Local PDF Tools
Bates stamping, exhibit stamps, metadata scrubbing, merge and split, built for legal documents. Free, no signup, nothing installed, nothing uploaded.
Bates stamping
Numbers run continuously across every file in the batch, in list order. You also get a CSV index (file, first and last number, page count) for your production log.
Exhibit stamp
A bordered exhibit sticker on the first page (or every page) of each file.
Scrub metadata
Removes the document information fields (title, author, keywords, creator, producer, dates) and the embedded XMP metadata packet, and shows you what it found. Author names and internal titles in metadata are a known way privileged information walks out the door.
Merge
Combines the files into one PDF, in list order. Use the arrows to reorder.
Split / extract pages
One PDF in, one file out per range. Ranges like 1-3, 7, 9-12.
