Get Deliverables Without the Audit Log

Generate a clean signed PDF without audit log pages using the simple deliverable type

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"]
}
