  support professionals who need accurate, consistent Bates numbering 
  without exposing client documents to third-party services.
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  Set your prefix (e.g., SMITH-, PLF-, EXHIBIT-), configure your 
  formatting, and the extension stamps each page with a sequential Bates 
  number. Download the numbered PDF instantly. That's it.
  
  FORMATTING CONTROL
  · Custom prefix — any alphanumeric format your case requires
  · Font, size, and color — match your firm's conventions exactly  
  · Page position — place numbers where your practice demands
  
  BUILT FOR LEGAL WORK
  Paralegals, litigation support specialists, legal assistants, and 
  attorneys use this tool because it handles Bates numbering for PDF 
  files the way legal professionals actually need it: fast, precise, 
  and without a subscription.
  
  PRIVACY BY DESIGN
  Client documents are confidential. Unlike web-based Bates numbering 
  tools, this extension processes everything locally inside your 
  browser. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged — ever.

  numbering, in your browser, whenever you need it.
