Time Stamp Server: Integration Guide for Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader 3
Chapter 1: Introduction
Adobe Acrobat Pro permits users to create, control, and secure Portable Document Format (PDF)
documents. It also permits users to collectively review and edit documents, and convert
documents from other formats to PDF.
You can integrate Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with a Thales Time Stamp Server
(referred to in this guide as TSS) to permit the use of time stamping to seal documents.
The TSS is a time stamp appliance. It uses the industry-standard IETF RFC 3161 protocol to
provide time stamps. The TSS also provides a secure auditable trail of time for the purposes of
non-repudiation. Adobe Acrobat Pro natively supports the RFC3161 time stamp service provided
by the TSS. In this way, you can time stamp a PDF document to validate that document’s
authenticity at the time it was time stamped.
• Ability to create PDF documents from within other applications (for example, the Microsoft
Office suite).

Requirements
This document explains how to set up and configure Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader to
integrate with a TSS. The instructions in this document have been thoroughly tested and provide
a straightforward integration process. There may be other untested ways to achieve
interoperability.
The integration between TSS and Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader has been successfully
tested in the following configurations:
Windows Server operating Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader Thales TSS version
system version version
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 X 5.10
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 9.0 5.10
Windows Server 2003 9.0 5.0
Windows Server 2000 9.0 5.0
This document may not cover every step in the process of setting up all the software. It assumes
that:
• You have read your TSS documentation and have installed the TSS product.
• You are familiar with the Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader documentation and have
installed Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.
Additional documentation produced to support your Thales product can be found in the
document directory of the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM for that product.
For information about OS support, contact your Adobe sales representative or Thales Support.
For more information about contacting Thales, see Addresses at the end of this guide.
Requirements
Before setting up the time stamping functionality, ensure that:
• The TSS appliance is installed, operational, and ready for time stamping.
• You have the root CA certificate used by the TSS stored on the computer on which Adobe
Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader is installed.
• There is a working network connection between the TSS appliance and the computer on
which Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader is installed.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader
documentation and Thales TSS documentation.
