By default, SignatureAPI generates a standard deliverable that includes the signed documents and a visible audit log. If you need the signed documents without audit log pages, use a simple deliverable instead. The simple deliverable still embeds the audit log as metadata within the PDF for verification purposes. Only the visible audit log pages are removed.

​
Set the deliverable type when creating an envelope

Include a deliverable object with type set to simple when creating the envelope. SignatureAPI generates a simple deliverable automatically when the envelope completes. 
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "title": "Service Agreement",
    "documents": [ //... ],
    "recipients": [ //... ],
    "deliverable": {
        "type": "simple"
    }
}

​
Generate a simple deliverable after completion

If you need both types, or if the envelope already completed with a standard deliverable, create a simple deliverable manually using the Create Deliverable endpoint. 
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes/{envelope_id}/deliverables
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "type": "simple"
}
You can create multiple deliverables for the same envelope. For example, generate a standard deliverable for your records and a simple deliverable to share with the signer.

​
Select specific documents

Use included_documents to include only certain documents from the envelope. This works with both simple and standard deliverables. 
{
    "type": "simple",
    "included_documents": ["contract"]
}
