Setting Acrobat Self-Sign Security preferences
You can choose to encapsulate your signature in the standard PKCS#7 format for compati-
bility with other signature handlers.
To set Acrobat Self-Sign Security preferences:
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Select Self-Sign Security in the left pane of the
Preferences dialog box.
2
Select Use Certificate Message Syntax (PKCS#7 format) Signature to encapsulate signa-
tures in the standard PKCS#7 format rather than leaving them as two separate entries in
the PDF file. Select this option if interoperability with signature mechanisms other than
Self-Sign Security (that support the PKCS#7 standard) are desired. Selecting this option is
recommended.

Click OK.
