- E-mail the data to someone. If you select this option, the Personal X.509 Certification File exported from your selected Digital ID will be transferred to your e-mail client. The file contains a copy of a certificate that you can use to verify signatures from and encrypt documents for the selected Digital ID.
- Save the data to a file. If you select this option, the Certificate will be saved to a file.

Note: The exported Certificates are usually used to verify private signatures and encrypt documents for the person who has the corresponding private key (a digital ID file). A PDF document secured with a Certificate can only be handled by the person who has the corresponding private key.
