Eliminate manual effort and ensure correct information is stamped every time
-   01 An item revision is submitted  
The process begins when an item revision is submitted to a workflow, typically for approval, review, or release.
 -   02 PDF is extracted by workflow handler  
At the designated step, the workflow handler extracts the attached PDF and retrieves any necessary metadata, such as item properties and approval details.
 -   03 PDF stamping  
The extracted information is used to apply the appropriate stamps to the PDF. This follows predefined rules set in the configuration file, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
 -   04 PDF is uploaded to Teamcenter  
Once the stamping is complete, the modified PDF is uploaded back into Teamcenter, replacing the existing PDF.
 -   05 TAPS completed  
After the stamping and upload process, control is returned to the workflow, allowing any remaining tasks to proceed without disruption.
 -   06 Authenticate stamps  
Individual signatures can be verified in Teamcenter using unique identifiers (UIDs), which validate the authenticity of each signature. The workflow process UID can also be embedded in the PDF for additional verification and security.
