Stamps/ Sign and Seal In Revu | December 7, 2021

so yesterday we had a call and i'll talk about this later all right good morning everybody we're now live streaming out there on youtube and for everybody who's joining us on zoom good morning i'm looking at the attendee list and i see some new names and i see some familiar names i love it welcome everybody thank you for coming to morning coffee review i'm jason artley joined here with michael atrave how you doing buddy i'm doing good we are going to kick off today talking about stamps and also um we didn't throw them there but the batch sign and seal i think was one of the topics as well let's talk a little bit about ourselves i'm a bluebeam certified instructor as well as mr jason artley and uh bluebeam certified support representatives as well users too right because yeah yeah we are here to talk about all things bluebeam we do have a topic so for all those new folks that are joining us today feel free to ask any questions along the way this time is for you the community um there will be the side chat so if we can't answer it right away the lovely community here always loves to answer questions as well so feel free to use the chat we will answer what we can as we go along but we'll start off with stamps today anything else sad that's about it um we're going to be here for the next hour and this topic that we've chosen certainly isn't going to take a whole hour so by all means whatever questions you have they don't even have to be related to stamps what have you guys been working on what sort of uh things have you run into that might be uh causing a little bit of you know trickiness or whatever what we're happy to dive in and figure out what we can do but today we brought up stamps because it always comes up it's one of those topics that you you overlook because it seems simple but it's really not there's so many different things going on um that we can really harness the power of stamps and and i've gone down the youtube rabbit hole and i've watched some of those videos that have that i've seen out there it's like okay that's cool but why and that's neat but okay cool and then that one okay but what else can we do with it and that's what we're here to explore today yeah dynamics um there are some that you can add javascripting to so if you're well versed in javascripting you're going to create um form buttons for things so like check boxes they have some out of the box that's um i will throw a link up there soon that we can get access to but let's just talk about stamps overall most commonly one for some of us folks my background is structural design and a little architectural design and jason's is civil so for us maybe something that's approved and those are out of the box here so in review under the menu bar at the top you have tools and from tools you then have stamps now stamps can be saved as a markup in the tool chest as well or you can come to the stamps area over here now my stamps is a larger folder set these will always live here um unless if you go down to the bottom which mine is long you can go to change stamp folder so these are all of your stamps that are saved in your stamp folder they are seen as a dot pdf extension that's how review sees them and i will go through and just place my standard approved one and actually you know what probably today we can mess around with the different blend modes so that we can be more well informed because myself and i think jason i was going to ask these questions um what they do in terms of their blend mode when we're going to create them so when you're getting ready to place a stamp you can do one of two things you can either left click and hold and drag it for the sides of the stamp meaning you're scaling it up to whatever size you want it to be or if you just left click and place it so if i go back to that same stamp hit approve left click and just select an area it's going to place it at its scale that you originally created at now that trick is under utilized because what happens when you create a stamp it's going to ask you for the dimensions so why would you want to scale it in every time so that left single left click um is one of the things that i forget all the time but that's the trick to get it to show up at the proper size to fit on a title block or whatever else you're doing yeah because you the usual workflow for folks that are engineers or architects and have a license of some sort to seal and the way to do that would be creating a stamp as your seal with no signature on it and we all know we're required that you have to have a specific size for those stamps well for the sorry the seal so if the seal has a specific size you don't want to have to scale it up it should be two scale when you're placing it on whatever document you have but going back to here when we are adding these let's talk about the different blend modes so currently right now if i place it it's going to be over whatever it's going to be on top of right now let's check the different ones that they have available these will ring true when we go through and create a custom stamp because right now we're just checking this differences of the blend mode so i don't have to recreate however many there are here to see the different one so there's multiply that looks like it's a screen almost right it does but multiply seems like a weird go back to normal maybe we're just going to toggle between normal and yeah look at that it's almost like the screen oh nope the no yeah oh yeah so maybe that's for oh no because screen is still light yeah it kind of like matt said in the chat thanks matt it sent it to the back so can you bring that forward so if you go find that one again oh look at you being sneaky yeah see even with the black it is so uh bring up uh yeah uh order bring the front okay so it does send it to the back but it also screens it that's hmm why would it do that or why would you want this would be the question too why would you want it screen because that makes a pretty good watermark so it would be a watermark on your text item for whatever you're placing this onto yeah okay that would make sense overlay what is that doing it's to the front too okay so it is over on top or it looks like it is i thought i saw yeah you can see it kind of ghosting there yeah see that's really odd and that's what's kind of fun about exploring what some of these blend modes mean because sometimes like oh yeah i just leave it on normal it's good but like what do these all these things mean and they're not logical right as we've seen already okay next one is going to be darken so still goes nope it's still texas still shining through from whatever it is so yeah but it's not transparent it's lighter than it originally was though yep which is interesting which is opposite than darken because i thought it would be so what does lightning do okay maybe that's like the screen let's place a couple yeah like try try one that's got color to it like that booked one that you've got because maybe the color has to do effect there you go david would like to see make a copy so do one normal and then one one not normal or one whatever so this is normal there we go i feel like um this is normal and this is darken but when this goes on top of something so normal and normal right and we'll just play with these different colors so this one was light and i'm leaving it bleed through this one was darken and then lighten omg so whoa this is what i was trying to find so a client sent me this the other day but it wasn't because you can't click by click so ironically i was i haven't had time to find the solution out yet you can somebody sent me something that they were able to click around an item and it changed the background color of the line work to a different color and i hadn't been able to find the solution yet but maybe we have here so this is the lighten mode where it's still having the context but it's overriding the color of the actual lines in the document so when you have the black approved stamp it wasn't quite as visible because it was black so interesting let's go back cause darken nope overlay nope screen screen does the same okay so color dodge um i've owned a couple dodges different colors wait that's different topic okay cars yeah let's see so color dodge almost does the same thing kind of not really okay next one color burn like dodge and burn those are tools i've used in uh photoshop and they're a little bit more apparent i'm surprised by all these different blend modes it almost looks like it's sharpening that line too so let's see no okay hard light so you can't see it over something that's darker it's almost the same right as the original yeah it's pretty hard to tell so like except for this one i'd be curious if you were to print any of these and you know obviously we want to use review to avoid paper as much as we can um but i wonder if it would be that visible here's soft light yeah hard to tell then again i'm overdue for an eye exam so i'm blind so yeah difference oh whoa so it's inverting oh is that what it's doing so if you take your black approved and do difference it'll turn into white yeah it's like uh because this wasn't black the black from out this isn't this right so it's like it's an rgb value probably yeah exclusion didn't change it no difference so like there's got to be a reason for it and uh it's just kind of silly it's a luminosity here changed it to black was that because maybe it was normal and then i did that nope still the same hue you got to be kidding me [Music] i used to know somebody with the last name huey saturation before you were born there was a band called huey lewis in the news they uh they had a couple good songs so saturation is the same thing [Music] as that overriding of that line oh man where did i put the other one okay it's right here i think and last one color i don't see a color but it's doing the same thing oh yeah oh not really but over the other stamps it is yeah that's really odd so there's got to be a reason they included all of these things um you know these all these modes are a bit overkill for a pdf file honestly but um maybe some of these tricks would have been good for our little turkey showdown do a little highlight type of things but i'm definitely going to be using this you um these blend modes do they only exist in stamps have you seen them anywhere else i don't think i've seen them anywhere else no not yet so yeah if we go to stamps and we get ready to create a stamp so we don't like the ones out of the box you can always edit any ones that you have created before so if you just click the little pencil here it will show you uh the way to edit it and accidentally click way down there but be careful with this so a couple reasons if you change your stamp folder at the bottom like michael's showdown is right there if you change your stamp folder if you have it set to a company location like a server location or anything like that it will pull up all of the pdf files that it finds in that folder and use them as stamps which is great for making company standards but if you start using that pencil icon you're actually changing what's saved on the server so be careful where you are um good catch so back to here you can then create a stamp and you get to name it so you saw the names there before who's the author so authorship is just the user id under review if you go to the menu there it preferences that's the default name it gives you which is your user id for windows default you can change it if you wanted to template so do you want to start off with text in the center of your stamp text with a border around it or text with date and border so date would be a dynamic box so when it's placed it's going to put the actual today's date and then the text with rounded border we'll do this one you can always change the size if you wanted to but like jason was saying earlier if you don't want to scale it you just want to left click and place it what is it going to do and how is that going to work um it'll be the actual size of what that markup is and we just covered all of these blend modes and that's why we did it up here so i don't have to click it and create all of these different ones and what they're going to be doing for those what's the opacity of it rotation font color and our line color i'm not going to do typical there we go so now here's our stamp we have our round border like it said with text we selected the black text now if we want to have any dynamic fields where things are going to auto input some data you're going to use the text box and when you get ready to place your text box you will have dynamic populate underneath and this is where fields will be automatic automatically populated like user the day the hour the seconds so once that stamp is placed all of this will autofill that dynamic text functionality is only available in a stamp correct correct yep there's no other way to do this so if you're looking for one of those ways to to include that information um hold on there are some headers and footers that haven't that's true remember yeah that's true but what we see normally like from cad users is they've done like a diesel string and um to have their file path for example you can do the same thing here with uh review yes but it's a name of the pdf so just remember that your extension of file without the extension you just use this one so we can go through and the user would be again that user they had for preferences we'll just put the year first so we'll do two digits and then this is how it's going to write it out and you can have the same thing as you go forward right so i can do slash and then i can go to my months and then slash and go through my day the euro way i'm doing it the way that i know that i used to when i was saving files because this would always change and then this and then this that's true that's yep that's logical i like it and we can change the size change it to black um that was not all the text that was the new text you can center it so style if you wanted to center the text left um bold however you want to go through and do this is the way to go yeah i could go back and change that but let me place it here and oops you can move this up so it seems like difficult coding but it's pretty easy to figure out so can you the question is can you type in that code without having to enter in from dynamic if you put ampersand bracket you know i haven't yeah i haven't tried it you probably try it and it may work um for what those are because that's just like the javascript and code that you're gonna be utilizing um what happens when it exceeds the box it doesn't because it well i guess it would be for the extension like your file extension would probably be the only one because these are set because it's two digits using a path would probably extend the box yeah it would return so anything that and doesn't or does exceed passive returns usually is what happens good question and then you can do save as ooh mine's stamp one because anyways so out of the box you have it stored can everybody see this file path here v program data blue software for some reason sometimes you can't see this in the zoom meeting but anyways from here you can go to see this is where it's natively saved so it's under your user id documents blue beam review sorry no it's c drive program data blue beam software blue beam review 20 stamps so the addition of what it is and actually ironically i've been getting folks asking questions about 21 lately when's 21 coming out so let me re-hash that kind of um when is review 21 coming out it's not 20 21 so be aware of that that review is no longer year locked they made that announcement in the edition of review 20 so it's review 2019 and then review 20 came out and it wasn't 20 20. so i mean it came out in the year of 2020 but they didn't announce it as 2020. it's review edition 20. so be aware that review the only way to get these great updates it's not you're locked it's by feature updates and it's maintenance so where you could have said oh i'm just going to re-buy a new one every year you could have had maintenance which is cheaper anyways and then that way you're able to get the newest updates in their producing feature updates to give all end users these new updates in between like the changing of the dimensions where you can have different units so don't think of review being released every year that is not their mindset bluebeam's mindset anymore so just be aware of that now this is where they save them so in the review 20 stamps and this is the default folder for that and i'm just going to hit save i'm hoping yeah that's fine now again it's seen as a dot pdf extension so if you wanted to save it on your desktop share it all the other folks could resave it into their normal location on wherever their folder is i'm just going to hit the exits because now i can go to tools stamps and i will be able to i wish so maybe that is one of those if you ever want a wishful think item you can go to help and make a suggestion my thing here would be i have so many stamps can i just scroll wheel down instead of having to go down and hit this button i don't know that i have that many stamps that i've ever had to do the scrolling wheel yeah i don't have that many so interesting um i just do a lot of demos and people ask about making custom stamps so if i go and click this one and again like we were talking about earlier if you just left click it's the scale of what it was created at and then there's my data that four by one orange one inch stamp and that is pretty cool i like it yes for the search at the top well like to search for a different stamp now one of the things that you did which is what i always do which i i know it's a bad habit and that's you created a stamp one yeah you forgot to name it something else so how would you rename your stamp because if you go to the pencil icon you can't do that so you might as well show that little trick um rename your stamp and do it from the pencil icon you're saying you can't do it from the pencil icon so you have a stamp one if you wanted to fix that what do you do i'd probably can you rename it from here now you can't i'm gonna go into the actual stamp folder and ring oh you're saying the folder i thought there was a quicker way than the stamp folder not that i know of okay if you know that'd be great um yeah cause like you can't change the name there can you yeah but that's something i always do um ooh document properties let's see hop up to document properties and see if you can change it there so that was here i mean if you're in here [Music] that's not file name interesting what is it control p for document properties oh david's saying control p so if i select it from here um go back to your stamp one that's print oh what is it then it's um control d sorry ctrl d for document properties yeah there's no way to change the name there yeah good suggestion that's what we do here though let's go down rabbit holes and figure things out still stamp yeah okay so yeah you got to go into the actual folder and rename it and then if you rename it it will show up differently in your stamp drop down okay so going there and changing it is what you would want to do next one is when you place your stamps you can flatten them individually so you don't have to flatten your whole document of pdfs now this is just making the markups become one with the pdf right and i always recommend whenever i'm sending sending out pdfs that have revisions that i do want to flatten having one that does have a markup recovery so if you flatten them you can go down to here and you can say allow markup recovery so it will allow you to unflatten them if you decheck that there's no way to remove those markups that were made on the pdf they become one so my analogy is always you know that iron on like an iron-on branding to a shirt you're ironing it and making it part of the shirt and you don't have that chance of washing it and it being removed but you do if you have this part right here okay is that a good analogy that's a good analogy i was gonna say like you know a permanent marker versus a dry erase marker or pen versus pencil or whatever you can always undo it i don't know um if i flatten something and i send it to you can you unflatten it anybody unflatten only if that one is selected i believe because if i flatten it here that's not allowing for recovery right let's see right it is but if you do it is that because the flattened settings are this so no but like if i were to be the one to unflatten it is that flattening tied to your username you can't unflatten it if you have that g that button deselected so interesting see like i can't even come in and flatten it so beth has a question control z since we're talking about you can't control z um and we're kind of flattening and um and a little deviation from the stamps but that's fine um we're flattening because we're testing the stamp here and beth has a question um i've ever had issues with after flattening but partially transparent markups so even a stamp here that we tried those different blend modes they became opaque and started covering up content so yeah that's because it's becoming part of that encoding of what it was on top of the pdf now we can check if that doesn't happen with the screen well let's not use screen let's use it was multiply wasn't it it did the multiply yeah they gave it a little bit of a transparent no well let's just do this one so if i flatten this one [Music] so it didn't overwrite that's also potentially one of those hey i made it in bluebeam and i opened it in adobe and it works fine here but it doesn't work fine on other pdf uh programs could be um well that's a cool thing yeah so let me flatten this yeah it's not interesting so beth i think that might be someone opening up and not bluebeam review potentially yeah i would want to see so we'd have to find out the real issue so was it their machine was it how was flattened yeah remember review follows the iso standard so if the other software falls at standard it should be following that same method and if you flatten by the way a hyperlink it's no longer or an action it's no longer the little thunderbolt that you click you can click the actual area for it to move and that's more sorry an action not a hyperlink because hyperlinks already are like that okay but going back to here let's talk about do you want to send them the extensions i don't think i have saved i've already got it ready to rock i was i was saving it and i was waiting for you to mention it that way i could put it here in the chat let me set this to everyone so in the chat i put a link to a web browser that goes to a very hard to find um link on uh bluebeam.com um yeah because i don't think i have it saved no because save it boom would you reset did you know that review had a web tab yes awesome under windows and it is under web web tab or control t so if you go to that extension where you you were what's right there let's see you you were there and then you lost it there we go so bluebeam created a bunch of great content and they're just putting out there and some of those things are stamps but these stamps go back up those stamps are kind of boring like confidential draft progress that's just giving you an idea of what's possible but when you go down oh look at all this cool stuff interactive those are cool so just be aware i've gone down the rabbit hole trying to modify these so if you do like i did you have to have extreme because in order to get into the java scripting behind it um that is an extreme version only so if i go and place one that i've clicked on and downloaded um like this assigned discipline here if i click this it's going to give you a javascripting window now this is the part where it's dynamic where you get to select different items and then it populates it in the stamp so if i went into here and said it's going to be um oh i'll just do mechanical checked by the date hit okay and that data fills in to the stamp location here now you can go in and modify your company name and logo here the harder part and where i've always failed is the renaming of these right because this is tied to what's filling in the data here so let me kind of break that down and compact it to you on what that means so if i go in and edit the stamp i am going to see these fields here and these fields are being assigned under my forms so if i go in and click forms here i'm going to see this so i this is named by this location here and this is being filled out by that javascript window that's being populated so these are just form fields and under here under tools forms javascript this is the javascripting window that's controlling those so yes parameters no parameters of your selection of the specific script that's selecting the form and field of the data so right if you're saying discipline so if you go and you look at your list group discipline here what this is talking through is your list items and what list items in your list box which is this is creating a list box and what are those items of selection here so you have your yes no parameters for oh it's going to be process which is the automatically one selected first negative one for just being a selection piping mechanical civil electrical instruments so these are your options here and i've gone through and tried modifying and changing some of these and it hasn't really worked that well what you can do is change like this text right so your logo can be in here and you need to get out of the forms because it's just going to want you to select forms but you can come in here and change your logo you can add a different color this part here where you're changing the name of where the form is being instructed to change by the javascripting data is a little bit more complex so just be aware of that it can be tricky but they're like that thing like that company name and logo that's just begging for you to edit it right yeah um so do what you can there um david has a great question um as usual thanks david so this kind of goes back to that dynamic um thing that you put in there for the date and is that date sticky from the time it was applied or from the time that the pdf was opened so if you place the stamp and there's that date box maybe not this one so when you whenever you stamp things i believe it goes the time it was applied and it will not be dynamic it's when it's selected to be placed it doesn't open it doesn't update on opening there's a follow-up question no i believe it does i believe it's when it's selected because that's when it's pulling the data so when it is selected meaning from there not actually clicked on yeah so when it is placed like that that's when it's pulling the date um [Music] can you go back and edit your michael stamp there and hit that pencil icon our buddy matlin has a question he wants to know did the dynamic input have both options for date so you put it in here year month date is there an option for the four digit year there sure is so let's go to minutes and seconds and this will determine that's there you go so is it from the minutes and seconds when i am going to select it so we'll give it in the round of once this hits 30 i will place it meaning select it so is it at the 30 almost or is it after that so is it when i click it from the box here so right now i'm going to go in and is it closer to 30 if not i'm going to wait a couple more seconds before i place it and if it's past that 30 marker then it's when i click it to place it let's see what you got going on here 43. so yeah as soon as it's placed place when it's locking yeah now one thing i was messing around with these stamps uh a couple weeks ago and the hour is military time it's the 24-hour format i haven't found a way to do a 12-hour am pm who like the convenience store we don't know i haven't seen one of those in a long time so that's a that's a down south thing i think i wonder if the reason for that is that it's multi oh it could be well because language us you know because i know we use more am pm here than you know some of the euro countries interesting there's so many settings in here oh while you're in here can you pop over the general tab and uh go to per username so earlier when michael was creating those stamps and they had the user you can change that to anything you want so i normally put my full name jason artle and then i put atg in parentheses so if i am collaborating with somebody they know who this guy jason is right so if you change that username and you have a stamp that has a dynamic field looking for username it will put in whatever's there now is a good thing chris saying that is it a mine's not on military time so maybe it is pulling from some kind of windows setting that is military driven i'm just like the date and time i'll have to drill into that and figure out where it's pulling that maybe that's a javascript thing yeah because that was minutes and seconds and it was doing zero seven and i'm guessing it doesn't go to like 12 because it's not showing a pm right right um okay but going back to our assigned area so you have these and this one was also from that location here um the tab here oh it's right here so that's this one right here and they have other ones like company logo for your submittal review your engineering review company logo here it's asking for some additional information that you can go in and play so again like jason was saying they are asking you to change some of that stuff so it can be more centric around your firm but it was really cool sorry the tech boxes are really cool um on that engineering review one or even a submittal review yeah javascript pops up and asks you to check the box um and that one i have right here and those are just checks as well so you can create check boxes for these and that's all this is oh look at that with the hello world new disclaimer please steal so clever um david's got a question can you go back um and show you where you added that dynamic text um yeah so it's any texts that you selected in your um when you double click into it or you place a new text you have dynamic here so you've got all those little options there there's some good stuff i i really like the three month or the three letter abbreviation for month and this is we were talking about it earlier so if i go to headers and footers well no well yeah i mean i'm in the stamp but it's showing it for my document one um it's not it's doing oh it is doing the stamp one here but what it this also has the file name path the same kind of thing but a little bit more like subject project revisor right so you have all these additional ones but that's what that one question was that you were saying earlier was is there anywhere else that has something similar there are something similar here like file name right and then it'll give it that at the top which is i don't even know if it's going to fit in there so but this is also the additional one that you have for those items it's also kind of weird that it shows up in a different code right because it was shown in the carrot brackets yeah is that what you call them they're greater than less than brackets um instead of the ampersand uh blocky brackets was that for a technical term that was great or the nope you were right with all of it so i was gonna say a different one but it's a completely different type for coding um but great those are what we have available yes i highlighted everything and those check boxes are the same thing in here so if i go to my stamp on what that was i edit it they're right here so you have a status which then gives those selections of what it's going to do for all of these check boxes here so it's a form that's applying the checkbox and then it's a javascript that's applying the pop-up that asks you to do what it's going to do yep exactly so these point to this and these are selected once the window populates i believe it's the error message because it's this is saying select a status for me since there's nothing selected that's why it's popping up but i'm no java expert yet so this is a good question from david so um a few months ago couple months ago we did an episode on forms and and part of that question it might have been you david hopefully it was um they asked the question can we harvest that data after it's been assigned so same thing if we had a stamp that had a form in it or it had a check box is there a way to harvest that data um so we would know hey but nothing's inserted what if you go check that box though these are inserted oh that is check box okay i believe it's probably because these are their own pdfs seen as right stacked on top so there's no data that's enriched in here it's only in here yeah looks like no you cannot harvest the data that's entered into a stamp good question from a native form yeah [Music] so like from here and we went through that on one of our morning cod reviews as well if i type something in here right i can get the data from here as well export that's data yeah get it going and there's another file format not you don't have to fbf it can be csp there we go or xml and someone asked a question what's different between csv or xml it was like the file format well all three letters are different uh no um csb for excel fdf or i don't know and xml can open in a whole bunch of things oh okay yeah david was trying to think how we could use physical stamps on paper copies in our invoice approval process and then how could we take that to review you'd probably just want to use straight up forms for that and not not a stamp with a form yeah if you're trying to just get the data enrichment otherwise you can just create a custom stamp in here so you could also do the stamp where you are grabbing it from if you did a physical stamp you could scan it in and you can still create a stamp with a cutout so you can do like a snapshot right so you can go through and do a snapshot let's just say this was stamped on there grab this the snapshot of the content and then place that in your stamp so if you're trying to have something that's exactly the same you could do that as well but back into signing and sealing so if i want to place a seal here now to each their own right so if you want to you can go through and you can go and place your seal i messed up these seals but this is their seal and you would never do this this size is just not correct for this one i'm to scale it down um but you would never do that because it would be to the correct size when you're placing it right jason there's legal legal things for implications for that yeah so from here you would never do that i'm just doing it so it fits in this location so from here you can do one of two things you can then flatten this and it becomes part of the document right but the thing is that's fine because the seals the seal what really matters also is my signature right so stamp i always suggest having your seal as a stamp now this is where it comes to you to decide on how you want to sign it now you can do one of two things you can create an additional stamp that is just your signature right so if i go down and look for my signature you can all yell at me for my weird signature there we go right there's my signature and then i could flatten this again teach the realm it's how you want to do this just be aware that people can come and get snapshots remove it um they could do but again people could do that with any document as long as they allow it to be editable and you can set up security we did a whole item on security or you can use this batch sign and seal which is an extreme version only the the secondary one would be creating a signature location with the signature on it so you're coming into here and you're going to do this this is where my signature is going to be placed so when i'm getting ready to be done i can click this login have my own custom signature here oops there it is so that it's password protected can't be snapshotted can't be copied or this is kind of the same thing when you're going to the batch sign and seal so this is a extreme version only and you can come in here and say yes oh man i just did it again so don't just say yes because i overwrit that document because it asked me to sign it so please read instructions as it goes along i'm gonna hit next that i'm not the only one i i always remember to do it and sometimes i don't and now i'm gonna have to go back and remember that i have this is it's it's gonna create an encoding item behind it so now i have to re do all my things but back into here so this is my signature so this is the digital signature part that we saw earlier that i was doing the single sign but this is going to do it for all pages so i can scroll in over here and i'm going to apply my signature here so then i can go down and select my custom signature that i had for it whichever one i want to use there it is great but i also need the seal so you have the seal down here you can select the seal and this is just your pdfs right so your i'm sorry your stamps pdfs stamps this is going to be up here as well i can bring this down and you can also in in here um rescale it if you needed to which we would never do because it would be to scale but i'm just giving you an example and there we go right here okay so as i'm going through and doing this and as you noticed here this was done earlier because this was not for being drawn on so i'll place these over here so you can just see it and this will go through and do this for all the desired pages that you want so when you're getting ready to hit done it'll say page what or did you want all of them and you can go through and do all them or specific ones and then you also have this date feature so if you wanted to place a date you have your formats for dates here which is way more than what we had before but you have your date formatting as well and you just have to go up here and select where you want the date to be placed later on like down here now you can't rotate it though which is unfortunate that's where your your seal already had that dynamic date placed in there you might want to um not put that in your your thing um matt's got a question if if we're going that route so it's kind of backing up before you started doing the batch sign and seal which is combining both of those features would it make sense to make a stamp that already had your seal and your signature in it at the same time that's up to you and your security on how you feel about having that that's when it comes down to that decision so are you comfortable with having your signature on a seal being just saved on the network where anyone can get access to it if it doesn't matter to you and you don't care if someone comes and does a snapshot of all of that then yeah that's going to be the easiest quickest way so that is your decision to make also looking at the stamp that you've got there um that blend mode could come in handy here because it might be able to look more like a pen on paper if you had that set to multiply where it was a little bit see-through yeah maybe that's a trick to to why that um some of those blend modes exist to make it um easier to replicate the actual wet stamp wet signature look so there are a couple ways these are the processes on which you can go about it so if you do not have extreme which i always highly recommend because if that batch sign and seal is gonna stamp it and sign it same area on every single document so hopefully your title blocks are correct um in the same location because it's going to go in the same location on every page or you can go through and you don't have extreme you can do a signature box and do the same thing and we did a a whole morning coffee review on how to create a new appearance because this is default for your digital signatures you can come in here and create a new one and you can customize the way you want it to look and the only people that can get access to these under your appearances is your specific user id digital id though which is that's that follows a different protocol right there's some sort of microsoft protocol there yeah and your document certified either one you have both of them at your disposal um can you show how to create a signature box again for non-extreme users so you don't need extreme to make a digital signature you just need to extreme to do all the sign and signature on multiple files and pages at once so [Music] be aware of this because if you create a box you can't delete unless you have extreme which we found out so you don't get forms unless you have an extreme so i can't come in here and delete it after i've made it if you made it in the wrong spot so just be wary that is one thing but you can come into here under tools signature and you have sign so you can come into here and create a signature box so i just left click and held to drag the area of selection for me to place my signature and now that is always there and i can come in and certify it as my sign just be aware with that one yeah if you don't have extreme you won't be able to get rid of that box once you place it you can move it no you can't there's no you can't yeah you're stuck that's why i always recommend one version of extreme [Music] ooh here's a good question thanks lee how do you figure out which version of review that you have top left under review about and it's telling you your edition it'll say standard cad or extreme and then uh there's also the version which will show you if you're on the latest version yep 20.2.60. very cool so let's show another trick if you wanted to apply a stamp to all the pages at the same time in the same location but you didn't have extreme what would you do so you can do that and by the way they added new additional ones and i forget which update it was i think it was 19. um when you go in and place a stamp you have the well we'll just grab one that's right here like looked oops that one's flattened so if you want this approved on all pages you can put a little rotation on there look at you and maybe a little more there we go it's approved so much that you can't even see what the plans are i love it so these plan sets are approved and i wanted on all pages i can select the approved right click and you have applied to pages so a little hidden trick if you're trying to stamp multiple pages at one time you don't have extreme this is a trick to do it and they updated this so it used to only be like custom and all now you can do even odds landscape portrait the only thing is when you hit okay it doesn't show you that it did it you just have to know that it did it so if you had the thumbnails open you could see it oh see that's a good trick i would have just started flipping through pages but you were thinking ahead and you went to thumbnails i like it and you can apply a stamp from here too so under thumbnails you can apply a stamp as well and if you choose that does it go to all pages um so this is just going to do yeah and you get to pick which one you want so it's another way to blend in why yeah but it's only in a quadrant two so your quadrant is where it's going to be [Music] it is a little tricky i like it well we're getting close to wrapping this thing up for today our december 7th session i want to thank everybody for joining us any last questions any questions out there on youtube land thanks matt thanks justin this is always fun for us and i'm glad that that um you guys are having fun too remember bring your questions we're doing this every week and uh we don't plan on stopping anytime soon so if you got something that comes up um feel free to to drop us a line and when you when we wrap up today there's gonna be a survey that's gonna pop up and uh this is key because it's kind of segwaying into next week um when you do that survey it's going to ask you like hey did did we do good did we you know screw up or what topics would you want us to hear or talk about next time and uh that's what we're gonna be talking about next week is some of these questions that have popped in over the past few months um are hard to answer just randomly so we're gonna do a question and answer episode next week so join in for that yes so to add to that you were saying that we're going to be doing this next week so feel free to add into that area because we'll bring those we have some ones from way back in the day that we may not have answered yet and we're going to bring them up in our next week's session and jason and i will be together hopefully in the same room as we do this so any questions before yeah that'd be fun oh yeah i guess you're right i mean we were at the same location where we filmed but we never gone live together on the screen oh couple good questions um before we wrap up here uh one from from uh marvin here can stamps be added to tool sets absolutely and then also we got one that's gonna need a little bit of um experimentation you see that question from brandon oh so brandon's saying that you can delete them so i would test it um that is you'd have to re-select and i didn't think about that it seems like kind of a hack um you just have to reselect the signature the sign document right until if you're you're reading or you're froze up i think you froze up you're not blinking you can remove a signature box or movement part and it allows you to select and edit the box so did my voice catch up yeah there you go now you're back i'm here now okay so uh sounds like a little hack which i wasn't aware of but if you reselect it you get back into it so you can add new ones i'm guessing and still be in it and can you move them though it did it when i first selected it so if i hit escape again but i have a full version of reviews so i can still come and select these yeah i mean i guess you could select this nope nope you have to be in that first edition of it and then there you go so i don't know if this works for everyone that has non-extreme yeah check it out so does control z work to remove it after you've placed it yeah but you'd have to control z out of everything that you've done too okay yeah because see it's still here i'd have to go all the way back to the original origin oh he's talking the signatures panel on the left side which you do not have visible oh yeah but yeah we you have a signature there it doesn't show up only i think if i log in but you have the delete but some don't have the signatures panel either though that's the thing too for versions so be aware of that very interesting yeah well that takes us over time today thanks everybody for joining us sincerely um be safe out there we'll see you next week tuesday 8 30 central and as always thanks everybody out there on youtube land for joining us um even if you're in the future hi future people watching this on youtube [Music] agreed thanks everyone and we look forward to seeing you all next week take care
