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](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestcertificate) - Returns the signing certificate, which details the specific attributes of the participants and landmark events of the signing transaction, for an envelope. [RequestDocumentPDFs](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/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](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/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](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestdocumentpdfsrecipientsview) - This method requests the recipient’s view of the document PDFs in an envelope. [DocumentPDF](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/documentpdf) - Queries the envelope and returns the Document PDFs for the envelope. [RequestPDF](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdf) - Queries the envelope and return its final PDF. [RequestPDFNoWaterMark](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfnowatermark) - Queries the envelope and returns the PDF without showing the watermark. [RequestPDFWithCert](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfwithcert) - Queries the envelope and returns the PDF with the signing certificate. [EnvelopePDF](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/envelopepdf) - Queries the envelope and returns envelope information. [TransferEnvelope](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/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](/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/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. ## Docs - [AcknowledgeAuthoritativeCopyExport](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/acknowledgeauthoritativecopyexport.md) - [AuthoritativeCopyExportDocuments](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/authoritativecopyexportdocuments.md) - [Post Processing Group DocumentPDF](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/documentpdf.md) - [Post Processing Group EnvelopePDF](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/envelopepdf.md) - [ExportAuthoritativeCopy](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/exportauthoritativecopy.md) - [Post Processing Group RequestCertificate | SOAP](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestcertificate.md) - [RequestCertificateWithCertLanguage](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestcertificatewithcertlanguage.md) - [RequestDocumentPDFs](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestdocumentpdfs.md) - [RequestDocumentPDFsEx](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestdocumentpdfsex.md) - [RequestDocumentPDFsRecipientsView](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestdocumentpdfsrecipientsview.md) - [Post Processing Group RequestPDF](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdf.md) - [RequestPDFNoWaterMark](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfnowatermark.md) - [RequestPDFRecipientView](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfrecipientview.md) - [RequestPDFsWithOptions](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfswithoptions.md) - [RequestPDFWithCert](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfwithcert.md) - [RequestPDFWithOptions](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/requestpdfwithoptions.md) - [Rules for Exporting Authoritative Copy Envelopes](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/rules-for-exporting-authoritative-copy-envelopes.md) - [Rules for TransferEnvelope](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/rules-for-transferenvelope.md) - [Rules for using RequestDocumentPDFs, RequestDocumentPDFsEx, RequestPDF, RequestPDFNoWaterMark, RequestPDFWithCert, DocumentPDF, and EnvelopePDF](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/rules-for-using-requestdocumentpdfs,-requestdocumentpdfsex.md) - [Post Processing Group TransferEnvelope](https://developers.docusign.com/docs/esign-soap-api/reference/post-processing-group/transferenvelope.md)
