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.
For more information about the Banjo plug-in, including features, cost,
