Creating A Signature In Bluebeam

1. Sign a blank piece of paper. A dull sign pen works best to give you a lush, dark signature.

2. Scan the signature on the paper by using one of the copier/scanners in the office.

3. Open the scanned document (pdf, jpg, or .tif) in Bluebeam. Using the "Snapshot" tool (i.e. the camera icon on the toolbar, keyboard shortcut "G", or Edit->Snapshot) drag and draw a selection box around your signature.

4. Paste (Ctrl + V) your signature snapshot into the same document (you should see a dashed box w/ yellow dots around it, this means it's Highlighted)

5. While the new signature is highlighted, right-click and select properties. The properties dialog will usually appear on the right side of Bluebeam window.

9. Now you should be able to see your signature in your "Tool Chest" (usually located on the left side of the Bluebeam window under the tab that looks like a tool chest). Drag that sucker from your "Tool Chest" and BOOM!, your digital signature is ready to use in any document that needs your signature.
