BatesKit
Bates numbering + production checks in your browser
BatesKit stamps continuous Bates numbers across a folder of litigation PDFs — ABC-000001 onward, no gaps — plus confidentiality legends and exhibit labels, then runs five read-only checks over them: metadata, redaction, privileged content, production QA, index. Everything runs in your browser; files never leave the device. A manifest CSV records BegBates, EndBates, pages, SHA-256 per file. No account, no subscription. $19 once, offline-verified licence. Free for one file up to 25 pages.
Maker here. This exists because numbering a production set is a mechanical chore with
non-mechanical stakes: the numbers have to be continuous across every file, and the files
are usually under a protective order, so "upload your folder to our server" is not an
available answer.
So there's no upload step at all. pdf-lib rewrites each PDF inside your tab and writes the
finished files into a folder you choose. Two consequences I like: the privacy claim is
checkable rather than promised — load the page, go offline, run a batch, it still works —
and the tool doesn't get slower because your set is large.
Stated plainly: if you already pay for Acrobat Pro, its batch sequence does the numbering
and you don't need this. It's for the machine without that subscription, the Mac, or the
set that can't be uploaded. No OCR and no redaction either.
Free is one file up to 25 pages with everything enabled, because the only thing that
matters for this kind of tool is whether the output is acceptable on your own document.
$19 once for unlimited, no account. Would like to hear which legend or numbering format
your firm needs that isn't there.
