9.2.3.1 Responding to an Email Request for a Digital ID

There may be times when someone else needs your digital ID to verify your signature or encrypt a file for
you to decrypt (for example, when applying certificate security). To do either, they need access to the
public part of your digital ID so that it can be added to their trusted identities list. One way someone can
get your ID is to request it in an email.
To request your certificate, a user will simply choose Advanced (Acrobat) or Document (Adobe Reader) >
Manage Trusted Identities and then choose Request Contact. Acrobat automatically attaches an FDF
file with their public certificate to an email that requests your digital ID. The workflow is essentially a digital
ID "trade" that allows two users to exchange digital IDs. You must have a digital ID before responding to
the request.
Note: For roaming ID server settings, choose an account under Roaming ID Accounts.
