Is there a way to get back the original unsigned document that was sent to DocuSign after it is signed/completed?

Question

I send the document to DocuSign in draft status. Then user(contract owner) logs into DocuSign, adds additional signers and tags then sends the document for signing.

Is it possible to get the original unsigned document(pdf) that was sent after the document is completed via the API?

The reason I need the original document is to make sure that the user(contract owner) has not changed/modified the document in DocuSign. I want to make sure the signed document is exactly the one I sent via API.

DocuSign does not have granular permissions to block changes to the documents when the Envelope is in draft status.

回复：是否有办法取回在签名/完成后发送到DocuSign的原始未签名文档？

答案：不幸的是，没有。将原始文档上传到DocuSign后，它们会立即转换为“平面”（无逻辑）PDF。然后将原始文档丢弃。

作为一种解决方法，您可以以编程方式创建模板，然后从该模板创建信封。然后，用户可以标记文档而无权更改文档。请参阅用例8，以编程方式为代码示例创建模板。这些在eg-03系列示例中。例如PHP code example。

或者更好的是，更新您的应用程序以为用户标记文档。

我们正在研究使信封中的文件能够被锁定的想法。请要求您的DocuSign业务或支持联系人将您的公司信息添加到DocuSign内部发行号SMPI-236。
