thanks so much I now know what .pfx file is all about. i've followed all the steps to decrypt the .pfx key. according to the second link that give detail steps of decrypting and installing the certificate/private key, the post end up by stating installing the crt/key in Apache.

What I have with the file is a pdf file that is protected. Pls how do i open the pdf file with all this crt/key I got from the .pfx file.
