LEGALATTESTATIONS

TYPE CLIKE OPTIONAL

Additional information about the certification. As the user who is creating the form, you are responsible for making it secure. Document functions such as scripting, which can change the appearance of a form when edited, can make the form non-secure. Adobe Reader notifies the user about these functions in a warning. If you still want to certify a form of this type, you can provide the user with additional information in a comment about the warning. For example, you can state that the scripting in the form is trustworthy.
