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?
Hello, Is it possible to have Bluebeam Studio automatically sync all studio files to a local server in lieu of Bluebeam's cloud servers? My office is exploring the idea of getting all of my project observers an iPad with cellular data so that they can have Bluebeam Studio (or rather Bluebeam Cloud) at all times. Should…

Our IT department has been slowly upgrading our users to Windows 11. A few of our users have been experiencing really bad lag with creating, moving, modifying markups. This happens both in Session and with locally saved files. It seems to only be happening to our users with virtual/cloud computers. Specifically, we use…
What is up with the invisible text while editing a markup? This has been a recurring and persistent phenomenon that has remained through several updates of the BB subscription, over perhaps the last year. I create a markup with text, I double-click to edit said text and it becomes INVISIBLE (but is still there). I click…
Hi All, I accidentally added a layer at the end of the long list of existing layers. Has anyone found a way to reorder the layer list? I would also like to hide one of the layers I created by default and open it only when I need it. Is this possible? Thank you ahead, Ian
Here is my issue folks - clicking on a web link in a document does not open in the default browser, but in one of my other installed browsers. This behavior is experienced only with Bluebeam and one Trimble software, the rest of my installed applications obey my default browser setting. Has anyone encountered such issue…
I have recently upgraded to Revu 21 but the markup tools are greyed out so i am unable to use them. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be?
I used to know I two-key keyboard shortcut to re-size a cloud mark-up to more closely fit the text block it surrounds. I have forgotten it and can't find any information on it online. Can anyone help? Thanks
I'm trying to create a form that requires both signatures and initials. However, I can't seem to find a way to format the field for just initials. Is there a better way to do this other than using a text box?
