What is Bates numbering?

A legal and business convention that gives every page a unique, sequential identifier for reference and discovery, usually a prefix plus a zero-padded number.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Stamping happens entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored, which you can verify by turning off your Wi-Fi — essential for legal documents.

Can I control the format?

Yes — set the prefix, the starting number and how many digits to pad to.
