Missing certificate on completed on API download


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

When using the “combined” API option on Java SDK I don’t get the certificate of completion bundled on the PDF. But, If I use the “archive” option I get a ZIP file with the documents and the CoC.


I need to get the CoC with the compleated action, how to do this?

 

The documentation on the EnvelopesAPI to download documents  “getDocument" states:

You can also use this method to retrieve a PDF containing the combined content of all documents and the certificate [...] To retrieve the combined content replace the `{documentId}` parameter in the endpoint with `combined`

 

the blog says the same thing:

If you choose to download a combined file, you can either get a single large PDF file that includes all your signed documents one after the other, or you can get a ZIP file that contains the documents inside. In either case the Certificate of Completion (CoC) is also included as the final document. The Certificate of Completion is a document that outlines all the activity pertaining to this particular envelope. It is commonly used to ensure the legality of the signatures.

please reference:

The ID of the document to retrieve. Alternatively, you can use one of the following special keywords:

  • combined: Retrieves all of the documents as a single PDF file. When the query parameter certificate is true, the certificate of completion is included in the PDF file. When the query parameter certificateis false, the certificate of completion is not included in the PDF file.
  • archive: Retrieves a ZIP archive that contains all of the PDF documents and the certificate of completion.
  • certificate: Retrieves only the certificate of completion as a PDF file.
  • portfolio: Retrieves the envelope documents as a PDF portfolio.

You need add parameter certificate as true.

Does the portfolio option have the CoC too?
