Digital signatures created within Revu are called “ self-signed” and will require you to provide digital certificates to parties receiving your documents in order for them to be validated.

Digital IDs can be purchased from a third-party certificate authority, but Revu also allows for the creation of a digital ID within the program. In order to digitally sign a document, you first need a Digital ID. These examples are taken using the 64x Bluebeam Revu 2019 eXtreme edition, but these functionalities are available within all versions of Revu. This process consists of four steps: creating a digital ID, exporting a digital ID certificate, creating a digital signature appearance, and creating a signature field. This article will outline the process of creating a digital signature and signing a document in Bluebeam Revu 2019. Digital signatures are a perfect fit for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry because they reduce paper waste, decrease overhead costs, and shorten project timelines.īluebeam Revu 2019 supports the addition of digital signatures on PDFs, allowing users to create a signature, sign, and certify documents directly from the application. They act as an equivalent to a stamped seal that provides assurance that the document has not been altered since creation.

Digital signatures are used to validate the authenticity and integrity of digital documents.
