2.2.2 Sharing (Exporting) a Digital ID Certificate

Digital ID certificates must be distributed among participants in signing and certificate encryption
workflows. Other users must have access to your certificate before:
They can validate your signature if they are not already trusting a certificate above yours in the

certificate chain. Note that a signature always includes the signer's certificate, so validation can occur
with the certificate embedded in the signature if it is not already on the validator's machine.
They can encrypt a document for you using certificate security.

Certificates can be emailed or saved to a file. Acrobat 9.x allows you to export a digital ID to an
acrobatsecurity settings file by choosing Advanced > Security > Export Security Settings. You can also
use FDF files to export your certificate so that others can import it into their trusted identities list. For
details, see
