I am very new to BlueBeam, I have managed to insert my Professional engineer stamp, I need to insert the date and signature on the stamp, meaning to layover the date and signature on the stamp in a certain area, and all should be visible.
Welcome to Bluebeam.
What you're going to need to do is learn how to make a dynamic stamp. There are videos and other tutorials on the subject, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
The stamp will have a small amount of JavaScript in it, which will allow you to place those variables.
Good luck
Thank you Doug!
You can make the stamp without using JavaScript by using Dynamic Fill. Just add a text box to the stamp and choose "Date" from the "Dynamic" dropdown. See the example below.
Note: The date shown will be the date the stamp is applied, and it can't be changed.
Hope this helps.
Another thing to remember when stamping your engineer's seal/stamp onto PDF's is to double check what your regulatory body allows in regards to signing/stamping digital documents. For instance both APEGA & EGBC seem to recommend utilizing Notarius for their digital stamps:APEGA Digital SignaturesNotarius link for APEGA If you look under PRactice Advisor FAQ on the EGBC site (Specifically the 2nd point on sealing documents) reads:
"No, a scanned image of your seal, signature, and date, cannot be applied. However, the image of the seal can be scanned and applied to a document, which is then printed, signed, and dated. The legal requirement is that the signature is live.
For more information on sealing requirements please read the Quality Management Guides."
https://www.egbc.ca/registrants/practice-resources/practice-advice-program/practice-advisor-faqs I believe that you can still utilize Bluebeam for this - the signing registrant for our company manages it so if there's any confusion I can reach out to inquire further details regarding how they have it setup.
Just a FYI @David Kozuchar - were you aware that Bluebeam Stapler removes the digital signature from previously signed documents from Notarius / Consign-O?

As part of preliminary estimating for roadway projects I have created a custom toolbox for area, length and count items. I can change the color.

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Bluebeam from Version 20.3 and it is a disaster. There are 2 major problems that occur that have essentially eliminated the way that I typically do estimates. The recent tools button now records the same tool over and over again every time I use it. So if I use a polylength tool…
When using Bluebeam I find times when I need multiple pages locked together in one view for measurement purposes or to layout something which spans multiple pages, there must be a more intelligent method which Bluebeam can offer then what I have done which is pasting screen shots of other pages onto one page then manually…
