How to Bates Stamp - Adobe Acrobat DC

Bates stamping is a method of assigning a unique document ID to every single page produced in discovery. It used to be a laborious and expensive process. But now, if you have Adobe Acrobat DC, you can do it yourself with just a couple of clicks.

Thank you so much for this! I'm a legal secretary who needed to upgrade my skills to get a job in this time of technology. Yes, I used to Bates stamp documents with the actual Bates stamp! Thank you again so much.

Great video!

[@RamonaBarron-i2w]

Hello, Thank you so much for this video. I really learned a lot about Bates Stamping. I wanted to know how do you bates stamp multiple document at the same time without having to organize pages and physically move everything into one PDF and then bate stamp. That's a lot of trouble. Is there a way to bate stamp the documents at one time ? Thank you.

[@danieladams4888]

Brilliant. Thanks!

[@MikeKoGTC]

thanks for watching!

[@apexathleticvideo5157]

Thanks so much for the videos... very helpful! Do you know if there's a way to batch stamp a bunch of exhibits with individual stamps on each separate document (i.e. D1, D2, D3, etc.)? But also, within each exhibit, stamp the corresponding page number (i.e. D1-001, D1-002, etc.)? I know how to do it individually but I have a ton of exhibits and doing it the usual way with Acrobat will take forever. I'm looking to find a way to do them all at the same time, if possible. Thanks again and I hope you start making more videos again soon.

Thanks this video helped a lot

[@cynhernandez3230]

need to shrink document to appellate margins and bates stamp. My State, CA is 1.5 on sides and 1 inch on top. How do I do this? Second Q is can I bates stamp a portfolio, or what do I have to do to the portfolio before bates stamping?

[@aprilapril5462]

Omg thank you so much !!!!!

[@Myrslokstok]

Thanks great - who could be better then a lawer for this. Personaly I like some kind of Line referenses in the margin to because other people can't orient themself.

[@henryheuer9033]

isn't a good idea to burn in the bates stamp so that it cannot change over time, possibly by accident. How does one burn in the bates stamp and at the same time preserve the bookmarks?

[@victoriareddy3997]

Thank you! All of our exhibits have cover sheets which we don't want bate stamped. How do you start your bate stamping at page 2! Thanks.

[@MikeKoGTC]

hmmm. i'm not sure there's a way to do that. can you bates stamp and then add cover sheets? that will save you a boatload of trouble

[@victoriareddy3997]

I wonder why we can do it on Adobe Acrobat 7 and 10 and will not be able to do it on the more advanced?

[@StephenTinius]

Four years ago, but I hope you found the answer back then. On the "Add Header and Footer" dialog screen (example at 2:00), select "Page Range Options", then for "Pages from:" tell it which "page", which paper page, to start on. For instance, you might want to start numbering after the cover, title and dedication pages, so it would be "Pages from: 4 to 25" - it would then skip three paper pages, then number the rest from 1 to 22.

[@janeturner4621]

Please explain how to bates at bottom of document when it says Page 1 of 5 - how do you get this to appear ?

[@frankg9033]

When I use the stamp on a 30 page exhibit , The stamp number are not moving sequentially throughout , like Exhibit 01 Page of 30. The second file says 01 instead of 02

[@frankg9033]

What part in the settings makes the page numbers count automatically?

[@janeturner4621]

Not explaining how to do the couple of clicks to have it show on each page

[@Channel-cw9om]

Is enhance scans still an option or is it something else now?

[@joscelynerosenfield6634]

Great! But how if a have several PDF s?

[@marsboyo1995]

How do I add Bates numbers to existing file names. E.g., "mb medical records" renamed as " 000654-000675 mb medical records" ?

[@EpitomeofALady22]

Our department with the state switched deapartments. IT mad ethe big switch last night. Now I only see Acrobat Reader and not Pro. I do not see bates numbering in Reader. I only see 5 tools. I only see stamp, stamps palette and custom stamps. I guess I will look up how to create a custom stamp. Ugh!!!😩 Update: I can just use fill and sign for now. Type out Exhibit _______.

[@dl7281]

Thank you!!!

[@ThatRandomJazz]

OMG, thank you! I was getting so annoyed trying to figure this out, lol.

[@MikeKoGTC]

I'm glad I could help!

[@cryptocounsel9022]

How often you show up to an exhibit exchange and I say “Bate Stamp” and they have no clue what I am referring to.

[@MikeKoGTC]

smh

[@waltzie88]

This is the old version which was great. Just got the 2023 and all changed and user unfriendly. A disaster

[@kennethijama1934]
