02

Set the prefix, start value, width, increment, position, and page range while previewing the selected document.

03

Generate one Bates-numbered PDF per staged file with deterministic continuation across the queue order.

01

Generate legal-style Bates labels with fixed-width numbering.

Common questions

Does Bates numbering continue across multiple files?

Yes. The staged file order drives continuation in the current browser tab, and the workspace previews the current label before export.

Can I change a Bates prefix after export?

Not in place. The current workflow generates fresh PDFs from the staged source files, so changing the prefix later means regenerating from the originals.
