Technology in Architectural Practice

In DC and Arlington, VA we are required to submit digitally.  Our firm uses Bluebeam Revu to flatten the digtal stamp (with option of not being able to unflatten).  The seal then becomes part of the document.  For Arlington County, VA we have a choice of submitting hard copies with wet stamp.  However, in the District they will not accept hard copies, so each firm has to figure out their own secure digital signing.  As with everything going electronic, we may not have the luxury of choice in the future.
