• $BatesNo – the Bates Number Dynamic text allows inputting the
starting number. $BatesNo[3], would mean that the Bates number
start would be 3 instead of 1. The default is however set to always
start with 1.
• $BatesTotalPages – this variable equals the total number of pages in
the job from the starting number. If there are one hundred pages in
the job, starting at point 00025, $BatesTotalPages = 000125
• Applying in Batch - When applying Bates stamps in batch, the Bates
number increments over documents, the counter does not reset.
When applying in batch you must stamp over a folder, not a selection
of files otherwise the total number of pages will not be calculated
correctly.
