Wekea PDF Namba za Bates
Wekea namba za udhibiti zinazofuatana kwenye kila ukurasa.
Jinsi inavyofanya kazi
Pakia PDF yako, weka kiambishi na namba ya kuanzia, kisha upakue matokeo. Kila ukurasa unapata namba inayofuata kwa mpangilio, yenye sufuri mbele.
Namba za Bates ni nini?
Ni namba ya udhibiti inayofuatana (mfano ABC0000001) inayowekwa kwenye kila ukurasa wa seti ya nyaraka — njia ya kawaida timu za kisheria na za kumbukumbu hutumia kuhakikisha kurasa zinatambulika kipekee katika uwasilishaji.
Naweza kuweka namba yangu ya kuanzia na kiambishi changu mwenyewe?
Ndiyo — chagua kiambishi chochote (kama msimbo wako wa kesi au kundi) na namba ya kuanzia hesabu; namba hizo zinaongezwa sufuri mbele hadi kufikia tarakimu 6.
Where does the Bates number appear on the page?
In the corner of each page, positioned to stay clear of the page's normal content, consistent with standard legal production formatting.
Can I run this again on an already-numbered PDF to continue the sequence?
Yes — set the starting number to continue where the last batch left off, useful when numbering a document set across multiple upload sessions.
Is Bates numbering the same as page numbers?
Similar idea, but Bates numbers usually include a fixed prefix (like a case ID) and stay constant across an entire document production, not just one file — use Add Page Numbers instead for plain sequential numbers without a prefix.
Why do legal teams use Bates numbers instead of regular page numbers?
Because a normal page number resets with every file, and Bates numbers don't. In litigation, e-discovery, and depositions, every page across an entire document production needs one identifier that's never repeated, so anyone on the case can cite an exact page — like ABC0000042 — instead of describing which file and which page inside it. That's also why it's sometimes called “Bates stamping.”
Can I add a suffix after the number, not just a prefix?
Not currently — this tool adds your prefix before the number (like CASE-0000001), with no separate suffix field after it. If your production needs text after the number too, you'll need to add that separately for now.
