Hello there,
We started using AcrobatPro X for making, securing and signing PDF files of our test reports. The validity of these reports is not limited in time.
So we include this revocation information at time of signing. We use our Belgian eID-cards and place 2 signatures.
Recently I've noticed that when I use XI Pro (Win7, 64-bit) to sign the PDF (it does not matter is the file is made in X Pro or XI Pro) the size increased to 10MB.
When I sign the same file with X Pro (Vista, 32-bit) the file size only increases to 2MB ! (Here the revocation info was also included.)
(I am still looking into whether we need the LTV (or if OCSP can be used), so I did a test on XI Pro where I did not include revocation information, with the result: 4MB.)
The 10Mb file size is a problem for us as our test reports must be able to be send by e-mail.
How can the increase in file size (when signing with including the revocation information) between X and XI be explained?
How can this issue be resolved?
