I have been trying out a great little Automator Action for Mac OS X Tiger called Number Stamper 1.0. It is from Bee Documents.
The image at the right shows what it actually looks like on one of my documents. It was so easy to do that anyone can do it.
As described by Bee Documents:
Number Stamper is an Automator Action for Mac OS X Tiger that adds searchable number stamps to PDF Documents. Common practice for legal case documents, bates numbering is useful for the organization of all types of document sets. Numbered pages allow you to track documents in a database and match duplicates to originals when files are printed out or copied.
Number Stamper is perfect for stamping scanned document archives. Scan your documents to PDF, then stamp them with an electronic bates number. Stamps created with Number Stamper can be searched using Apple’s Spotlight feature. Never lose a document again!
This is just one more example of what one can do with a Mac in a law office. And it is so easy to do.
Another good Bates stamper for Mac is Easy Bates: http://www.pdfsnake.com/easybates/
