How do I download and save a completed document?
DocuSign aggregates all of your uploaded files into a PDF for a secure signing experience. You add files in any of our many supported file formats, such as Word documents, spreadsheets, or images, and DocuSign brings them all together into a single, tamper-sealed PDF. You can view the document image directly in the application, or you can download the PDF file for viewing, sharing, and storing.
When you download a document from DocuSign, it presents the current state of your document. Only completed documents show the signing information. All of the completed signing fields are included on the PDF. For incomplete documents, the PDF includes only the files that you added to the document; none of the signing fields are visible on the PDF.
To download your document, click the Download icon at the top of the view and select Separate PDFs or Combined PDF, depending on which format you want. Separate PDFs gives you a ZIP file containing all of the files in the DocuSign document as individual PDFs. The selected file is downloaded to your local Downloads folder.
