I am using openssl to generate pk12 user certs to be used for signing Adobe 
Acrobat PDF documents.  In order to get Acrobat to validate the signature I had 
to add our CA cert to the trust in my installation of the Acrobat program.  
When doing so, the Acrobat program expects a .cer file.  I used the following 
command to convert our CA PEM file to a CER (actually DER) file:

openssl x509 -in cacert.pem -inform PEM -out cakey.der -outform DER

I then renamed the cakey.der to cakey.cer and added it to Acrobats trust just 
fine.  However, I want to make sure that it is OK to freely distribute the 
cakey.cer file to all of the users that need to ad our CA to their Acrobat 
trust chain ??

Thanks,
