Process

1. All PDFs are uploaded to BIM360

2. Baker Barrios will download all relevant PDFs from BIM 360. They will download into a single ZIP file.

3. Extract the ZIP to a folder

4. Combine all individual PDFs into a single multipage PDF book.

5. Be sure to review single multipage PDF book AHJ required naming standards as well as sheet naming requirements.

6. Adding the Signature Fields to all sheets

Creating the signature fields in Bluebeam

• From the Menu bar, go to Tools > Form > Digital Signature .

• Click and drag the first signature field.

• After adding the first Digital Signature field go to Edit > Copy > Select the signature field.

• Paste on each sheet, Edit > Paste in Place, or Press CTRL+SHIFT+V.

• Once all Digital Signature fields are placed manually. Bluebeam support (5/14/2020) says there is not a better way to do this.

7. Now that the fields have been created, BBA AOR can sign the architecture sheets.

Signing the document

• Click the Signature field that you need to sign.

• Choose the Digital ID you want to use and type in the password if needed.

• In the Signature Type section, check Document Certification.

• Under Permitted changes after certifying, choose "Fill in forms and digital signatures" from the list.

• Fill in the options, and edit the appearance of the signature as needed.

• Click OK.

8. After the AOR has signed the architecture sheets, you will need to save the document. You can now send the document to the other signees (consultants), who will follow the instructions for signing the document above in instruction bullet point 7.

9. After each EOR has signed only their sheets send it back the Baker Barrios contact to send to the next EOR.

10. After all signing is complete the Baker Barrios contact can reference BBA Tech private page "Permitting" for additional instructions on submitting electronically to the AHJ.
