You've already answered your own question....

The alternative is simply for you to distribute your certificate to users who 
can then install it into their certificate store and recognize you.

Subject: [iText-questions] digitally signed pdf and Acrobat

Following the instructions on this page: 
http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/howtosign.html#signextdicattrib, I am able to 
successfully digitally sign a PDF.  That's awesome, but when I open the PDF in 
Acrobat it tells me that "The validity of the document certification is 
UNKNOWN.  The author could not be verified."

The question then is, what kind of certificate do I need to use in order for 
Acrobat to verify the signature?  I'm currently using a certificate from 
GoDaddy, but I'm guessing that I'll need to use a certificate issued by one of 
Adobe's CDS's listed here: http://www.adobe.com/security/partners_cds.html.

Any help, or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  
Keep up the good work with iText.  Thanks.

Evan
