Bates Numbering For Legal Files

Label a production the way discovery expects it: a prefix for the party or the matter, a suffix if you use one, and zero padded digits that turn 7 into 0000007. The label is written into the PDF you download.

One Number Per Page, In Sequence

The counter moves on by one for every page you stamp, giving each sheet a unique identifier instead of a position in the document. Depositions, exhibit lists and e-filings all lean on that single reference.

Continue An Existing Run

Point the start number at wherever your last batch finished and the new pages carry straight on, so a rolling production stays unbroken. Stamp the whole file, or just the range you are handing over.

Bottom Right, Twelve Point, Black

Those are the defaults, because that is where reviewers and clerks look for a Bates stamp. Move it with the nine-position grid, resize it or change the colour when a footer or a local rule gets in the way.

Numbered In Your Browser

Your file is stamped in your browser instead of on a conversion server, so there is no processing queue to wait in, and anything you upload is deleted automatically after two hours.
