For me it is still confusing, I don't see my certificates under trusted certs in the macro security dialog and have no clue how or where I can add trusted certs. But I can sign documents under Windows with a self signed cert. If the cert is added as trusted root cert it can be validated. I will do more checks on Linux and Mac with an older version but have this really worked before?
