All Paper
We have paper signed copies and then post the document to an ftp site for availability. We only keep hard copies of the signed Master docs. Also we have a tag at the bottom of the doc that states the doc is only valid on the day it is printed and lists the date. Another form of security is we use our logo which has color. So if someone prints out a copy, its in black and white. Especially if they manage to get ahold of a Master and try to copy it. Everyone has been advised not to print copies out in color, but even if they do, the Master is the only one without the tag in the footer.
So far this has worked very well. Now, however, we are trying to move to a Corporate structure and have the Top Level documents for our global sites be shared and the sites are only responsible for their procedures. Currently the Corporate Quality Manager approves all Corporate docs, but I would like to implement that someone from each site also approve. I have heard that electronic signatures are available through Adobe for pdf files. Has anyone used this feature? Have you had any issues?
Thanks
