Bates numbering

Vellum stamps every page of one or more PDFs with a continuous Bates identifier — prefix, fixed-digit counter, optional suffix — in the order you arrange your exhibits. The counter runs without interruption from one file to the next, the way document production works in a law firm, and a preview shows the first and last number of each file before you confirm. The numbering is computed directly in your browser: your exhibits, sometimes privileged, never pass through a server.

How do you apply continuous Bates numbering across multiple PDFs?

Arrange your exhibits in the order you want, set the prefix, the counter’s fixed digit count and an optional suffix, then run the stamp: the counter continues without interruption from one file to the next, the way document production works in a law firm.

Can I check the numbers before confirming the stamp on all exhibits?

Yes, a preview shows the first and last number of each file before you confirm, so you can catch an ordering or format mistake before final processing.

Do your exhibits, sometimes privileged, pass through a server?

No, numbering is computed directly in your browser: your documents are never sent to a server, and the tool is free to use.
