Create stable review IDs for a document pack
A reviewer wants labels such as CASE-000101 through CASE-000106.
Open Bates numbering →Follow these steps
- Choose the supported source file or files from your device.
- Enter the prefix and starting number for your identifiers.
- Export and check the first and last identifiers.
The document and the intended outcome
A reviewer wants labels such as CASE-000101 through CASE-000106. Set prefix, starting value and digit count, then compare the first and last identifiers after export.
Make this example work for your file
For a review bundle, choose a prefix that identifies the matter and a start value that follows previous batches. Record the first and last identifiers. Duplicating a labelled file later can create repeated identifiers.
Choose only the settings this case needs
Set Prefix, Suffix, Number of digits and Starting number. Keep a register of the intended range so later batches do not reuse identifiers accidentally.
When the example needs a different approach
Reduce font size, shorten the prefix or use a clearer margin position. Check the longest identifier in the batch.

Check the result
These are visual identifiers, not proof of authenticity. Check the labeling requirements of the recipient.
Keep the original. When this task produces a file, reopen the download in the application where you will use it and inspect the affected pages. An illustration explains the operation; it is not a recorded processing test.
Practical tips
- Set Prefix, Suffix, Number of digits and Starting number. Keep a register of the intended range so later batches do not reuse identifiers accidentally.
- Choose the next starting value or a distinct prefix before exporting the next pack. The tool does not maintain a central case-wide numbering register.
- Reduce font size, shorten the prefix or use a clearer margin position. Check the longest identifier in the batch.
Questions
Two packs share the same IDs?
Choose the next starting value or a distinct prefix before exporting the next pack. The tool does not maintain a central case-wide numbering register.
A label is clipped or too wide?
Reduce font size, shorten the prefix or use a clearer margin position. Check the longest identifier in the batch.
What is this tool useful for?
Give pages sequential reference labels.
What should I check in the result?
