The Bates numbers are printed on each page at the specified position, using the selected font and color. Bates numbering is a unified way to refer to and track documents and pages by number rather than name. A Bates number is normally a series of letters followed by sequential numbers. The position of the text, the type, the color and the size of the font used to print the Bates numbers can all be specified.
In order to specify Bates numbering, select the Enable Bates Numbering checkbox. More than one Bates Number format can be necessary to be used in different documents (for example, different cases may require different starting numbers, prefixes, and so on). BiBatchConverter provides the user with a list of existing (previously saved) formats. The user simply selects the required format from a drop-down list and the document is ready to be printed.
