Output verification
Always review the generated documents
BatesBundle automates repetitive file operations. It does not decide whether a document set is legally, factually or procedurally correct.
Last updated: August 13, 2026What BatesBundle checks
BatesBundle reads supported files, counts pages, can identify byte-for-byte duplicate files, follows the order you set and calculates a continuous identifier range.
What BatesBundle does not check
It does not understand the legal meaning of a document, determine the correct filing order, verify names or dates, perform OCR, validate existing page numbers, remove existing marks, determine whether two visually similar files are duplicates, or certify admissibility or compliance.
Existing numbering
A new identifier is added at the position you select. Existing page numbers or marks remain in place. Use the page preview and select another corner or background if the new identifier could cover content.
Recommended review
Before sending, filing or relying on a batch, check the first and last page of every output PDF, the file order and names, the first and last identifiers, duplicate exclusions, the control report and a representative sample of interior pages. For critical matters, perform a complete review.
Originals and signatures
Original files remain unchanged. Digitally signed PDFs are excluded because changing them can invalidate the signature. Preserve your originals and any signed version separately.
No professional certification
BatesBundle is a productivity tool, not a lawyer, court filing service, records manager or document-certification provider. The user remains responsible for the final review and use of every output.
