Purchased Certificate vs Self-Signed Certificate

Post by ketter »

I understand how to create a self-signed certificate in PDF XChange Viewer Pro. But can I purchase a certificate from a CA and use it with PDF XChange Viewer Pro? If so, is there any documentation on this?

Thanks!

Hello Ken,

Yes you can use a third party certificate.
You will need to have it installed on your machine and then when creating a new signature just select the certificate from your windows storage rather than creating a personal one.

Other than that there are no differences in what type of certificate you would be using.

Best,
Stefan
