Plating Palladium from Palladium Nitrate Acid Solution

I have gallons of palladium nitrate solution developed from dissolving a palladium/silver material in nitric acid. The silver was precipitated using HCl and separated from the solution so that mostly palladium nitrate is present in a highly acidic solution.

I would like to electroplate the palladium using copper reticulate and stainless steel electrodes. I need to know what is the recommended pH of the solution, the best chemicals to achieve it, any recommended eH and the best chemicals to achieve it.

Thanks
