LineType Software, Inc. Releases PDF-based Digital Signature Tool for Architects and Engineers

Banjo Digital Signature Plug-in is the first digital signature tool designed to meet the needs of design professionals and the legal requirements of professional licensing boards.

Nashville, TN -- June 8, 2005 -- LineType Software, Inc., a developer of electronic document tools for design professionals, today announced the release of the Banjo Digital Signature plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.

The Banjo plug-in offers unique formatting and security capabilities that allow users to customize the graphic appearance associated with a digital signature to comply with licensing board standards for signing and sealing construction drawings and specifications.  Any alteration to a signed document will cause the signature to be immediately and visibly invalidated.

"As a practicing architect, I know the ways in which digital signatures can increase efficiency and reduce costs in our profession," says John TeSelle, AIA, president of LineType Software, Inc.  "I also know that that there is not any other product on the market that will realize these benefits as thoroughly and as conveniently as will the Banjo plug-in.  It has been designed specifically to integrate into the AEC workflow -- everything from construction documents to contracts to change orders and submittals can be processed more efficiently using this software."

The Banjo plug-in builds on the strengths of the Portable Document Format (PDF) developed by Adobe Systems, Inc.  In addition to being universally accepted and understood as an electronic document format, PDF is an excellent solution for architectural and engineering documents.  A PDF preserves fonts, line weights, and drawing scale and can be printed by any reprographer or copy shop anywhere in the world.
