Add Bates Numbers (sequential page numbers) to a library of pdf docs using Adobe & import into Excel

It is often helpful to be able to refer to pages within a large library of documents by unique page numbers. Bates numbers, named after inventor Edwin G. Bates of New York City, are sequential page numbers which were historically applied using a mechanical stamp but now software is available to do it paperlessly.
This video explains how to use Adobe Acrobat Pro to Bates number a collection of pdf documents contained in a library of folders in Windows, and then import those Bates numbers into an Excel spreadsheet listing the documents in the library.
The previous video at • Export list of file na... explained the process for creating a spreadsheet listing of all documents within a library of documents in Windows explorer.
A written summary of the method explained in the video is available at: www.legaltree.ca/node/2244

This feature was working great and then all of the sudden Adobe DC stopped generating Bates Number Logs and I can't seem to find anyway to fix it. Any ideas?

[@MichaelDewTechTips]

No, sorry, other than checking the box as shown at around 1:42 I am not aware of any other setting. Did you change the log file location without remembering that you had changed it i.e. button to the right at 1:42?

Michael have you found a solution? This has happened to me as well. I've uninstalled/reinstalled and nothing.

@@MichaelDewTechTips I'm having the same issue as well - the log is simply not created in the designated folder

[@stuartthomas9964]

If i Add to the folder after the fact will it automatically add it?

[@MichaelDewTechTips]

no, this method does not allow that
