# GET /papersign/documents/{id}/download

`GET /papersign/documents/{id}/download`

Downloads the completed (fully signed) document as a PDF.

This endpoint responds with a `302` redirect to a short-lived signed URL for the file — follow the redirect (most HTTP clients do so automatically, e.g. `curl -L`) to receive the PDF. If you want the link itself as JSON rather than the file, use `GET /papersign/documents/{id}/completed-document-url` instead.

The document must be completed — every signer must have finished signing — before it can be downloaded. A draft document returns `400`, and a document that has been sent but is not yet completed returns `422`.
Please note that this feature is exclusively available as part of the [Papersign API](https://paperform.co/products/papersign/#pricing).
