I'm a physician using Macintosh OSX (10.4.9) and Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 (I do plan to 8.0 upgrade soon!). On a Windows PC to Digitally Sign or "Certify Document" utilizing a Trusted Third-Party is fairly easy to do but on a Macintosh impossible as far as I can tell. Nobody that I've communicated with over the past 7 days can give me a solution. As far as I can tell, the Macintosh/Adobe platform for Digital Signatures and Certified Document with Third-Party Verification doesn't exist and nobody appears to be working on a solution. With HIPAA and other contractual matters in Healthcare today I'm perplexed at the lack of a solution. Thanks....Mark

Have you browsed the Entrust (http://www.entrust.com) and VeriSign (http://www.verisign.com) Web sites? I believe both companies offer signature handling services for the Macintosh.
As far as built-in Acrobat security and digitally signing documents, it's supported equally on the Mac as it is on Windows).
