Add a Bates numbering header or footer (Acrobat Pro)
Bates numbering is a method of indexing legal documents for easy identification and retrieval. Each page of each
document is assigned a unique Bates number that also indicates its relationship to other Bates-numbered documents.
Bates numbers appear as headers or footers on the pages of each PDF in the batch.
The Bates identifier is referred to as a number, but it can include an alphanumeric prefix and suffix. The prefix and
suffix can make it easier to recognize the central subject matter of the files.
Note: Bates numbering is unavailable for protected or encrypted files and some forms.
For a video on using Bates numbering in a PDF Portfolio, see blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw .
Add Bates numbering
When designating documents for Bates numbering, you can add PDFs, PDF Portfolios, and any non-PDF files that can
be converted to PDF. The process converts non-PDF file types to PDF, and then adds Bates numbers to the resulting
PDF. If you add Bates numbering to a PDF Portfolio, any non-PDF files in the PDF Portfolio are replaced with the
converted and numbered PDFs.
1 Choose Tools > Pages > Bates Numbering > Add Bates Numbering.
2 In the Bates Numbering dialog box, click Add Files, and choose Add Files, Add Folders, or Add Open Files. Then
select the files or folder.
Note: If you select a folder containing files that Acrobat does not support for PDF conversion, those files are not added.
If any files are password-protected, one or more messages appear, in which you must enter the correct password.
