# RequestPDFWithCert

This method returns all of the documents combined into a single, contiguous PDF. Additionally it returns the Signing Certificate PDF document, which details the specific attributes of the participants and landmark events of the signing transaction. It also returns the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure, per account settings, associated with the envelope.
