You can simplify the process of validating signatures in the PDF files you review by having all the review team members exchange copies of their Self-Sign Security certificates. Acrobat makes this easy by adding an export function to the Manage Trusted Identities dialog box. To open this dialog box, choose Advanced➪Manage Digital IDs➪Trusted Identities. Select your Digital ID from the list box in the Manage Trusted Identities dialog box and click the Export button to open the Data Exchange File - Export Options dialog box. Two radio buttons appear in the Export options section. The first is the E-mail the Data to Someone radio button that you can select to send a copy of your certificate to team members in a new e-mail message. The second is the Save the Data to File radio button that you can use to make a copy of the certificate file that others can import into their Trusted Certificates list. (For example, you can use this option if you and your coworkers are on the same network and share access to certain folders.)
When you select the Save the Data to a File radio button, Acrobat opens an Export Data As dialog box, where you can designate the drive and folder on which the copy of your certificate is saved (saved in a special Acrobat Self-Sign key file format that uses a .fdf file extension) when you click the Save button. When you select the E-mail the Data to Someone radio button, Acrobat opens the Compose E-mail dialog box, To send the e-mail, fill in the recipient’s e-mail address in the To text box, make any necessary changes in the default text provided in the message window, and click the E-mail button. Acrobat transfers the information into your e-mail client in order to send your certificate data to someone else.
