I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  I am bates stamping groups of documents.  What I am trying to do is rename each document with the bate range number, however, it creates a new document with the bates range and the separate original document is still there.  In Output Option I select "Replace File names with beginning and ending bates number" and I also select "Overwrite existing file", but it still creates a new document with the bate range and and the original document is still there.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a pic of the selection that I made.

This option doesn't mean the original file will be deleted. It means that if there's already a file with that name it will be overwritten by the new file. As a rule-of-thumb, Acrobat doesn't delete files.
