6.1.2 Selecting a Certificate to Use for Encryption

Because you encrypt a document for someone with the public key in their certificate, you must first
explicitly choose their certificate for encryption. Each contact in your Trusted Identity list should be
associated with at least one certificate. If there is only one certificate, Acrobat automatically selects it as the
one to use for encryption. If more than one certificate is associated with the contact, you can select which
one to use as the default encryption certificate.
Note:
To set a default certificate for encryption:
1. Choose Advanced > Manage Trusted Identities.
2. Choose a contact in the left-hand list.
3. Choose Details.
4. Highlight a certificate in the certificate list.
5. Choose Use for encryption
6. Choose OK.

To use a certificate for encryption must have encryption usage rights. A warning dialog appears
during the encryption process if the selected certificate cannot be used.
