I am building my first .acrobatsecurity file for standardization and certificate template. I have read the core manuals. Unfortunately none really offer a primer this type of file creation. I know I could do this via FDF creation. But would prefer to pursue this as it appears to be a better long term solution.
So....
1. Is there a standard template format document to reference?
2. Is there a primer/content detail on syntax for building the file?
3. Are there any basic gotchas or pitfalls I face in creating a acrobatsecurity file over an FDF?

Any pointers or suggestions gladly accepted.

Thanks

Steven

Have you looked at Chapter 3 of the [url=http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/52658564/acrobat_reader_security_9x.pdf?version=1]Settings Import and Export[/url] technical guide? It will walk you through the process of creating the .acrobatsecurity file (which is XML embedded in a PDF).

Thanks I had done that, But find the Adobe documentation somewhat circular in the build model.
Quite simply I want to add a set of Trusted Identities, Watermark(SignatureLogo.pdf) Trusted Roots, Time Stamping Authority, Directory Server and such.
I was hoping more for a cookbook/template I could reference and then build using an XML editor, then create a PDF wrapper to allow importation.

Ah well, I have done a basic .acrobatsecurity file. But wish I could review it/debug it if wrong.

Thanks

Steven
