I need to apply an exhibit number to many pages of legal exhibits. I would like to do it with a stamp of sorts.

I con't be the first person to ask how to do this. This "stamp" if there is such a thing must take the form of

RX-1, Page 1 of 5; RX-2, Page 2 of 5 etc.

Hi Stanley,

Are you using Acrobat DC? If so, please see the information on Bates Numbering here:

Add headers, footers, and Bates numbering to PDFs, Adobe Acrobat

I am following all the instructions in batestamping in Acrobat Pro DC but the numbers on the pdfs are not changing I tested 12 pdfs and they all had the same number printed on them.

When you are adding the Bates numbers, and dow the following steps, can you take a screen snapshot and show it here?

Click Insert Bates Number. Then enter the following:

In Number Of Digits, specify how many digits make up the Bates number, entering any number from 3 through 15. The default number is 6, which produces Bates numbers such as 000001, 000002, and so on.
In Start Number, enter the number to assign to the first PDF on the list. The default is 1.
In Prefix, type any text to appear before the Bates number.
In Suffix, type any text to appear after the Bates number.

Please show a snapshot of the dialog box showing the above items filled in.

Thanks,

Mike
