Associate a certificate with a contact

Contacts are typically trusted identities with whom you exchange documents. To exchange encrypted PDFs with a contact, you must associate at least one certificate with that contact.

Adding a contact may or may not add a certificate because certificates aren’t necessarily attached to the contact information. Add contact information by browsing to the contact file location or search for the file.

  1. Choose Document > Manage Trusted Identities.
  2. Select the contact, and click Details.
  3. Select a name from the list, and click Associate Certificate.
  4. Select a certificate, and click OK. Click OK again.
