Hi
I have generated a client certificate with easy-rsa. I converted this into the pfx format with openssl and read it into the Windows certificate store. It appears that the certificate can be used for digital signatures and client access. Unfortunately, I cannot sign the certificate in Acrobat Reader. I don't get an error message.
Do any of you have any experience in this area?

Your certificate only have Client authentication only it cant be use for sign pdf file and that all you can do is OpenVPN client connecting .
If you want to sign some document , The certificate should have Code Signing and Time Stamping that is minimum requirement , You need to check certificate properties you will find out what this certificate can do and cant do on certain thing.
