Cannot open zip files as Adobe saying unsupported or damaged files

​@NatalieFL 

The ZIP file needs to be unzipped before you can open it with Adobe Acrobat. After you unzip the file, you will have a folder with all the individual PDF files.

Do you know how I can prevent the downloads from zipping in the first instance? This has only recently just started happening, for the last 3 years the downloads haven't zipped. I don't have the option to unzip them.

The behaviour has not changed, let me explain the different options.

1. When you download a single document, it will be a PDF file.
2. Depending on your account configuration, there may be a 'combined' download option available to get all documents from a single envelope as one combined document.
3. When downloading multiple envelopes, the output will always be a ZIP file.

Hi, no I have not been able to rectify the issues. I am still having the same message with Adobe. 

Is there any way I can organise a virtual meeting with someone to run through the issue? My IT provider has not been able to rectify it either and said Docusign need to help as the provider.

Hi ​@Melanie.Panguito I still have not been able to rectify my problem. Can you please help?

Hello ​@NatalieFL,

Thank you for your follow-up. Could you please try dragging the documents out of the zip folder and dropping them onto your desktop or into any folder you prefer? If you attempt to open the documents while they remain in the zip folder, Adobe might recognize them as zip files, which could prevent them from being read. Moving them to a different location may help resolve this issue. Should the problem persist, please submit a case so that Technical Support can take a closer look at this issue.

To open a support case in the Docusign Support Center, go to the "Get Support" section and select "Open a Support Case.” Log in using your Docusign credentials and select a case subject. If you have multiple Docusign accounts, choose the appropriate account to continue. Open a case in the Docusign Support Center.

I understand that this situation may have caused some inconvenience, and for that, I sincerely apologize.  Let us know if you need further assistance.
