Once a document is signed and stored on EchoSign - it can be retrieved as a PDF via the document key.

Is there a formal description (data definition - tags - etc) of the PDF (that is base64 encoded).

Correct answer SimonATS

I have to ask why you need to know this? or for some purpose.

The signed pdf is just a regular albeit encrypted pdf. The pdf spec is I think what you are asking for. the pdf spec is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html

If an agreement was created using multiple docs, the getdocumenrs method let's you grab the individual documents. (except signed widgets)

Simon,

Thanks - Yes the getDocument method

The questions is more about the description of the PDF itself (where is the signature cryptographic elements? How are multiple documents separated within the PDF?)

This may be an Adobe PDF specification that EchoSign uses to build the signed PDF.
