Hello,

 

Dont know if this is possible, or if i can explain it well but I will do my best, as the current method we have is inificent and tedious if there is a way to have it improved to make things quicker it would be nice.

 

So here goes, ill try to be as simple as possible. Basically, I have a 3 page document that i need to make 50 unique copies of. Each copy of this document is identicle except for one simple aspect, each page of the document has a cerial number. So copy number will a cerial number of XXX1 on each page. The next document will have the same information but the cerial number will be XXX2. etc etc, until I have 50 document with cerial numbers from 1-50 recpectivly. The current process involves edditing each individual documents codes one by one until the process is completed.

 

My question is, if the above has been understood. Is there a way where I set it up where I will be able to save the document once, and it will generate 50 copies with the cerial numbers automatically changed, or is it simply not a feature that is supported??

 

Thanks for any help given,

George

Hi,

 

You may want to customize an action wizard with stamping and bates numbering.

 

In the following links you will find action tools that were developed with the bulk processing of legal documents in mind.

 

The filename stamper, for example, allow you to achieve something along the lines of what you are asking for, plus it is customizable amd free to download:
