Viewing the Logs 

Use

All of the components of Adobe document services work together and record events to the logs, including any service errors. Security-related messages are logged in the security.log file of the J2EE Engine. This log file contains information on the user and the actions he performed like certifying or signing a form and the used credentials. An easy way to find the appropriate information is to search for the location com.adobe.AdobeDocumentServices. This filters out entries that match the following pattern:

 

Date, time: User: <name>  ……..action that was performed ……..with credential alias <alias>

Wed Jul 20 11:07:19 CEST 2005 User: SCHMIDT successfully signed a PDF from <InputPDF> Source: Stream Name: PDF with credential alias cert_credential
