How to Free Bates Numbering Software Alternative — Step by Step
1. Open the free Bates Numbering tool at PdfXpo.com — no account, no install. Drag in the PDF you are producing; it loads in your browser, so the file (and its privileged contents) is never uploaded to a server.
2. Set your Bates prefix (e.g. ABC), the starting number, digit padding, and where the stamp sits on the page. Apply it across the entire document — hundreds or thousands of pages — in one pass, with consistent, sequential numbering.
3. Download the Bates-stamped PDF instantly. Every page carries a unique, sequential identifier ready for production, deposition, or filing — with no watermark and no per-page charge.
