How do I verify a signature in Acrobat?
When you open a PDF document that has a signature Acrobat will attempt to verify the signature based on trusted certificates.
If the signature(s) cannot be verified you will see an indication that the they need to be verified, usually a question mark symbol. To verify a signature click on the signature, the Signature Validation Status dialog should open. Click on the Signature Properties button to open the properties dialog.
