PDF Bates Numbering — Stamp Tool for Lawyers

Local-first processing — your Privileged PDFs never leave your browser. Just $39.99 one-time. No yearly PDF subscription. Lifetime access. Stop paying expensive yearly fees just to stamp Bates numbers on Discovery documents. PDF Bates Numbering is a no-cloud Bates stamping tool built for US litigators, paralegals, and Discovery teams who can't risk uploading client files to a third-party server. Process every PDF entirely in your browser using PDF-lib. Nothing is uploaded. Nothing is logged. Documents subject to attorney-client privilege, HIPAA confidentiality obligations, or trade-secret protection stay on your machine — supporting your reasonable-efforts obligations under ABA Model Rule 1.6(c). ★ FREE PLAN • Stamp up to 10 PDFs per month • Custom prefix and optional suffix (e.g., SMITH-DEF-000001-CONFIDENTIAL) • Configurable starting number and zero-padding • Six stamp positions (bottom-right is the standard for Discovery) • Three opacity levels (100% / 75% / 50% — for drawings and photos) • Per-page continuous numbering within each batch • 1-page preview before stamping ★ PRO PLAN — $39.99 ONE-TIME • Unlimited PDFs per month • Saved case presets — save up to 20 prefixes (SMITH-DEF-, JONES-PLT-, …) • Per-case continuous numbering — each saved preset remembers its last Bates number, so the next batch automatically picks up where the previous one left off • Lifetime updates, no recurring fees ★ HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the toolbar icon or press Ctrl+Shift+Y (Mac: Cmd+Shift+Y) 2. Drag and drop one or more PDFs into the standalone window 3. Set your prefix (ASCII characters only, e.g., SMITH-, DEF-), starting number, and stamp position 4. Click Stamp — files are processed locally and saved to your Downloads folder ★ WHY LITIGATORS CHOOSE THIS OVER EXPENSIVE PDF SUITES • Local-only — privileged, PHI-bearing, and trade-secret documents never leave your browser • One-time $39.99 vs. an expensive yearly subscription (and rising fees) • No account, no login, no analytics, no telemetry • No "AI features" sending your Discovery to any third-party LLM service • Works offline — suitable for restricted, offline-capable review environments ★ WHO IT'S FOR • Solo and small US law firms handling Discovery • Mid-size firm paralegals stamping production sets • IP litigators protecting trade-secret exhibits • Medical malpractice attorneys handling records subject to HIPAA • Family law attorneys managing sensitive financial disclosures • Insurance defense, employment, and commercial litigators • In-house counsel preparing internal investigations ★ WHAT IT'S NOT • Not a redaction tool (use specialized redaction software for true redaction) • Not a full PDF editor — single purpose: Bates stamping only • Not cloud-based — there is no server, by design • Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs are not supported. Decrypt your PDFs first using another PDF tool before stamping. ★ PRIVACY-FIRST BY ARCHITECTURE There is no server to send your PDFs to. Stamping happens entirely inside your Chrome browser using the PDF-lib library bundled with the extension. The only network request the extension ever makes is to ExtensionPay (Stripe) for the one-time $39.99 purchase — and even then, no PDF content, file name, or document data is shared. Note: Uninstalling the extension removes saved prefix presets and usage counters. Your stamped PDFs remain in your Downloads folder.
