Why do Bates start at 3 digits in Acrobat Pro DC?

[Angela2593785214ou]

There used to be a way to program Bates numbers to start at 1 or two digits.

Now the only option is  "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,"

Any reason why or work arounds to go less than 3 digits (ex: 01)

Hi @Angela2593785214ou 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

Its the design behavior of the application, 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, producing Bates numbers such as 000001, 000002, etc.

thank you. was hoping we could get to 2 digits so that the first numbers would be 01 instead of 000001.
