Acrobat Family of Products Security Feature User Guide External Content and Document Security Adobe Trusted Identity Updates 103 8.4 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. 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.
