Frequently Asked Questions
Can I position Bates numbers in the lower-right corner of each page?
Yes. You can place Bates stamps in the bottom-right, bottom-center, or top-right margins, ensuring existing legal stamps are not obscured.

No. Bates numbering is injected into the PDF stream as a vector text overlay, preserving 100% of original photo and scan resolutions.
What happens if an exhibit has landscape orientation pages?
Our layout engine detects landscape orientation on individual pages, positioning the Bates stamp correctly in the intended reading corner.
