Error creating AIR file: Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.

Hi, My boss got a certificate from Thawte, and I'm getting this error message when building my AIR app.
Error creating AIR file: Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.
I'm on windows XP.

To manage your code signing certificate, please see
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/signing_air_applications_print.html
The error you are seeing is typically caused by exporting a cert without the trust chain. On Windows, in IE, you can manage your keystore by going to
Internet Options > Content > Certificates
When you export the certificate needed for signing your app, be sure to check “Include all certificates in the certificate path, if possible”.

Adobe Air Apps for OS X: Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer. // Code Signing on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Hi,
I created several OS X Apps using Adobe Air. That worked quite well before. Now I have do update my OS X Apps - therefore I also needed update my certificates. [ I'm using Flash CC 2014 on OS X Yosemite 10.10 ]. But whatever I do it doesn’t work anymore. I always get this Message saying:
Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.
I googled a lot and the only "guide" I found is this post (from April 2013) about code singing - http://scottgaertner.com/code_signing/
I’m not used to deal with this kind of stuff (CA etc.) - so it's quite confusing to me.
Would anybody please be so kind and tell me what I have to do?
Is there any instruction from Adobe? (I didn't find one yet)
A step by step instruction for absolute dummies would be great!
Best regards and thank you in advance
Jan

Hi Mukesh,
I installed the Flash CC 2014 update and added some Certificates from Apple to my Keychain. Now EVERYTHING works fine again!! :-)
Thank you very much for the Update! :-) Good job!
Best regards

Code signing cert error using Digicert - Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer

Steps to fix this error on code signing adobe air using .p12 cert from Digicert - Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer
a. Open Firefox and browse to https://www.digicert.com/digicert-root-certificates.htm
b. On the middle of the page, download -
DigiCert Assured ID Code Signing CA-1
Valid until: 10/Feb/2026
Serial #: 07:F4:73:6F:AF:EF:40:8A:1F:66:40:F2:65:D1:0A:C1
Thumbprint: B170A10819BEA936905D719E643399783E1F4567
Download
c. Install the cert in Firefox
d. Once done, export again the code signing cert from digicert, through (click Firefox -> Preferences -> View Certificates -> HIghlight the digicert code signing cert -> click Backup)
e. Done, the newly exported file should now have the valid certificate chain and that should fix the error "Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer"
Even though this is from Digicert, this should also work for other Certificate Authority providers assuming you download your provider's root cert for code signing.

Reigner S. Yrastorza

Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer

Updating an AIR application after a few years and needed a new signing certificate which I purchased from Comodo. Imported it successfully into Keychain Access and exported it as a pfx file. When I identified this certificate to Flash Builder it went all the way through the build process and then came up with the error "Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer".
I can see there was a discussion on this matter in October 2011 but this did not seem to answer my question as that guy was trying to use an Apple Dev Centre key rather than paying for one like I did.
TIA
David

In Keychain Access, command-click your Class 2/3 certificate, the CA's intermediate certificate, and the CA's root certificate before hitting export.

PSE 10 "help" - error message re Adobe Air

I am unable to access the PSE help within PSE 10. Each time I get an error message indicating that the problem relates to Adobe Air and that I should re-install it (Adobe Air). I have tried re-installing both Adobe Air and PSE10 but the problem persists - any suggestions
Thanks Dave
PS OS Windows 7 prof (64bit)

A clean re-install should have solved it.
I'd do these steps:
Close PSE.
Use Task Manager's "Processes" tab to kill any running Adobe or PhotoshopElements processes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall Adobe AIR.
Reboot.
Get the latest version of AIR from here:
http://get.adobe.com/air/
Install AIR.

Unable to build valid certificate chain

Hi,
I am trying to sign my AIR application using the Code Signing Certificate I got from Apple (iPhone Dev). I have Apple's Root Certificate and my certificate. I installed both and then exported my certificate as pkcs12 (.p12 file) using many methods like Windows Certificate Manager and Firefox. I also used Keychain Access on my Mac. However, when I try to sign, I get the following error:
Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer.
Some help would be great. Thanks.

Ok, I am making progress here.
I signed on to a fresh mac with an empty keychain. I imported AppleWWDRCA and then developer_identity. Now it shows that the certificate is valid. Now I deleted the certificate and I imported cert.p12 file that I had made. Now the certificate re-appeared in keychain along with a private key. I had to put a password set by me earlier when I made the p12 file.
The certificate is displayed under my private key. So it means that the p12 file has the private key and the certificate.
Now the only thing is that AIR gives me the error stating that it cannot build a certificate chain, which means there's no Root CA in the p12 file, or WWDRCA for that matter. From what I understand, these 2 certs need to be put inside the p12 file.
On second note, Apple also provides a distribution cert besides the developer cert. But when I try to export the distribution cert, it asks for a password that I don't know (not got one for that). But I still think that I need to use the developer cert. nd not the distribution cert. by Apple.
The question again boils down to putting the Apple Root CA inside the p12 in order for AIR SDK to build the chain.

Getting more detailed error messages from Adobe Acrobat

Hi
Is there a way to get more detailed error messages from Adobe Acrobat reader when he detecs an error in a PDF file?
My program generates PDF files. There is one that throws an error in Acrobat while GhostScript and Google Chromes PDF Reader display it correctly.
I wonder where the error is, but the error message is just "expected dictionary", when I hold CTRL and press "OK".
GhostScript usually gives useful error messages, but it has no error this time.

More specifically, Acrobat Pro!

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

I am trying to download an epub book from the library, which I have been doing for almost a year. Now I am being asked for my adobe id, which I enter and I get an error message stating Adobe Activation Request Error:2004.. What's this ?

I downloaded Blue Fire Reader and it requested an adobe id. I clicked on the link that was in the error message stated http//adeactivateadobe.com. Found out that if the date and time on my Ipad is wrong that it won't let me download a book. I was off 5 hours. I reset my clock settings and adobe id let me download a book from the library. I am back to using Overdrive and adobe again on my ipad.
Thank you.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Error message from Adobe Reader. cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly. Print looks like gibberish

Trying to view/print PDF documents from website. Print looks like gibberish and is unreadable. Problem is with the embedded fonts. Error message from Adobe says cannot extract the embedded font 'LICCMC+MyriadPro-Light'. some characters may not display or print correctly.

Try Adobe support, that's not a Firefox support issue. <br />
