Thank again for quick response.  Appreciate it very much!

Yes it worked just like what you described.  Thanks.May I ask a follow-up question?Do I have to do this for each and every .pdf file?(suppose I received 1000 .pdf files from 1000 different people... can I add 1000 trusted identities in one shot?)
