A PDF workflow for legal work

Legal documents demand precision and confidentiality. PDFs are the medium of the profession, and a disciplined workflow avoids costly mistakes.

Bates numbering

Apply consistent Bates numbers across a document set for discovery, with a matter prefix and zero-padded sequence.

Redact by removing content, not covering it, and strip metadata — the two failures that leak privileged information.

Assembling exhibits

Merge exhibits in order, add a cover and index, and flatten before serving.
