In legal, business and medical fields, Bates stamping facility is used to put identifying numbers, additional text, current date, etc on PDF documents. By these identifying numbers, the documents are marked as processed and scanned. Attorneys or lawyers are the major users of this Bates Stamping facility but, Adobe Acrobat is not the best suited tool for this identical stamping process. ‘Adobe Acrobat has managed to provide its Bates stamping facility in a manner that makes it virtually useless or highly impractical for Attorneys’ we don’t say this but, Attorneys, who are the primary users of Bates Stamping utilities themselves, say this. The worse thing in Adobe Acrobat is that it overwrites original PDF files in Numbering process. It also doesn’t give any prior warning that it is going to overwrite the original PDF files. If by mistake, the PDF user does wrong Bates Numbering then, he has to go through two long processes of first removing and then, generating Bates Number again after correction. In first process, he has to remove incorrect page numbers and in second process, he has to do correct Numbering again. Acrobat is also not good for doing PDF page stamping on bound documents. Recto Verso format i.e. Left/Right page numbering is done on bound documents and there is no such good provision to do right/left page numbering in Adobe. This recto verso format page numbering can also be called as odd/even page numbering i.e. odd page header on the right and even page header on the left. If you choose to do odd and even page numbering on PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat then, a pop occurs that ask you to select odd or even ranges for page but, you can select one at a time either odd or even, If you want to do both odd and even page numbering then, you have to go through the process twice. First, you have to do all odds and in second time, you have to do all evens. “If Adobe Acrobat is not a good tool for adding page numbers in PDF file then, which is good tool?”- You can try PDF Bates Numberer software to make the process of adding Bates Numbers in PDF file, more powerful and better.
