9.4 Adobe Trusted Identity Updates

In order to facilitate workflows that use certificates, Adobe occasionally sends new certificates configured
as trust anchors to application users. These certificates allow you to validate signatures that are signed
with certificates that chain up to those trusted certificates. In other words, you can validate those
signatures without the extra steps of trusting each signer's certificate or manually configuring another
trust anchor. These certificates are carefully selected and generally belong to major organizations such as
countries or government agencies.
The application default is to check for updates and then ask if you would like to install them. However, you
can modify this behavior as follows:
1. Choose one of the following:
Acrobat and Adobe Reader (Windows): Edit > Preferences > Trust Manager

Acrobat and Adobe Reader (Macintosh): (Application) > Preferences > Trust Manager

2. Configure the options as needed:
Turn the update off or on.

Turn Ask before installing option off or on.

Choose Update Now to get the latest certificates.

3. Choose OK.
