A question for the list.
The last time I checked, Adobe chose to ship Acrobat Reader with only a single
trusted root Certificate Authority (GeoTrust). Does anyone know why such a
decision has been made, when there are countless other reputable CA's doing
business (just see the trusted CA list in your favorite browser).
This does make it rather difficult and expensive to sign PDFs in a way that
any reader can verify the signature without having to manually import the CA
certificate into Acrobat.
Does anyone know why Adobe made this choice (I assume it is some kind of
mutually profitable partnership)? And does anyone else agree with me that this
approach is not quite compatible with Adobe's publicly stated support of open
formats?
Best,
Chad Loder
