Sequential legal stamping across files
Set a prefix, digit count and start value — the counter runs continuously across every file in order, like ABC-0001, ABC-0002. Select several PDFs for a full production.
Private by design
Bates prefixes and running codes are applied locally in your browser, so discovery bundles and exhibit sets stay on your device through the whole production.
