Lay Bates Document For Free

Bates Numbers are added to PDF files in the header and footer to identify pages. These numbers will often go in ascending order, meaning each consecutive page will automatically have a larger number on it. Bates Numbers can be paired with text or other objects in the document where they may appear.

The Board strongly encourages briefs and accompanying exhibits to be sequentially numbered, also known as Bates Numbering. Bates Numbering can either be done within the PDF itself starting at the first page of the document or it can be handwritten at the bottom right hand corner of the page.

Using Acrobat DC Pro, you can automatically apply Bates numbering as a header or footer to any document or to documents in a PDF Portfolio (If the PDF Portfolio contains non-PDF files, Acrobat converts the files to PDF and add Bates numbering). You can add custom prefixes and suffixes, as well as a date stamp.

Bates numbering is a method of sequentially numbering pages with a reference identifier to make them easier to locate and reference. This could be as simple as sequential numbers like ?0001? and ?0002,? or it may include alphanumeric strings (such as ?ABC_0001? and ?ABC_0002?).

But, consistent with The Bluebook, the first citation should make it very clear what is being referenced, such as (Bates Jones000001) or (Bates d123-002), and subsequent consecutive cites should follow the usual practice of Id. followed by the page number, such as (Id. 000017) or (Id. -017).

Select the Edit ribbon. Click "Insert," then "Bates Numbering," and Add. Click "Add Files" in the new dialog box and select all the files that you wish to number. You can also apply the scheme to any documents currently open in Power PDF.
