BATES Stamping

Numbering that holds up under scrutiny.

Not a page numberer. Document-production stamping with live preview, conflict detection, and cross-document sequencing — so the numbering scheme you certify is the one that actually went out.

Exhibit A Conflict detection

Flagged before you apply.
Not discovered at filing.

Every page is checked for content under the stamp position. Overlaps get flagged page-by-page — nudge the position or shrink the font before a single stamp lands.

ABC-000017

Page 17 — clear

Stamp area is empty. Applied as configured.

ABC-000014

Page 14 — stamp overlaps content

Dense footer text under the stamp area. Nudge position, shrink font, or accept — your call, made knowingly.

Exhibit B The configurator

Your production protocol,
honored to the pixel.

Prefix to padding, placement to margin — plus stamp styling most tools never bother with: backgrounds, rounded corners, and a live contrast check so the stamp stays legible on any page.

Exhibit C Cross-document sequencing

One sequence across the
entire production set.

Stamp a whole set in one pass. Numbering carries across file boundaries — no gaps, no duplicates, no spreadsheet to track where the last file left off. Sets that run thousands of pages route to dedicated heavy processing automatically.
