This section describes the methods which can be used to retrieve envelope documents from the Docusign system. Docusign maintains a separate certificate document with each envelope document that contains important origination and landmark events pertinent to the document.

The functions in this group are:

RequestCertificate - Returns the signing certificate, which details the specific attributes of the participants and landmark events of the signing transaction, for an envelope.

RequestDocumentPDFs - Returns a collection of all of the documents in an envelope. This method differs from RequestPDF in that this method returns individual documents, while RequestPDF returns all of the documents combined into a single, contiguous PDF. Additionally, the RequestDocumentPDFs method returns the Signing Certificate pdf document, which details the specific attributes of the participants and landmark events of the signing transaction.

RequestDocumentPDFsEx - Returns an extended version the collection of all of the documents from RequestDocumentPDFs. Extensions include originating document ID and document type. Available only in the 3.0 API.

RequestDocumentPDFsRecipientsView - This method requests the recipient’s view of the document PDFs in an envelope.

DocumentPDF - Queries the envelope and returns the Document PDFs for the envelope.

RequestPDF - Queries the envelope and return its final PDF.

RequestPDFNoWaterMark - Queries the envelope and returns the PDF without showing the watermark.

RequestPDFWithCert - Queries the envelope and returns the PDF with the signing certificate.

EnvelopePDF - Queries the envelope and returns envelope information.

TransferEnvelope - Transfers ownership of the specified envelope to the specified User in the specified Account. Returns a Boolean to indicate success of the operation.

ExportAuthoritativeCopy - Exports an Authoritative Copy envelope from Docusign. Returns an encrypted collection for all the documents and an export transaction ID for a given envelope. To decrypt the documents and remove the actual Authoritative Copy from Docusign the method AcknowledgeAuthoritativeCopyExport must be called. Available only in version 3.0 of the API.
