# Standard Deliverable

> Generate a signed PDF that includes the signed documents and a detailed audit log of the signing process.

The standard deliverable is a PDF that contains both the signed documents and an audit log. The audit log records every action taken during the signing process and includes a certificate of completion. This is the default deliverable type.

<Check>SignatureAPI deliverables are tamper-proof and secured with a cryptographic seal that [verifies their authenticity](/docs/api/resources/deliverables/verification).</Check>

## Generating a Standard Deliverable

You can generate a standard deliverable in two ways: automatically when the envelope completes, or manually using the Create Deliverable endpoint.

### Automatic (On Envelope Completion)

By default, SignatureAPI automatically generates a standard deliverable when an envelope completes. The deliverable is sent to recipients when it is ready.

The deliverable inherits the envelope's `language`, `timezone`, and `timestamp_format` settings. You can override these by including a `deliverable` object when creating the envelope.

For example, to set the deliverable's audit log language to English while the envelope uses French:

```json Create Envelope (Request) theme={null}
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "title": "Service Agreement",
    "language": "fr",
    "documents": [ //... ],
    "recipients": [ //... ],
    "deliverable": {
        "type": "standard",
        "language": "en"
    }
}
```

### Manual (Create Deliverable Endpoint)

You can also create a standard deliverable manually at any time after the envelope completes, using the [Create Deliverable](/docs/api/resources/deliverables/create) endpoint.

```json Create Deliverable (Request) theme={null}
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes/{envelope_id}/deliverables
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "type": "standard"
}
```

## Customization

### Language

The `language` property sets the language for system-generated text in the audit log, such as labels and the certificate of completion. It does not affect the content of the signed documents.

See [available languages](/docs/api/resources/envelopes/language). Defaults to the envelope language.

### Timezone

The `timezone` property sets the timezone for timestamps in the audit log. It does not affect timestamps inside the signed documents.

See [available timezones](/docs/api/resources/envelopes/timezone). Defaults to the envelope timezone.

### Timestamp Format

The `timestamp_format` property sets the format for timestamps in the audit log. It does not affect timestamps inside the signed documents.

See [available timestamp formats](/docs/api/resources/envelopes/timestamp-format). Defaults to the envelope timestamp format.

### Included Documents

The `included_documents` property specifies which documents from the envelope to include in the deliverable. By default, all documents are included. Accepts between 1 and 10 document keys.

Use this to generate separate deliverables for different documents, or to exclude certain documents from the final PDF.

```json theme={null}
{
    "type": "standard",
    "included_documents": ["contract", "addendum"]
}
```

## Password Protection

To protect your deliverable with password encryption, see [Password Protection](/docs/api/resources/deliverables/password).
