Install Adobe Root CA (BlueBeam Compatibility)

Mar 5, 2025

Introduction

Adobe CDS certificates chain back to the Adobe Root CA which is not present in the Microsoft Windows trust store. BlueBeam Revu looks to the Windows trust store for valid certificate chains. If you wish to use the Adobe CDS certificate with BlueBeam Revu, you will need to manually install the Adobe Root CA to your Windows certificate store.
