Why Adobe may say this certificate is not trusted Acrobat can show “unknown issuer” or that the certificate is not trusted. That means Adobe does not recognise this certificate on its Approved Trust List (or your organisation has not installed the platform trust anchor). It does not mean the electronic signature is invalid under ESIGN, UETA, or eIDAS simple electronic signature rules. Viewer trust is not the same as legal effect.

What this seal is
