Great tool! This service has been so worth it, saved lots of time with my documents, and I always have them available on the go! Highly recommended!!

So convenient and easy! I love it. I use a lot of State and local court forms that you cannot save from their websites. With PDFiller I can fill them in and save them for future use. It seems to do everything I need it for. My favorite thing about this software is that it is so easy to fill in ANY document I may need. Maybe there could be an easier way to print right from your document, without hitting save first. (maybe you already can I just don't know how to do it)

It's easy to work with. Wish there was a "clear all" button so that I wouldn't have to close and open back up to start a new form, but overall, great product

It's great I had no idea how to get started but the process made simple is the best! This is my first year in business for myself and proving income was scary to think about, but now I can handle my profits and losses monthly with accuracy!!

A proper company PDFfiller apparently thought I wanted a subscription to their service after trying it out once. I did not want that, however, and wrote to them to cancel the payment. They cancelled right away, no questions asked. You know a proper company when that is the procedure.

Thank you Customer service chat helped… Thank you Customer service chat helped me find the watermark option. I couldn't see it in the areas I thought it would be. Although I had to exit out of chat because the option was under the chat box. So thank you since I had to close the chat out!

Bates patented his device for applying consecutive numerical stamps to documents in 1892. In the old days, Bates-stamping documents required a person to literally stamp each page of the set of documents to be produced. Clearly, Bates-labels were useful, even essential.
Bates stamping is the process of applying a set of identifying numbers to a document collection of PDFs to label and identify them. You can use Previewer to apply a Bates stamp to documents even if you don't import them into a case spreadsheet. You can define Bates number sequences.
Bates Numbering, also known as Bates Stamping, is an indexing method used for legal, business and medical documents (PDFs in most cases). Bates Numbers are perceived as digital reference points used to uniquely identify and label each page in a set of documents.
Bates numbering is a method of indexing legal documents for easy identification and retrieval. Each page of each document is assigned a unique Bates number that also indicates its relationship to other Bates-numbered documents. Bates numbers appear as headers or footers on the pages of each PDF in the batch.
The Bates Automatic Numbering-Machine or Bates stamper is named after the late 19th century inventor Edwin G. Each time the machine was pressed down onto a sheet of paper, a rotating wheel was moved incrementally.
