Bates Numbers Tab

Use this tab to select the text, font, and position, that will be stamped onto to each page.

Starting Number

Enter the text, including the page number, that will be stamped onto each page of each document. The text can be many lines. The page number can be padded with extra zeros. Easy Bates will automatically find the Bates number in the text and increment it for each page.

See Advanced Stamping and Renaming for details on how to insert the page count, file name, and other variables into the stamp.

Font

Select a font to use for the Bates stamp. There are 72 points in an inch.

Location on Page

Select where on the page the Bates stamp should be added.

Alternate Left & Right

When the location selected is in a left or right corner, this check box is enabled. When checked, Easy Bates will stamp one page on the left side, the next page on the right side, and so on.

Distance From Edge of Paper

Most printers cannot print to the very edge of the paper. So, it is best to add Bates numbers a fraction of an inch from the edge of the paper. Enter the distance from the edge of the paper where the Bates stamp should be added.

Avoid overlapping the page contents.

When checked, this 100% gaurantees that the Bates stamp will not overlap or overwrite existing page contents. Easy Bates will very slightly shrink and shift the page contents so that they do not collide with the Bates stamp.
