o Require certificate revocation checking to succeed whenever
possible during signature verification: Specify whether or not to
check the revocation status of certificates while verifying
signatures.
o Use expired timestamps: Uses the secure time provided by the
document timestamp or the timestamp embedded in the
signature, even if the timestamp’s certificate has expired. The
option is selected by default. With the option unselected, the time
provided by the expired timestamps will be discarded and the
verification time will be the time at which signature was applied or
the current time in the system based on your setting on
Verification Time.
o Ignore document validation information: Specify whether to
ignore the related certificate revocation information embedded in
the document when validating signatures.
▪ Verification Time
Verify Signature Using: You can check the digital signature for validity

the timestamp embedded in the signature, or the current time in your
system.

verification information to the signed PDF. Ask when verification

documents. Checking these options may compromise security. Please
make sure that you trust all the root certificates before enabling these
features.
