Download and Store Documents

You can export documents in Nitro Sign. You can download a document to your local computer or copy it to a supported cloud storage location.

In addition to downloading completed documents, Nitro Sign lets you download an envelope while it is still waiting for signature. This can help you save or review the current version of an envelope before all recipients have signed.

How to Download an Envelope while it is Waiting for Signature

  1. Select My documents in the left menu of the eSign dashboard.
  2. Locate the envelope with a Waiting for signature status which you wish to download
  3. Select the More actions menu for that envelope.
  4. Select Download In Progress
  5. Click Continue to confirm.

Nitro Sign will prepare your documents in the background. Once ready, you will receive an email with attachment or download link. (The download link in the email is valid for 12 hours. If it expires, you can return to the envelope and request a new download at any time.)

Note: Documents downloaded while an envelope is still in progress are not digitally sealed. Completed signatures may appear visually on the document, while pending fields remain blank. The final sealed document is created once the signing workflow is complete.
