為 PDF 加上 Bates 編號
在每一頁蓋上連續的控制編號。
運作方式
上傳您的 PDF，設定前置字元與起始編號，然後下載結果。每一頁都會依序取得下一個補零編號。
什麼是 Bates 編號？
這是蓋在文件集每一頁上的連續控制編號（例如 ABC0000001）——法務與文件管理團隊用來讓每一頁在整批文件中都能唯一辨識的標準做法。
我可以自訂起始編號與前置字元嗎？
可以——選擇任何前置字元（例如您的案件或批次代碼）以及起始編號；數字會補零到 6 位數。
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.
