The simple deliverable is a PDF that contains only the signed documents. No audit log pages are included in the output. The audit log is still embedded as metadata within the PDF for verification purposes. Use a simple deliverable when you want a clean document without the audit log visible in the PDF pages. If you need the audit log included in the PDF, use the standard deliverable instead.
SignatureAPI deliverables are tamper-proof and secured with a cryptographic seal that verifies their authenticity.

Generating a Simple Deliverable

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

​
Automatic (On Envelope Completion)

To generate a simple deliverable instead of the default standard deliverable, set the deliverable property when creating the envelope:
Create Envelope (Request)
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

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

​
Manual (Create Deliverable Endpoint)

You can also create a simple deliverable manually at any time after the envelope completes, using the Create Deliverable endpoint.
Create Deliverable (Request)
// POST https://api.signatureapi.com/v1/envelopes/{envelope_id}/deliverables
// X-API-Key: key_test_...
// Content-Type: application/json

{
    "type": "simple"
}

​
Customization

​
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. 
{
    "type": "simple",
    "included_documents": ["contract", "addendum"]
}
