***

#### Certificate Store option has been removed <a href="#certificate-store-option-has-been-removed" id="certificate-store-option-has-been-removed"></a>

**What breaks?**

The Certificate option shows a Certificate Source property, with File and Store options. The Store option lets you select a certificate from the Windows certificate store. The Store option will no longer be available.

Any solution using the Store option for Certificate Source will stop working after upgrading to this version of the plugin.

**Why?**

The PDF plugin has been changed from a Windows-specific plugin to a platform-independent plugin. The Certificate Store is only supported on Windows and will not work in Linux containers. Support for it was therefore removed from the PDF plugin.

**How to fix it**

Change all functions using the Store option to use the File option instead. Only the path and password properties associated with the File option will be available if you select the Certificate option in the AuthenticationType property.
