A practical guide
Make the record's page references explicit.
- Choose the project PDF and select standard or Bates style.
- Set the start value, position and any Bates format fields.
- Preview page geometry and verify the sequence and identifiers.
Try this example
Add standard page numbers starting at 1 to an eight-page test report. Check that labels avoid the measurement tables and that the last page carries 8.
Before
- Unnumbered pages
After
- Pages labelled 1,2,3
Before you start: Bates settings apply to this one PDF, not a multi-file legal production; the overlay does not alter existing page labels.
Add a text status markWhat you get
Add page numbers to a PDF and choose their position, starting number and style.
Limits and important details
Bates: one PDF up to 10 MiB/200 pages, 40 MiB output, printable ASCII prefix up to 24 characters and suffix up to 16, 1-9 minimum digits and counters up to 999999999. This is not multi-file batch numbering or a certified legal workflow. Numbering adds text; it does not change PDF page labels or remove existing numbers. Overlays may cover content. Pages smaller than 72 pt and unsupported rotations are rejected.
Example
Start at 3 for a report with a separate cover and contents page. Choose bottom center, then Preview latest PDF after conversion.
