Trace and Log Files
Use
Any errors and fatal messages are logged by Adobe document services in:
● server.log
● security.log
● database.log
Adobe document services logs security-related messages in the security.log file of the AS Java. This log file contains information on the user and the actions he performed like certifiying 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
Any trace log entries for Adobe document services are logged in defaultTrace.trc.
If you activate the trace for Adobe documents services, all business data to be printed out or displayed in a PDF, will be recorded as Base 64-encoded data in the trace file. To avoid the storage of productive or security-related data, do not activate the trace.
