I am trying to implement electronic signatures for documents that go through a develop review approve process so they are signed by 3 seperate individuals.
 
All users have adobe acrobat 9.
 
Is it possible to save the PKC when you originally create you digital ID to a network location so that integrity is satisfied ie if i sign the document as the developer and then it is sent to the reviewer my signature will not show as valid unless the the PC that my reviewer is on can see the PKC on a network location somewhere, this at least is what i am presuming please correct me if I am wrong there.
 
Any other guidance on setting this kind of a system up using adobe acrobat 9 would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cheers
 
Paul

The public key for a self-signed certificate can be shared with a recipient, but it's not read in real-time from an external folder - each user has to manualy import the key directly into their system (though how you get them the file doesn't matter).

Using rooted certificates (purchased commercially) Acrobat and Reader will verify them from the trust lists it downloads from the Web, so a recipient doesn't need to do anything to prove it's genuine.
