Some people print out large numbers of PDF documents so that they can be Bates stamped for use in a case.
As part of my advocacy for the paperless office, I want make it clear that this is not necessary. We have a free program that will automatically add a bates stamp to PDF documents. It is called A-PDF Number. It is a very simple program that will allow you to position your page numbers at various locations on the bottom of the page, add a prefix or start any number you want. You save the file with a different name so the original does not get altered.
If you want to give it a try, just contact the help desk. It installs in seconds and is very easy to use.
If you have documents in a format other than PDF, you can always "print to PDF" using BioPDF then bates stamp those copies.
This is an easy way to Bates stamp your documents without resorting to paper.
