How to Export multiple documents from EchoSign?

[DLH11]

Is there a way I can export multiple PDF documents that have previously been signed and are in my EchoSign?

Also, once a document is signed is it automatically archived and if not how do I archive a document that shows in my Events?

Lastly, is there an API posted?  The API brings me to the INtegration page which is not terribly useful.

Hi David,

If you are looking to export the signed document using API, you can use method getDocuments if using SOAP Calls and GET /agreements/{agreementId}/documents/{documentId} if using REST API.

Also, if you want to download the PDFs from your EchoSign account directly, you can go to Manage tab and under Signed section, can single click the document and on right hand side, click PDF.

Let me know if that helps!

If the user has 50 to 100 signed documents and wants to export them all to a thumbdrive to provide to legal counsel (for trial), clicking each document in the Manage Tab and then PDF would be VERY tedious and not particularly user friendly.  I am surprised Adobe has not realized that.

Hi David, like Rijul said, you can call getdocument() to retrieve the signed documents. If you have 50-100 documents, you can write code to zip it and download the zip.

I think David's point is: if Echosign wants to scale, they need to make their UI more user friendly as they can't expect all (or even a majority) of their users to use code-based API to download documents. Docusign has already implemented mass download functionality.

Agreed. I am the manager of over 100 Staff. Every year, they have to sign a new contract, and I wish to download all staff contracts after they are signed, rather than individually.
