Index and organize your legal documents and case files online with PDFMount's Bates numbering tool. The stamping utility provides a secure workspace where you can define custom prefixes, suffixes, and consecutive page sequences to stamp onto your PDF pages. The engine writes vector text layers directly into the PDF content stream coordinates, maintaining layout fidelity and font structures. This is essential for legal discovery processes where consecutive numbering is required. All processing runs on secure, isolated server nodes, keeping your confidential papers protected. You can configure margin offsets and select page positions to ensure standard formatting without downloading desktop software. Let our utility index files for discovery workflows now.
Guest users can upload and index PDF documents up to a maximum file size limit of 25MB per file. Free registered accounts are granted uploads of up to 50MB per file, while Pro subscribers can upload files up to 500MB. Our system does not restrict the number of pages processed in a single run. The stamping engine handles large multi-page legal briefs in under ten seconds.
Yes, you can stamp multiple documents consecutively using our advanced configuration panel. The tool allows you to specify any starting page number for the current sequence. This ensures that when you upload subsequent files, you can resume numbering from the next consecutive integer. This is highly useful for organizing multi-volume discovery sets.
No, our tool does not rasterize your pages or downsample any embedded graphics during the indexing process. The engine stamps Bates numbers as independent vector text objects directly inside the PDF structure. Your original fonts, page boundaries, and image details are preserved without formatting loss. The output document remains fully searchable, readable, and zoom-friendly for digital viewing.
No, PDFMount maintains a strict policy against injecting watermarks or promotional logos onto client files. The output PDF remains clean and matches your original layouts exactly. The stamped Bates numbers are formatted according to your selected style. This ensures that the document remains fully ready for official B2B transactions and court filings.
We implement advanced encryption protocols using TLS 1.3 to safeguard all data transfers. The indexing process is executed on isolated sandbox containers to prevent access by unauthorized third parties. All files are purged from our secure, volatile cache exactly 60 minutes after processing finishes. We do not keep logs or backup files of your sensitive records.
Our Bates numbering utility operates by injecting consecutive serial numbers directly into the PDF page dictionary structures as vector elements. The placement algorithm calculates page heights and widths, ensuring that prefix, number, and suffix strings are placed outside main content boundaries to avoid overlapping. Because the numbers are stamped as native vector text stream overlays, they remain readable at any zoom factor and do not alter underlying image DPI or page scaling. This layout preservation guarantees that documents are fully prepared for litigation workflows.
Confidentiality is built directly into our document processing pipelines. All file uploads and downloads are encrypted using TLS 1.3 protocols, protecting your case files from external surveillance. The Bates numbering service executes within isolated sandbox environments that process data in memory without disk logging. Our strict zero retention policy means we do not read, store, or share your legal agreements. All files are permanently destroyed exactly 60 minutes after execution, leaving no residual records on our servers.
This stamping utility is designed primarily for legal teams, corporate departments, and administrative professionals. Law firms use the tool to index trial records, discovery packages, and transaction folders consecutively. Corporate administrators use Bates stamping to organize multi-page financial audits, customer directories, and invoice portfolios for audit compliance. Students and researchers can index massive reference archives for systematic reviews. PDFMount provides a free, fast, browser-native alternative to complex, expensive legal software.
