Page numbers vs Bates Numbers - What’s the Difference?

Page numbers can be applied to almost any kind of document. Page numbers make it easier to read, and find pages in the document, such as an e-book or multi-page PDF.

Bates numbers are a method of individually indexing specific pages of a document -- to organize, label, and quickly retrieve specific pages of long (usually legal) documents.

If you need to add Bates numbers to your PDF, instead of page numbers, follow this guide.
