Electronic PE stamps
(OP)
Electronic PE Stamp - Exactly how is this done. I know you can get electronic versions from rubber stamp companies, but PE boards also want these to be secure when transmitted. So assuming you have the image or make it and then put it on an Autocad drawing, what is the process to make the transmitted PDF drawing with PE stamp secure and compliant.
I need to comply with NJ and NY.

There are two parts. There is a digital signature (the part you see) and an electronic certificate (that can be verified online and validates the seal and signature as your work).
Scan a copy of your signature
Remove the white background (get paint.net or photoshop)
vectorize the remaining elements (I found an online place that will do this.)
Also do this with your seal, also get a vectorized version without a white back ground. The process may be different if you have a .dwg version of your stamp.
If you do that right your stamp and your signature wont be blurry.
Create or purchase a digital certificate, it should have a password. You can do this in Bluebeam or buy it from a separate certificate store. I have to purchase mine from the not-for-profit place or it isn't recognized as a legal document. Check your licencing boards rules.
Make sure your title block has a common place to stamp and seal.
Get Bluebeam pdf software - the extreme version. Watch the video to batch stamp and seal drawings.
Save time and money.

Can't stop people who have their mind set on doing evil.
With today's technology, it wouldn't be hard for someone to make their own copy of an electronic seal
