Deep dive

BATES stamping that keeps up with your caseload.

Not a basic page numberer. Full document-production stamping with cross-document sequencing, live preview, page-level conflict detection, flattening, audit logs, and output renaming — all in the browser.

Cross-Document Sequencing
Upload an entire production set. Stamp each file separately, run one continuous sequence across all files, or merge everything into a single stamped PDF. Your numbering never breaks.
Live Preview & Conflict Detection
See your stamp on the actual page before applying. If your stamp overlaps existing text, we flag it — page by page — so you can reposition or adjust margins before committing.
Flatten Before Stamping
One toggle converts fillable forms, annotations, and interactive elements to static content before stamps are applied. Prevents tampering and ensures stamps can't be stripped from the output.
Automatic File Renaming
Output files are renamed with their BATES range automatically. Choose from patterns like 000001-000284_Discovery.pdf — no manual renaming after download.
PDF & CSV Audit Logs
Export a full stamping report — every file, every page range, every BATES number assigned. Available as a formatted PDF for filing or a CSV for your document management system.
Full Formatting Control
Custom prefix and suffix, 4–7 digit padding, date stamps in four formats, three font families, adjustable size, 9-position placement, custom colors, and optional styled backgrounds.

Built-in WCAG Contrast Checking
Your stamp color and background are validated against WCAG AA standards in real time. A live contrast ratio readout updates as you adjust — so stamps are always legible, even on scanned pages with noisy backgrounds.

Page-Level Conflict Detection
Before stamping, every page is scanned for content overlap. Conflicting pages are flagged with clickable ranges — jump directly to the problem, then adjust margin, placement, or font size to resolve before committing.
