I put a certificate on a document and need to remove it.
It tells me You are not Authorized to change the security settings of this document.
I put the Certificate on with this PC and I have the certificate.
Any idea how to get adobe to recognize the certificate installed on my PC?
Acrobat X is what I have installed.

Deleting a signature is not the same thing as changing the security settings. If you are talking about a signature, you can just delete it if you have the certificate used to sign. You can't delete a Certifying signature until all following signing signatures have been deleted.

When you added the certificate security did you allow changing the document for your certificate?

If you have multiple certificates on your PC, and one of them (not the one you used to set security) is listed as a recipient certificate, it is possible that Acrobat opened the document using the recipient certificate. There is no way to control this, other than making all the recipient certificates unavailable when you open the file. If the file is opened with the owner certificate, you should be able to change the security settings.
