Bates Numbers
Bates numbering is useful in legal and other fields that need all pages in a document collection to be
labeled, accounted for, and easy to locate. The Bates numbering tool allows you to add a unique number
to each page. You can start the numbering at any point and, when processing more than one document,
continue the numbering across the documents.
