Hi Tom!
Yes, the agency here has a similar system, so downloaded my licenses from
their sources.
Before they had that in place, I had to scan the paper and make the PDF that
I had on record, but things change with time, and sometimes, it isn't all
bad.
73,
Dave

You can get the official pdf of your license from the FCC site directly
As a matter of fact now when you renew that's all you get unless you
specifically request an official printed copy. They want us to save the FCC
a few cents and print our own.
