How Bates Numbering works

Gojli's Bates Numbering tool stamps a sequential, zero-padded identifier — the standard used for legal document production — onto every page, with a custom prefix and control over exactly where it appears.

  1. Upload your PDF — Choose the PDF file you want to Bates-stamp.
  2. Set the prefix and starting number — Choose a prefix (e.g. ABC-), a starting number, and how many digits to zero-pad to, then click or drag on the preview to place the stamp.
  3. Download your stamped PDF — Gojli stamps every page and gives you a direct download link.
