🔐 Digital Signature Root Certificates Installation

Ensure that all signed PDF documents from Forensic OSINT display as trusted in Adobe Reader and other PDF viewers by installing our Root and Intermediate Certificates.

Our digital signatures are used to prove that a PDF report has not been changed since it was generated. To allow Adobe Reader to visually confirm this — and remove warnings about unrecognized signatures — the root certificates must be installed on your system.

📘 Legal professionals and expert witnesses:
Whether you're a lawyer presenting evidence in court or an investigator testifying as an expert, it's important to understand how our digital signature system supports chain of custody and evidentiary integrity.
