Adobe reader downloads a CRL file when digital signing with Cacert certificate

Avatar

Level 1

It seems impossible to sign a pdf document with a Cacert client certificate.

When signing or reading an already signed document, Adobe Reader downloads the CRL file (Certificate Revocation List) from the Cacert site (http://crl.cacert.org). This download has to be aborted because it takes too much time.

How to solve this problem ?

The first method of authentication, OCSP, seems unsuccessful so the program downloads the CRL.

Below is a log of Adobe reader, which shows the OSCP check and after that the CRL check :
