# Download Form

> Returns a short-lived signed URL to download a form's **current version**
original uploaded file, addressed by its stable `FM-XXXX` `number`. Works
for both DOCX templates and static PDF forms — the file you get back is the
DOCX (templates) or PDF (static forms) exactly as it was uploaded.

Fetch the bytes with a plain `GET` of `downloadUrl` — they come straight
from cloud storage, never through this API. The URL is signed with an
`attachment; filename="<fileName>"` content disposition and expires at
`expiresAt` (15 minutes); request a fresh one instead of caching it.

Pair this with [List Forms](./list-forms) to discover a form's number.

**Required permission:** `forms:read`
