# Download the contract as a PDF

> The enrolment's document as a file, signed or not, to archive or print.

## What you will get

That enrolment's contract as a PDF, to archive, print or send to someone. The
button is **Download Contract**, in the contract block inside the enrolment.

![Contract block inside the enrolment, with the download button](/Apps/edupay/ajuda/matricula-contrato.png)
*The button sits at the top of the contract block. The two tabs below — summary and audit — show on screen what the PDF carries on paper.*

## What is in the file

The contract text **of that enrolment** — the frozen copy, with the student's
details already filled in. It is not the blank template.

If the school configured the institution's signature, it appears at the foot.

**The file comes out the same before and after signing.** What changes is the
record of acceptance, which is not in the contract: it is in the receipt, which
is a different document.

## When to use it

- **The school's archive**, for the student's folder.
- **Printing**, when the student signs on paper.
- **Sending through another channel**, when the family asks by email or message.

To **prove the student accepted**, the right document is the acceptance receipt,
not this one. The article next door explains the difference.

## How you know it worked

> [certo]
> The browser downloads a PDF named after the enrolment. Opening it, the text is
> complete, with the student's name and the amounts in place of the variables.

## If something goes wrong

> [erro]
> **The button is missing.** The enrolment was created without a contract
> template, so there is no document.
>
> **The PDF came out with a blank patch.** Some template variable had no value —
> usually cohort or address. Complete the record and regenerate the contract, if
> it has not been signed.
>
> **The school's signature is missing.** It is configured under **Settings ›
> Contracts** and has to be filled in before the contract is generated.
