Costa Rica Enacts New Electronic Signature Law
Law Of Certificates, Digital Signatures And Electronic Documents 8454, was passed by the Legislative assembly of the Republic of Costa Rica in San José, August 23rd 2005. This law applies to all types of transactions, both public and private. The State and all of its companies are explicitly authorized to utilize the digital certificates, electronic documents and digital signatures (Article 1).
Electronic signatures and documents have legal recognition and functional equivalence to physical media. (Article 3, 4 and 18). Electronic documents and communications will have the same value and the probative efficacy as the equivalent signed manuscript and is considered registered when the digital certificate has been sent by the registered certifier (Article 8 and 9). Until proved otherwise by an opponent, an electronic signature is presumed to be in force at the moment of issuance. This presumption does not dispense of legal requirements of authentication, certification or registration (Article 10).
Businesses are able to legally store their files and documents in electronic form provided that the necessary security measures are taken to guarantee the accuracy of the file, accessibility and information regarding its origin. When transitioning matters of registration, files or endorsements that are required by law to be stored, the business should first get authorization from the appropriate authority (Article 6).
Articles 11 and 12 outline the requirements and mechanisms of validating electronic document systems. There should be a linking or means of associating the document, the digital signature and the individual signing the document. The file should have a means of authentication and integrity verification. The system should utilize a mechanism of certification or validation that would operate from machine to machine, program to program and even systems of public and private keys or other systems that offer optimum security.

How would you go about printing multiple files into one book?
not sure if i have all details. Construction Company wants to create a “cut-book” for a project plan. it should include pdf’s of all drawings and schematics, laws and regulations. mostly pdf files, some word, perhaps excel.
is there a application that would let me create a library of these artifacts and then select which ones I want to merge, print and bind for a construction job?
Hey, there are two ways to solve your problem.
1, If you have adobe acrobat, you may build a project. And drag and drop all the pdfs, words and excels into it.
2, If not, you may use free pdf creators to convert words and excels to pdfs. That is easy. Here is the link for free pdf creators:

Then you may use anybizsoft pdf merger to merge all the files together. You may choose the file order, select any page or page ranges from the files. You may have a free trial first to see the output result.

The second way is cheaper. As acrobat will cost your hundreds of bucks.
Hope that helps!

In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
