This runs in the Acrobat app - there is no separate API for this task.
A parent template is the original document that you prepare for signatures. When you use 'Send in Bulk', this single template is used to create many individual copies, called child agreements, for each person who needs to sign.
No, when you use 'Send in Bulk', each signer receives their own independent agreement. They will not see the names or information of other signers. Each agreement has its own separate audit trail for privacy and security.
