Aren't we only submitting stamped and signed documents to AHJ's? I think that would help limit security issues. When I worked for an engineer, they only stamped and signed documents submitted for permit and were pretty adamant about it. Of course, that was before cad really became the norm and we were using sticky-back for standard details. I've become accustomed to Bluebeam and really like it for coordination, some submission work so far, and just not having so much paper to deal with. I look forward to working this way much more. I just wish I could crack that adobe requirement with NFPA standards. TD
The digital stamp itself cannot be copied out of the file, it can't even be selected at times, and you have the option of viewing the original. There are some pretty in depth security measures available (no printing, no deletion of individual sheets, no commenting, password protection,). It could become a screen shot then transferred but that would be no different than scanning a physical print. I haven't gotten into it fully, but have gotten a couple PDF's that had these measures in place. http://www.adobe.com/security/pdfs/acrobat_livecycle_security_wp.pdf In your free time.... Locks are for honest people...as I was once told. Sounds like it could be easy for the unscrupulous contractor to lift a stamp. What is there for security?
