docusignapi - Using docusign to sign a batch of PDFs -

we want following:

 1) upload 2 100 or pdfs per day  2) have 2 people digitally sign each individual pdf  2a) first signature needs "certifying signature" - certifying rights allowing 1 additional signature in pdf 

from simple test of system, appears process - via ui:

 1) upload pdfs via browser  1a) browser ui "place" signatures (position etc.) in pdfs (can 100)  2a) first person signs batch of pdfs , sends batch recipient.  2b) recipient signs , "sends them back" 

manually putting in signature fields in 100 pdf documents per day quite task. out pdfs can generated signature form fields.

can docusign system find specific form fields , use specific users - fill in digital signature? possible/and better done api? there example or document describes somewhere?

i'm new system, this/these question(s) might naive.

same underlying document being sent (eg order form) if pdfs different versions of same form or document use template. eg, if documents contracts being sent approval different people, same underlying "contract document," different values customer, dates, etc.

easiest first "tag" document using template via web interface, use same template subsequent documents. when upload new document, docusign automatically suggest of template matches new document, saving additional steps.

if have couple of different underlying documents you'd create matching set of templates. since matching template suggested when user uploads doc, means end users have tag ad hoc documents sending or when document format changes.

documents vary these cases, using template anchor text tabs works well. anchor text tab tells tab (eg "signature" tab) that, rather being placed @ specific page , x/y co-ordinates, tab should instead specific text in document. create template anchor text tab string "sign here:" tab place nearby (you can give x , y offsets text.)

anchor text tabs can text "invisible" on page (same color background). can change docs include invisible strings enable anchor text tabs find correct locations on pages.

api of above can done via api. since templates created when new document set up, may want create template using web ui. then, using api, select specific template should applied doc you've uploaded api.
