BatesKit

BatesKit is a browser-based tool for litigation teams who need to batch-stamp Bates numbers, confidentiality legends, and exhibit labels across large sets of PDFs — and run production QC before anything goes out the door. Designed for solo attorneys, small-firm administrators, and legal support teams, BatesKit processes everything locally in your browser. Files never leave your device, which you can verify by disconnecting from the internet while you work. That makes it a safe fit for confidential, privileged, and sealed material that can't be uploaded to a cloud service. Features: - Batch Bates numbering with prefixes, suffixes, custom start numbers, and step increments across multiple files - Real, searchable text stamped in standard PDF fonts, positioned against the CropBox with page-rotation handling - Opaque backing boxes, confidentiality legends, and per-document exhibit labels - Read-only production checks: metadata leaks, recoverable text under redaction bars or white-out, numbering gaps, mixed page geometry, and scans missing a text layer - Content flags for privileged language, SSNs, emails, and phone numbers - Manifest CSV with BegBates, EndBates, page count, and SHA-256 per document - One-time $19 purchase with no subscription, no account, and no machine binding

BatesKit is a tool that assists users in preparing PDFs for legal submission by ensuring that all documents are correctly numbered and free of issues such as metadata leaks or undetected redaction errors. It performs multiple checks on a batch of PDFs without modifying the original files, providing peace of mind before sending sensitive information. Users can upload multiple PDF files, configure the stamp settings for Bates numbering, and run the checks all within their device’s browser. The output is written to a specified folder, while checks for issues like metadata leaks and redaction errors are done in a read-only manner, ensuring that nothing is altered in the original documents. BatesKit is designed for solo practitioners, small-firm administrators, bid and tender teams, and in-house counsel who need to prepare multiple documents for legal production. Its focus on confidentiality and compliance makes it suitable for urgent document submissions, ensuring users can manage sensitive information accurately and efficiently.
