Adobe Experience Manager Forms: Reader Extensions Update Certificate updates are required to continue using Reader Extensions (expiring 2023):
- Adobe leverages a PKI (public key infrastructure) to issue digital certificates for use in licensing and feature enablement. Certificates for existing Reader Extensions functionality are scheduled to expire on Jan 7, 2023.
- Once the certificate expires, features dependent on the certificates no longer work. Customers should update as soon as possible.
- To keep the Reader Extended documents working, customers would need to:
- Import new certificates to their environment
- Reapply usage rights with new certificates to already reader-extended documents
- Redistribute updated copies of documents to users
- Customers may obtain new certificates from Adobe Licensing Website.
The official License Update Event (LUE) is planned for Nov 8th, 2021, and all qualifying customers will receive an automated system notification for download availability.

Adobe Use Case
See how Adobe leverages AEM Assets, Creative Cloud, and Workfront to put content at the center of everything
As organizations wade deeper into the digital age, the ability to put creative content into motion is at the center of success. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the marketing arena, where delivering the right message at the right time is critical.
It’s a concept that’s at the core of Adobe’s corporate marketing philosophy. With hundreds of thousands of assets on hand—photos, logos, banners, videos and much more—finding the right item and managing complex projects is a challenge. The rapid growth in demand for content isn’t making things any easier. From 2020 to 2021 alone, Adobe creative assets grew by 300%.
As a result, Adobe has tapped Adobe Experience Manager Assets and Adobe Workfront to construct a world-class corporate marketing content hub and brand repository. Twelve global teams within the company—as well as 150 agencies, vendors, and partners outside Adobe—rely on these assets to create and manage campaigns but also to produce corporate presentations and other materials.
With powerful search features and embedded workflows, the content hub delivers an advanced digital framework. “It’s the de facto place where content lives. Asset downloading and uploading is nearly effortless,” says Austin Haycock, Senior Studio Manager at Adobe.
