Legal Bates Numbering & Indexing
Preparing litigation bundles, evidentiary discovery, or administrative archives requires every single page across hundreds of separate PDF files to be marked with a continuous, tamper-evident reference number. Manual labeling takes days and often results in pagination errors that courts reject.
Applies consecutive Bates numbering across your entire batch of documents in seconds. Set your custom case prefix (e.g., CASE-, DOSAR-, EVID-), starting number, zero-padding (up to 8 digits), font size, opacity, and positioning (Header Top-Right, Footer Bottom-Right, Bottom-Center). The engine sequentially processes subfolders, producing an uninterrupted audit sequence and an indexing manifest.
Customize your prefix, starting index, and position to watch the live legal page stamp update:
- 1Configure your case prefix and suffix (e.g., DOSAR-2026- or VOL-1-).
- 2Set the starting page counter (e.g., 000001) and padding digits (4 to 8 digits).
- 3Choose on-page placement (Top-Right, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Center) and adjust font size and margin offsets.
- 4Select your document directory containing mixed multi-page PDFs and subfolders.
- 5Run the engine — every page is stamped sequentially, and a master indexing manifest is prepared.
Yes. DocInspector traverses entire directory structures recursively, applying a continuous, sequential Bates index across all pages of all files without resetting.
Absolutely. You can configure top-right, bottom-right, or bottom-center placement, set custom margins, adjust point size, and select semi-transparent or opaque text.
Yes, a companion borderou manifest is automatically generated, mapping every original filename to its starting and ending Bates range for court submission.
