Automatic Foxit Approved Trust Lists and European Union
Trusted Lists updates
The certificates in Foxit Approved Trust Lists (FATL) and European Union Trusted Lists
(EUTL) are the trusted root certificates that are stored in a Foxit server and have been
verified by Foxit and other authorities. You can enable the application to automatically
check and download new or updated root certificates in FATL or EUTL from the server
to local trusted certificate list. Any certificate-based signature created with the
certificate in FATL or EUTL is trusted when the signed document is opened in Foxit PDF
Editor.
To enable the automatic updates from FATL or EUTL, do the following:
1. Click File > Preferences > Trust Manager.
2. In the Automatic Foxit Approved Trust List updates group and the Automatic
European Union Trusted Lists (EUTL) updates group, you can find the following
options:
• Load trusted certificates from Foxit FATL/EUTL server: This option is
selected by default and allows Foxit PDF Editor to automatically download
new or updated root certificates in FATL or EUTL from the server to the local
trusted certificate list under any of the following circumstances:
➢ Every 28 days.
➢ When you open a signed PDF and the signature’s certificate has never
been checked for update before.
➢ When you open a signed PDF and the signature’s certificate was checked
for update more than 28 days ago.
• Ask before updating: Select it and you will be prompted if any new or
updated root certificate is available for download and install.
• Update now: Click it to download and install from the latest FATL or EUTL
immediately.
3. When the installing process completes, a message box will pop up to tell you the
update is successful.
Note: A connection to the Internet is required for the update.
