Professionals' Electronic Data Delivery System (PEDDS)
PEDDS is an application developed by the Department used to Sign and Seal
documents stored electronically. This system meets the requirements of the
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Boards of
Professional Regulation, for signing and sealing electronic documents.
PEDDS is a project centric system designed specifically to meet the rules of
those Boards of Professional Regulation and suit the needs of the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) for delivering electronically produced
plan sets along with the native CAD files, input files used in the design of a
project, reports, journals, specifications and data files to be used later in
construction. PEDDS secures a project within a folder structure that defines
the project. Specific files within that structure are selected for signing and
sealing by a professional.
This system is not well suited for signing and sealing random individual files, or
sending files that are not part of a project as described. If you are using the
PEDDS system as part of a Florida Department of Transportation project, help is
available from the Engineering/CADD Systems Office (ECSO), phone number
850-245-1600. Otherwise, tutorials are found on the Quick Clips page, at the
FDOT2008 Update Webinar link. If you are using PEDDS as required by another
entity such as a Municipality, County Government or another agency, the
software is available free for use. However, for policies concerning its
application and support, you should first contact the agency requiring its use.

Delivery System (PEDDS) from our software downloads page.

(PEDDS) can be found at the PEDDS version 3.2.1.0 help page.
