Acrobat 9 Family of Products Security Feature User Guide Migrating and Sharing Security Settings Importing Application Settings with FDF Files 175 Figure 139 Downloaded roaming ID certificates 10.2.3.8 Importing a Trust Anchor and Setting Trust Users occasionally need to import a trust anchor so that certificates that chain up to that anchor will also be trusted. This is particularly true in large organizations, and system administrators often distribute a trust anchor so that everyone within that organization can trust everyone else at the same level for signature workflows. For more information about trust anchors, see "Distributing a Trust Anchor or Trust Root" on page 155. To import a certificate that will be used as a trust anchor: 1. Open the FDF with one of the following methods: Click on the FDF file. It may be an email attachment or a file on a network or your local system. In Acrobat or Adobe Reader choose File > Open, browse to the FDF file, and choose Open. Note: It is unlikely that you will receive a signed FDF file containing a trusted root. However, if you do, simply check Accept the level of trust specified by the signer for all contacts in this file and then choose Close. Skip the rest of the steps. 2. For unsigned FDF files containing a trusted root (the most likely case), choose Set Contact Trust. 3. Import the certificates. 4. Do one of the following: If you already have the certificate: 1. Choose Advanced (Acrobat) or Document (Adobe Reader) > Manage Trusted Identities. 2. Choose Certificates in the Display drop down list. 3. Select the certificate. 4. Choose Edit Trust. If the certificate is in a signature: 1. Right click and choose Signature Properties. 2. Choose Show Certificate. 3. Select the Trust tab. 4. Choose Add to Trusted Identities.
