Validate signatures

When you open a document, all the signatures in the document are validated by default. Validation includes verifying the signerΓÇÖs identity and assessing whether any changes were made since the document was signed. One way the signerΓÇÖs identity can be verified is by adding the signerΓÇÖs certificate to your list of trusted identities.

	Open the PDF document containing the signature you want to validate.
	Select the signature in the Signatures tab, and then choose Validate Signature from the Options menu.
	If the status is unknown, or if the document has been revised since it was signed, click Signature Properties, and then do any of the following:
	Click the Legal Notice tab to learn more about the legal restrictions of this signature, and then click Close. If the document has more than one signature, click View Signed Version to view a copy of the signed version in a separate document window.
