Tracking digital signatures in the Signatures palette
The Signatures palette lists all the signatures in the current document (with their status), in
the order they were added. You can collapse a signature to see only a name, date, and
status, or you can expand it to see more information.
To show the Signatures palette:
Choose Window > Signatures, or click the security key icon
in the status bar and
choose Show Signatures from the security key pop-up menu. The security key menu is
available only when a document has signatures or other security properties.
To expand or collapse a signature in the palette:
Click the plus sign (Windows) or triangle (Mac OS) to the left of the signature to expand it.
Click the minus sign (Windows) or the rotated triangle (Mac OS) to the left of the signature
to collapse it.
Expanded signature
Each signature in the palette has an icon identifying its current verification status. For an
explanation of these icons, see
“Verifying signatures” on page 203
.
If you edit a signed document, the question mark icon
indicates that the document has
been modified with the signature in the Signatures palette.
