Last updated 1/14/2015

7 For Text Properties, specify the writing direction and type of digits used, and then click OK. See also Enable right-

to-left languages.

8 (Optional) If the dialog box includes the Additional Signature Information section, specify the reason for signing

the document, the location, and your contact information. These options are available only if you set them as your

preferences in the Creation and Appearance Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences > Signatures > Creation &

Appearance > More).

Set up a roaming ID account

A roaming ID is a digital ID that is stored on a server and can be accessed by the subscriber. You must have an Internet

connection to access a roaming ID and an account from an organization that supplies roaming digital IDs.

1 Open the Preferences dialog box.

2 Under Categories, select Signatures.

3 For Identities & Trusted Certificates, click More.

4 Expand Digital IDs on the left, select Roaming ID Accounts, and click Add Account.

5 Type the name and URL for the roaming ID server, and click Next.

6 Type your user name and password or follow the directions to create an account. Click Next, and then click Finish.

Once the roaming ID is added, it can be used for signing or encryption. When you perform a task that uses your

roaming ID, you’re automatically logged in to the roaming ID server if your authentication assertion hasn’t expired.

PKCS#12 modules and tokens

You can have multiple digital IDs that you use for different purposes, particularly if you sign documents in different

roles or using different certification methods. Digital IDs are usually password protected. They can be stored on your

computer in PKCS #12 file format. Digital IDs can also be stored on a smart card, hardware token, or in the Windows

certificate store. Roaming IDs can be stored on a server. Acrobat includes a default signature handler that can access

digital IDs from various locations. Register the digital ID in Acrobat for it to be available for use.

Store certificates on directory servers

Directory servers are commonly used as centralized repositories of identities within an organization. The server acts as

an ideal location to store user certificates in enterprises that use certificate encryption. Directory servers let you locate

certificates from network servers, including Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. After you locate a

certificate, you can add it to your list of trusted identities so that you don’t have to look it up again. By developing a

storage area for trusted certificates, you or a member of your workgroup can facilitate the use of encryption in the

workgroup.

For more information about directory servers, see the Digital Signature Guide (PDF) at

Import directory server settings (Windows only)

You import directory server settings using security import/export methodology or a security settings file. Before, you

import settings in a file using import/export methodology, ensure that you trust the file provider before opening it.

1 Open the Preferences dialog box.

2 Under Categories, select Signatures.

3 For Document TimeStamping, click More.
