Stamp page numbers — or fixed-width Bates numbers with a prefix — anywhere on the page, with a start value and padding you control. All in your browser.
The format field is a small template. {n} is the counter, {total} the number of pages being stamped, and {page} the absolute page position in the document. So Page {n} of {total} produces the familiar footer, while ACME-{n} with padding six produces ACME-000123.
Without padding, page 9 sorts after page 10 in every file manager and spreadsheet on earth, and citations become ambiguous. Zero-padding to a width comfortably above your page count solves both problems permanently — six digits is the usual convention.
Bottom-right is the standard for Bates numbering because it survives stapling and hole-punching and is where reviewers look. Bottom-centre suits ordinary documents. Whichever you pick, check a page with a full-width table: if the number collides with content, crop the pages slightly first — the crop control is in the same editor.
Add a watermark in the same pass, or assemble the production first with Merge PDF so one continuous numbering run covers the whole set.
A sequential, fixed-width identifier stamped on every page of a document set, usually with a party or matter prefix — ACME-000123. It is standard in litigation and discovery because every page in a production gets one unique, citable number.
Set the format to something like ACME-{n}, choose a start number, and set zero-padding to 6. The counter increments per page and keeps its width, so sorting and citing both work.
Yes — number the first document, note the last number used, then set “Start at” to the next value for the second document. The counter is explicit precisely so a production can span files.
Yes. Use the page range field to number, say, 2- and the counter starts on page two, leaving the cover clean.
No. One format, start value, padding and position apply to the selected page range in each export. For separate front-matter and body styles, number the ranges in separate passes.
