FDF & Digital Signatures

DO FDF files contain digital signatures?

This doesn't seem to be connected to the forum. Try the Acrobat

Windows or Acrobat SDK forum. The answer, though, for a normal

submission must be no.

Hi Paul,

When exporting to an FDF file, the user does have the option of signing the file, so yes, and FDF file may contain a digital signature.

Hi,

To start with, here's a screen shot:

I've attached the FDF file to the post as well. When you go to open the file after you've downloaded it to your local machine don't forget to change the "Files of type" to All Files.
The default is PDF and you won't see the FDF file unless you reset the "Files of type" in the Open dialog.
