thanks for the relies. I suspected as much. this seems like it would be an easy feature to add. we can go the PDF route but signing and stamping multi pages PDF documents isn't any better, or any less time consuming, than the old fashioned stamp and ink, aside from ease of electronic transfer.

If you do go the PDF route, you can add an image of your architect stamp next to your digital e-signature and I would think that using Acrobat's 'Stamp' tool should be quicker than hand-stamp & signing.

Here's some additional info & links:

Use Digital Signatures Like Stamps

When you create a digital signature (Acrobat Insider #7), you can choose any image file to use as a graphic to be placed along with the official digital signature information. You might use a company logo, an image of your hand-signed signature, or a reduced-size image of your professional registration stamp, for instance.

Much of the same system information that’s used by dynamic stamps, such as date and time, will be automatically placed alongside the graphic to represent your digital signature. You can then add this signature to an Adobe PDF document in much the same way you would insert a stamp. If you have several digital signatures for different purposes, you might use your hand signature image for personal business and your registration stamp image for digitally signing documents in your official capacity as a licensed professional.

^ The same applies to Bluebeam Revu CAD/Extreme (recently bought out by Nemetschek btw) and Bluebeam is more geared towards AEC use than Acrobat which seems to focus more on Office use now.

Another advantage is that Bluebeam also supports 3D PDF read and create from U3D and other files without having to buy a 3rd party app as you would need to with Acrobat.

Drat, sorry, forgot Bluebeam is Windows only at the moment.

Maybe they'll introduce a Mac version now that Nemetschek bought them, assuming Nemetschek will want to be cross-platform as much as possible for use with Vectorworks and Cinema4D.

Allplan seems to be windows only, so no guarantee.

For those on Macs I hope they'll introduce a Mac version, as it is a nice PDF program for AEC use.
