TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/paperless-XXXXXX) FILENAME="${TMPDIR}/<sanitized_title>.pdf" curl -s -L \ -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \ -o "$FILENAME" \ "${PAPERLESS_URL%/}/api/documents/<ID>/download/"

<objective> Downloads the archived PDF for a Paperless-ngx document by its numeric ID. When invoked from a Telegram channel, sends the file directly to the chat. </objective>

<quick_start> /paperless:view-document <document id>

Example: /paperless:view-document 774 </quick_start>

<setup> Read `<base_dir>/../../references/auth.md` and follow the credential loading instructions to obtain `TOKEN`. </setup>

<argument_parsing> Parse $ARGUMENTS for a document ID (integer). If none provided:

Usage: /paperless:view-document <document id>
Example: /paperless:view-document 774

</argument_parsing>

<workflow> **Fetch metadata:**

http --ignore-stdin -b \
  GET "${PAPERLESS_URL%/}/api/documents/<ID>/" \
  "Authorization:Token $TOKEN" \
  "Accept:application/json; version=6"

See <base_dir>/../../references/document-display.md for not-found handling and filename sanitization rules. Extract title, archived_file_name, original_file_name.

Download:

Prefer the archived version. Use curl for binary downloads:

TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/paperless-XXXXXX)
FILENAME="${TMPDIR}/<sanitized_title>.pdf"

curl -s -L \
  -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \
  -o "$FILENAME" \
  "${PAPERLESS_URL%/}/api/documents/<ID>/download/"

Verify the file is non-zero size. Pass ?original=true only if the user explicitly requests the original file.

Output:

Read <base_dir>/../../references/document-display.md for Telegram and CLI output format. </workflow>

<success_criteria>

Document metadata fetched successfully
File downloaded to temp directory with non-zero size
In Telegram: file sent to chat via reply tool
