We don’t need a digital ID for most of the work you do in PDFs. For example, we don’t need a digital ID to create PDF, comment on them or edit them. But we need a digital ID to sign a document or encrypt PDFs through a certificate.

If you are not using a third-party digital ID, you can create your own in Adobe Acrobat Professional. Now follow the article using Adobe Acrobat Professional to create digital ID.

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for Mac. Reference 65195199. Experience the full power of next-generation Acrobat Dynamic PDF. Use Adobe Acrobat X Pro software to deliver high-impact communications that combine audio, video, interactive media, and a wide variety of file types into a polished, professional. PDFelement for macOS 10.15. One of the more comprehensive tools you will find on.

Way 1: Create digital ID in Adobe Acrobat Preferences

Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macos Catalina

1. In Adobe Acrobat XI Professional, click on menu Edit – Preferences.

2. Choose Signatures in the left categories, and click “More” after Identities & Trusted Certificates.

3. In Digital ID and Trusted Certificate Settings window, you can see “Add ID” icon.

4. Click “Add ID” and pops up Add Digital ID window. Choose A new digital ID I want to create now. Click Next.

5. Choose a location where you want to store your self-signed digital ID. Click Next.

6. Type a Name and Email Address at least for digital ID and set other information. For example, choose what you want the digital ID used for, Digital Signatures or Data Encryption or both. Click Next.

7. Confirm or enter a file location for new digital ID file. Then set a password for digital ID file, which will be needed when you want to use the digital ID to sign or decrypt documents.

You should make a backup of the file location so that you can copy this file for backup or other purposes. Click Finish.

Then in the Digital ID and Trusted Certificates window, you can see the new digital ID. And in the Usage Options, you can set what the digital ID can be used for, Use for Signing, Use for Certifying, Use for Encryption etc.

Way 2: Create New Digital ID when Encrypt PDF with Certificate

Digital ID is necessary when we want to encrypt PDF through certificate. Now see the detailed process to create digital ID when you want to encrypt PDF with certificate.

1. Open PDF document. And click Tools – Protection – Encrypt. Choose “Encrypt with Certificate” in drop-down list.

2. If you get a prompting message, click Yes and enter Certificate Security Settings.

3. Check “Encrypt all document contents” under “Select Document Components to Encrypt”. And choose an Encryption Algorithm. Click Next.

4. In pop-up window, you can see there is an option Add Digital ID under ID list. Click it.

5. Add Digital ID window appears, choose A new digital ID I want to create now. Click Next to go on with wizard like in the Way 1.

This way is usually used when you want to encrypt PDF document with certificate but there is no digital ID available.

Note

The AcroCleaner is not an uninstaller and should NOT be used as such. Adobe provides the utility as a least resort to repair machines after a failed or partial uninstall. Always uninstall DC products via standard, supported methods.

The Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool removes a standalone installation of Reader or Acrobat, including any leftover preferences and settings remaining after a standard program uninstall.

While most installs, uninstalls, and updates operations happen without incident, there are cases where a user may not be able to complete such tasks due to some registry or file conflict on the machine. This is particularly problematic when permissions set on plist entries or files prevent the successful installation of new installs and/or updates. The cleaner tool fixes such issues by cleaning up corrupted installations, removing or fixing corrupted files, removing or changing permissions registry entries, etc.

Note the following:

  • The tool provides options for removing problematic Acrobat items only while leaving Reader untouched and vice versa.

  • The tool cannot be used with any Creative Cloud products or Acrobat delivered with CS products. It can only be used for standalone versions of Acrobat and Reader.

  • In some scenarios, the cleaner tool for Windows might affect some preferences common between Acrobat and Reader. Therefore, when both Acrobat and Reader products are installed on machine, Adobe recommends the remaining installed product be repaired after running the cleaner Tool.

Downloads¶

By downloading the software listed below, I acknowledge that I have read and agreed to the terms of the Adobe PDF Test Toolkit License, the Adobe.com Terms of Use and the Adobe Online Privacy Policy.

The following is available for Acrobat and Reader (the Cleaner works with both apps):

  • Feb 9, 2021: 64-bit installer, all tracks. NOTE: Because Acrobat and Reader are delivered via a single installer for the 64-bit release, the Cleaner user interface only shows the ‘Acrobat’ string even when being used with Reader.

User interface usage¶

  1. Verify you have run the product uninstaller. The Cleaner tool is NOT an uninstaller.

  2. Double click the cleaner exe file.

  3. Verify you want to continue, and choose Next.

  4. Accept the EULA and choose Next.

  5. Choose the standalone product to clean and choose Next.

Known issues¶

  • If you have both Acrobat and Reader installed, removing the product that is the default PDF viewer can result in the other product failing to become the new default PDF viewer. When this problem occurs, run Repair on the remaining product and reboot the machine to make the remaining product the default PDF handler.

  • For Acrobat Pro Extended 9.x, the tool leaves the Acrobat entry in Add Remove Programs. To manually remove this entry, run an uninstallation from the ARP entry or manually remove the following registry entries:

    • Windows 32 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>

    • Windows 64 Bit OS: HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall<Product-Code>

    • The product code is language specific. For example, for EFG it would be {AC76BA86-1033-F400-7761-000000000004}

  • The Cleaner Tool removes the Reader 9.x or Acrobat 9.x installation even if the user chooses Cancel at the Files in Use dialog during uninstallation. The File in Use dialog appears when you try to uninstall a currently running product.

FAQ¶

During execution, a log file is created at:

  • Windows XP: C:Documents and Settings[USERNAME]Local SettingsTempRaftLogsAdbeArCleaner.log

  • Mac: ~/Library/Logs/Adobe/AcroCleanerTool.log

If the cleaner tool executes the MSI uninstaller as part of the cleanup process, then an additional log file named Msi[RANDOM_NUMBER].tmp.log is created in the above location.

  • Windows: The tool can be used on any system that is supported by product versions 9.x and 10.x.

  • Mac: The tool can be used from OS X 10.9 and onward.
