Enable Bates Stamping and Imprinting
Bates Stamping is a legal industry standard for organizing and numbering multi-page legal documents. The program provides two methodologies for applying Bates Stamping: Capture Bates Stamping and Migration Bates Stamping. Capture based stamping applies Bates Stamps during the initial capture phase of a workflow. Migration based stamping applies Bates Stamps in the Migration phase of a workflow, which is typically the final phase.
Configure Capture Bates Stamping by enabling the Bates Stamping and Imprinting option and then selecting the associated “Setup” button.
