Download the signed PDF

Once an envelope reaches completed, two PDFs will be available via the API:

  • The signed envelope — your original PDF with signatures and field input rendered in place.
  • The audit certificate — a generated PDF listing every signer action with timestamp, IP, and user agent.

Both are served directly by the API and stream application/pdf:

ResourceEndpoint
Signed envelope PDFGET /v1/envelopes/{id}/documents/signed
Audit certificate PDFGET /v1/envelopes/{id}/certificate
curl https://api.permissio.us/v1/envelopes/env_abc123/documents/signed \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here" \
--output signed.pdf

The signed document is integrity-checked against its stored SHA-256 before it's served.

Only available once completed

These artifacts exist only after the envelope reaches completed. Requesting them for a draft or in-progress envelope returns HTTP 409 with a clear error code — poll GET /v1/envelopes/{id} for status: "completed", or wait for the envelope.completed webhook, before downloading.

The envelope.completed webhook payload includes signed_document_url, audit_certificate_url, and signed_document_sha256, so you can fetch and verify the PDF as soon as the event arrives without constructing the path yourself.
