Simplify Document Discovery

If you’ve ever had to manually stamp a massive pile of discovery documents, you already know the frustration. Sometimes, before you even get to the stamping phase, you might need to organize your PDF pages just to make sure everything is in the proper sequential order. Once everything is perfectly aligned, applying a Bates stamp becomes incredibly straightforward. You pick your prefix—maybe something like “DEF-EX”—set your starting number, and choose exactly where the stamp should live on the page. Bottom right? Top left? It's completely up to you.

Built for Complex Workflows

Legal and medical workflows are notorious for their strict requirements. Sometimes, a massive file size can throw a wrench into the process, especially when court submission portals have strict megabyte limits. If your newly stamped document ends up being too large for a standard email or an electronic filing system, you can effortlessly compress the PDF to bring the file size down to something more manageable without destroying the text quality.

And what if you need to double-check a document before it goes out? We highly recommend running a quick side-by-side analysis using our visual comparison tool to verify that no critical pages were accidentally omitted or shifted during the Bates stamping process. It's just one extra layer of quality control to ensure total peace of mind.
