I've googled the cr@p out of this subject but nothing I try works. My VeriSign digital ID expires next November and it shows up in the certificate manager under the Personal, Intermediate and Trusted Root stores. It works fine for signing PDF's, and it did work fine for signing dwg's in Acad 2004. But with 2013, it says "No valid digital ID is available on your system". How are people getting this to work? (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit)
TIA

I suspect nobody is digitally signing cad files any more. Guess I won't either. PDF's only from now on. Works for me 🙂
I'd love to be able to do this with CAD files, but I've never been able to figure it out either. Everything I've found is very vague about what type of digital ID you need. I self-sign PDFs for now, but it would be nice to sign with something verifiable. For your PDFs, do you use the Verisign ID that is meant for email, or something else?
The trouble with Googling something like this is that Google sometimes works TOO well...

My ID is a "VeriSign Class 1 Individual Subscriber CA - G3" It costs $19.95 a year, and is linked to my email address. I use it with PDFCreator or PDFMachine to sign PDF's, and it works with Outlook to sign emails. It worked great with Acad2004. Maybe I should keep 2004 loaded on a spare PC just in case..... :-O
