Legal Exhibit - Document Numbering

I would like to use Adobe Acrobat to "stamp" and number a collection of exhibits, and indicate the number of pages in each exhibit.  

 

For Example: 

 

Exhibit 1 - Each page of PDF should say somewhere in the header or footer [Exh 1 - 1,  Exh 1 -2, Exh 1 -3] 

Exhibit 2 - [Exh 2 - 1, Exh 2 - 2] 

etc.  

 

I know that I can use the Bates numbering tool to insert page numbers for each document, but I cannot seem to find a away for it to label each PDF with a static document number and consecutive page numbers.  I found an article that explained how to do this function in Adobe Acrobat X https://acrobatusers.com/assets/uploads/actions/Document_Numbering_Action.pdf

 

I know that I can use the Bates tool to do each document individual by entering the Exhibit number as a prefix, but I would prefer to do it as a batch to save time.

This can be done in Acrobat Pro using an Action and a custom-made script.

    thank you! do you have a source for a custom made script that will do this action?  i found the action wizard tool, but am not sure where to find a custom-made script.

      Hi SarahCFrey 

       

      We are sorry for the trouble. As described you want to apply bates number to multiple files.

       

      You may consider creating a portfolio of all the files and then try to apply the bates number across the portfolio and see it that works for you. For more info. please take a look at the help page (https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/bates-numbering-across-pdf-portfolio/index.html)

       

      Let us know how it goes

       

      Regards

      Amal

        Not quite what I am trying to do.  I don't want to consecutively number the pages amongst multiple documents.  I want to label all of the pages in each document with one number, but also insert page numbers for each of the pages in one document.
