What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
Each page is stamped with the next identifier in the sequence, built from your prefix, suffix, start value and padding width, drawn at the corner position you choose. Existing page content is left as it is.
Where it stops: Numbering runs per job, so if you need one continuous sequence across several files, note the last number used and set it as the start value for the next batch.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
What is a Bates number?
A sequential identifier stamped on each page, usually with a case or party prefix, so any page in a large production can be cited exactly. It is standard practice in legal discovery.
Can I continue numbering across several PDFs?
Yes. Set the start value of each job to one past the last number used, or merge the documents first and number the merged file in one pass.
Will the stamp cover my page content?
Choose a corner position with a margin. If your pages are dense to the edge, add margins first so the stamp has clear space.
