Pleading Line Numbers
Rule a PDF as pleading paper — numbered lines down the left margin with the double margin rule, at the 28-line or 25-line count your court requires.
Good to know
- Line spacing is derived from the printable height, so 28 lines land where a 28-line template expects them.
- The double left rule and the right rule can each be turned off.
- This rules the paper — it does not reflow the text already on the page to meet the lines.
Your files stay on your machine
This tool runs entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent to a server — close the tab and every trace is gone.
These are the free ones — see the full suiteHow big a file can it take?
There is no upload, so there is no upload limit — but the work happens in this tab, which means your browser’s memory is the budget. Nothing here will refuse a file for being large; a big enough one simply gets slow and, eventually, reloads the tab. The figures below are rules of thumb on a desktop browser, not enforced caps. On a phone or tablet, expect a good deal less.
- Pages are thumbnailed for the preview, so page count binds — comfortable to around 500 pages, sluggish past 1,500.
- Ruling itself is only a few lines drawn per page, so the download is quick once the previews are up.
Password-protected PDFs are declined whatever their size — unlock the file first. If a run does die on a long document, splitting it into volumes and working through them one at a time is the reliable way round it.
