showing signature details ( Figure 10.12 ).
x Click the Certified Document icon to open a dialog box describing the status of the document, security
features, and access buttons to click for more legal and signature information.
x Choose View > Navigation Tabs > Signatures to open the Signatures pane and then click (+) to the left
of the signature listing to read details about the certifying signature.
