Bates Number PDF
Bates numbering applies a unique sequential identifier to every page, which is the standard way legal, court and audit documents are referenced. Set a prefix, a starting number, zero padding and a position, and every page is stamped consistently. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.
