Drop a Bates-stamped production and I'll read the labels.
Split by Bates
Split a Bates-stamped production into parts and name each output file from the label already stamped on the page, rather than by page number.
Good to know
- The label is read off the page — give the prefix if the guess picks up the wrong number.
- Detected labels are listed before anything is written, so a bad read is visible first.
- Pages with no readable label fall back to their page number.
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.
- Every page is read for its label and thumbnailed, so page count binds — comfortable to around 500 pages, sluggish past 1,500.
- Bursting a production yields one file per document and the ZIP is built in memory, so a run that produces thousands of files is the case to split into volumes first.
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.
