* When reading in a trusted root certificate via automatic updating
functions, etc., applying this updated software will automatically
remove DigiNotar's root certificate (DigiNotar Qualified CA) from
the list of trusted root certificates in Adobe Reader X (10.x) and
Acrobat X (10.x). A trusted root certificate automatic updating
function is planned for Adobe Reader 9.x and Acrobat 9.x, but until
this function is added, list removal must be performed manually.
