Explanation
With estar it expresses the state resulting from an action: la puerta está cerrada (someone closed it; now it's closed). As a plain adjective it modifies nouns: un documento firmado, ideas equivocadas.
Absolute constructions open formal sentences: terminada la reunión, salimos ('the meeting over, we left'). Agreement applies everywhere except after haber.
