## What is PDF Bates Desk?

PDF Bates Desk is a local-first Bates numbering tool for private PDF packets.

Import a PDF from Files, choose a Bates prefix, start number, digit count, placement, margin, and first-page handling, then preview the run before creating a stamped local PDF copy. The app also builds a CSV manifest with page numbers and Bates labels so packets stay traceable outside the app.

Build a ready-packet proof checklist before handoff: review the first and final Bates labels, stamped page count, placement, manifest rows, and local export status.

The app is intentionally private. It does not upload PDFs, use OCR, read cloud drives automatically, connect to email, file court documents, provide legal advice, require an account, use ads, use analytics SDKs, track you, cloud sync, or upload entries to a developer server.
