1. 步骤 1：上传诉讼证据 PDF 文件

打开 PDFnoted 网站（或桌面版），点击「Upload PDF」，选择需编页的证据文件（支持单文件或多文件合并后统一编号）。确保文档已去敏感信息且为最终定稿版。

2. 步骤 2：配置 Bates 编号格式

在「Bates Numbering」面板中，输入前缀（如 'PLAINTIFF-2024-'）、起始编号（如 1001）、位数（默认6位，生成 PLAINTIFF-2024-001001）、字体大小/颜色/位置（推荐右下角、8pt 黑色 Arial）。PDFnoted 实时预览效果。

3. 步骤 3：应用并导出带编号的 PDF

点击「Apply Bates」，PDFnoted 将逐页自动添加不可编辑的透明水印式编号（符合法院技术规范）。完成后点击「Download PDF」，获得含完整 Bates 编页的合规输出文件，保留原始书签与超链接。

1. Step 1: Upload Your Litigation Evidence PDF

Open PDFnoted (web or desktop), click 'Upload PDF', and select your evidence file(s). You can upload multiple files—they’ll be merged and numbered sequentially. Confirm the PDF is redacted and finalized before proceeding.

2. Step 2: Configure Bates Number Format

In the 'Bates Numbering' panel, enter your prefix (e.g., 'PLAINTIFF-2024-'), starting number (e.g., 1001), digit count (default 6 → 'PLAINTIFF-2024-001001'), plus font size/color/position (recommended: bottom-right, 8pt black Arial). PDFnoted renders live preview instantly.

3. Step 3: Apply & Export the Bates-Stamped PDF

Click 'Apply Bates'—PDFnoted overlays non-editable, transparent watermark-style numbers on every page (court-compliant). Then click 'Download PDF' to save the final version, preserving original bookmarks and hyperlinks.

小贴士：✅ 提前命名前缀（如 'DEF-2024-MOTION-01'）便于归档；✅ 打印前用「预览模式」检查每页编号是否清晰可见；✅ 避免使用中文或特殊符号作前缀——部分法院系统仅识别 ASCII 字符。

Tips: ✅ Use ASCII-only prefixes (e.g., 'DEF-2024-MOTION-01') for court system compatibility; ✅ Preview all pages before printing to verify numbering clarity; ✅ Avoid Chinese characters or symbols—many e-filing systems require strict ASCII compliance.

常见问题

FAQ

Bates 编号会覆盖原文内容吗？

不会。PDFnoted 默认将编号以半透明水印形式叠加在页面右下角（可调），不遮挡文字或图像，且不修改原始文本层，完全符合法院对‘非侵入式标注’的要求。

能否为多个 PDF 文件连续编号（如文件1→1001–1200，文件2→1201–1500）？

可以。PDFnoted 支持多文件上传并自动按上传顺序合并，再统一编号。例如上传3个PDF共42页，设置起始号1000，则生成1000–1041，确保证据链编号无断点。

生成的 Bates PDF 是否被法院接受？

是的。PDFnoted 输出符合 PDF/A-1b 标准，编号为矢量文本（非图片），可复制、搜索、无障碍访问，且无隐藏元数据，已被美国联邦法院及多地州法院实务验证。

Will Bates numbers overwrite existing content?

No. PDFnoted places numbers as semi-transparent watermarks (configurable position), never overwriting text or images. It preserves the original content layer—fully compliant with court requirements for non-intrusive annotation.

Can I apply continuous Bates numbering across multiple PDFs?

Yes. PDFnoted merges uploaded PDFs in order and applies sequential numbering across all pages. E.g., 3 files totaling 42 pages + start number 1000 = Bates range 1000–1041—ensuring unbroken chain-of-custody numbering.

Are Bates-numbered PDFs from PDFnoted accepted by courts?

Yes. PDFnoted outputs PDF/A-1b–compliant files; Bates numbers are vector text (not raster images), enabling search, copy, and accessibility—no hidden metadata. Validated in U.S. federal and multiple state court filings.
