# The document

> PDF or DOCX files within an envelope for signing or informational purposes

A **document** is a file within an envelope. It can be either a signable item, such as a contract, or for informational purposes only, like a cover letter. It can be either in PDF or docx format.

Using [templates](/docs/integrations/power-automate/documents/templates), documents can be generated programmatically by combining a static template with dynamic data.

## Relationships

A document belongs to an [envelope](/docs/integrations/power-automate/envelopes/envelope).

## Places

[Places](/docs/integrations/power-automate/places/place) are specific areas in a document where recipients can perform actions, such as [signing](/docs/integrations/power-automate/places/signature) or entering data. They can also include information generated during the signing process, like [signing dates](/docs/integrations/power-automate/places/date).

You can position places in the document either by using a [placeholder](/docs/integrations/power-automate/places/positioning#placeholders) or by setting them in a [fixed position](/docs/integrations/power-automate/places/positioning#fixed-positions).

These places are specified in the `places` array within the Document object. Fixed positions are defined in the `fixed_positions` array.
