Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bates Numbering used for?

Bates numbering is a systematic method of indexing and identifying legal, medical, and business documents with consecutive, padded serial numbers (e.g., CASE-000104). It is widely required in litigation, regulatory discovery, and archival audits.

Where can I position the Bates Stamp on my pages?

You can align stamps perfectly along standard document margins: Top Left, Top Center, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Center, or Bottom Right, with custom offsets.

Is this Bates stamping process safe for private legal pages?

Absolutely. Stamping is processed inside your browser workspace using local canvas/pdf-lib layers. No document bits are ever recorded or transmitted to outside databases, protecting client secrets.
