Bates numbering file order

I am trying to bates number 200 documents- named 1-200 in order. When I add the files to be bates stamped, adobe sorts them 1, 10,11, 12 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. How do I get around this???

I have the same problem, on a Windows system. The Bates numbering works fine, but the system will not rename the files. I cannot get it to work. Anyone have a solution? Using version 9.1.3 Pro for Windows.

Bates Numbering/File Rename not working ver 9.1.3

I am trying to apply Bates numbering to a series of documents for document production in a litigation matter that I am handling. I want to apply Bates numbers and also rename the documents with the Bates range of the documents included in each document.
The version of Acrobat on my Windows system is version 9.1.3. In that version, the Bates numbering appears as it should in the right place on each page, but Acrobat will not rename the file names with the Bates range. When I try the exact name thing with the same files on another computer in my office, running version 9.0, everything works fine, and the file names are approrpriately changed to the Bates range of the numbers within the file.
Something appears to have been changed in making version 9.1 that has messed up the ability of Acrobat to rename the files when applying Bates numbers.
Anyone have any information on this or a solution?

I have no idea, other than LR wasn't designed to handle anything but images that cameras rendered. I was surprised to learn LR even played the audio file.
Your question was clear; I read it badly.
AFAIK, you'll have to manually name the audio file, but since each one is a custom job, it shouldn't be too onerous.

What to do if Add Header/Footer tool and Bates Numbering tool both get error message? File too big?

Hello,
I'm working with a 700 page / 103 Mo PDF that I need to put page numbers on. Both the Header/Footer tool and the Bates numbering tool result in error messages.
'An error occurred while retrieving the contents of the page.'
I suspect this is because the PDF was made by assembling 30 smaller PDFs via Preview and never down-sized during the process. I would imagine that would create a kind of clunky file. Or maybe it's simply the size that is overloading the software.
Does anyone have any advice on a fix or a workaround for this? I need to put page numbers on. I really want to put them on the composite PDF (going back to the 30 original PDFs would be a real headache for a lot of reasons.)
Thanks!

Hi Eliza,
Your suspicion is right. It might be possible that assembling different pdf's together created from different applications might be the issue.
Try printing the pdf to Adobe pdf printer and then try adding the page numbers and check.

Adding Bates numbers to PDFs increases file size by 10x - How to keep original size?

I have a lot of email texts that I converted from Word to PDF and then Bates numbered.
However, Bates numbering made each email's file size go from about 50kb to 500kb.
Once I combine these larger files for uploading to a docket, at the maximum allowable file size is 4 Mb, I can put together only 8-10 emails at a time. What to do to keep the original file size small when Bates numbering?

Hi paulu40695891,
Yes, there is a significant increase in the file size when one applies bates numbering to the pdf and saves it.
A workaround for this issue would be to save the pdf file again as reduced size pdf. (File -> Save as other -> Reduced Size PDF. )
Does that helps with your issue? Please revert back for any further query or assistance.

When bates numbering a .pdf in XI, how can I change the file name to include the bates number AND its name? I know under file output, there is an option for either/or. I want both. Thank you.

How many sheets can you save in a Numbers file?

Hi folks. I am desperate for help. I have a very important Numbers file that I am working with, where I need to add 289 "sheets" to a single file. Everythign was fine, until I am trying to add my 146th sheet. When I add that next sheet, It will no longer auto save or let me manually save!
I can't find any file size or number of sheet limits.
What can I do? I really must have each sheet on the same file.
Please advise.
Drew

Drew,
According to the following discussion, Yvan Koenig states that you can have 255 Tables per Sheet and 255 Sheets per Document:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7813797#7813797
In my opinion, anything approaching this order of magnitude belongs in an Office or Office-clone app. Numbers is bound to choke sooner or later with this much data.
If you are certain that you haven't hit one of these limits, there may be other reasons you can't save that we can't guess with the information that you provided.

Removal of Bates numbering in Adobe Acrobat Pro X

We can't remove the bates numberings in our PDF docs. When we try to we get a message that says
"Acrobat cannot find any Bates Number in this file. If you see Bates Number information, it was not added in Acrobat or by an Adobe PDFMaker, and cannot be detected as such"
Is there another way to remove this?
The docs we're working on are scanned.

Obviously, the previous answers are correct. Since the Bates numbers are simply image content at this point, your options are limited. In addition to the redaction tool, however, if the Bates numbering text is clean and positioned away from other content, you may be able to OCR the document, then use the Search and Redact function in Acrobat to remove the Bates numbers.
The only other option (assuming the placement of the Bates numbering is extremely consistent, such as those applied with Acrobat or a similar tool) would be the use of the custom redaction template feature in a 3rd party plug-in by Evermap called AutoRedact. This software would allow you to create a custom template that could then be applied to each page, at which point the image content contained within the resulting rectangle annotation could be redacted.
Disclosure: I have no affiliation of any kind with Evermap, but did address the use of several of their products in my book, "The PDF Litigation Guide."
Hope that helps!

In Adobe 8 how do you create a bates log file?

I love this feature in Adobe 9 where one can select "output options" and change the way the bates stamped PDF is saved, to create a log file of bates numbers per document, etc. Are these same output options and bates log file options available in Adobe 8? Basically, how do I create a bates log file in Adobe 8?

This is a great utility---thanks for sharing it! The Javascripts folder can be hard to find--here's what worked for me:
For Macbook Pro users using Acrobat Pro X with OS X version 10 or greater, you’ll want to copy the unzipped “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” file into the JavaScripts folder located in this path:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts
*** IMPORTANT: To be able to see the Contents folder, you must Right-Click (Ctrl-Click if you don't have a right button) on the filename "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app", then select Show Package Contents from the pop-down menu. The Contents folder will appear in a new window and you can navigate to Contents/Resources/JavaScripts, and put the “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” into the JavaScripts folder.
Once you've done that, restart Acrobat Pro and you'll find the "Flatten" option in your Edit menu. VERY handy! Tip: might want to save your original PDF file as a different version just to be safe---once you flatten the PDF, it can't be undone, so either just print and don't save, or save as different version if need be.

Retrieve data from one numbers file and insert it in another?

My goal is this: I want to essentially link two numbers files. I need data from several different tables in different sheets to automatically populate cells in a totally separate numbers file.
Here is why: I have very detailed orders that all feed (link) to summary pages that are shared with clients. I also need that same summary information, however, to feed to another file that calculates the margins. The summary pages (sometimes dozens of pages) are critical for clients to see, but as you can imagine, the margins tables must never be seen by the clients. My preference is to have them be totally separate files so it eliminates the possibility of the margins table every being accidentally sent to clients.
I'm wondering if applescript is the only or best way to accomplish this, or if there might be a more simple solution.
Thanks in advance.
Bob

It may be done with a script but as I have no info about the structure of the document and about which values must be passed, I can't help you.
More, I doubt that you are sending the Numbers document to your clients because this app isn't widely used.
My guess is that you print the file in a PDF.
The number of pages in the PDF will dramatically change if you include the sheets containing the margins so, it would be easy to check if you built a wrong document.
To do the trick with a script, it seems that the easiest scheme would be:
duplicate the original file
add the columns required for the calculations
create the formulas and insert them
copy the relevant columns
paste them in the original document.
I'm reluctant to work this way. The risk of errors is too big.
Here is an alternate scheme.
In your document, change the layout so that columns which are supposed to be seen by clients are contiguous.
This way, you may easily hide the columns which you want to keep 'secret'.
I don't know the way you are working but with a bit of luck, once the formulas are built, maybe you have no need to unhide the 'margins columns'.

Bates Numbering Error Message

I am trying to Bates number a large pdf file using Adobe Acrobat Professional 9, but I get the following error message:
"an error was encountered while retrieving page content." Has anyone else encountered this message? Is there a limit to the number of pages in a pdf that Adobe Professional 9 will number?

I have the exact problem. Oddly, if you print the document and rescan, it will take the bates numbers. I think it has something to do with "newer" pdfs (i.e., created with a newer version of adobe). However, I have had no luck fixing it. Would love a suggestion!!
BTW - there is no page limit for numbering. That is definitely not the problem.

Bates numbering odd even pages on right left sides of page

with acrobat 9 pro is there a way to bates number files with numbers on the right side of the page with
odd numbered pages and on the left side of the page for even numbered pages. when printed and bound into a book would like to have the bates on the outer edge of the pages.

Thanks for the link. The following are a couple of quotes pulled from it:
> The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta's book Brahmasputha Siddhanta, [19] written in 628.
> The Indian numeral system (base 10) reached Europe in the 11th century, via the Iberian Peninsula through Spanish Muslims the Moors, together with knowledge of astronomy and instruments like the astrolabe, first imported by Gerbert of Aurillac. For this reason, the numerals came to be known in Europe as "Arabic numerals". The Italian mathematician Fibonacci or Leonardo of Pisa was instrumental in bringing the system into European mathematics in 1202
I have read several articles and a book (The nothing that is, by Robart Kaplan) on the subject right around the turn of the millenium. I was flabbergasted by the arguments of those that wanted to jump start it a year early.
In the book was a humourous quote of a 14th century European mathematician trying to explain what a zero was exactly and how it was used in simple arithmetic. It seems so obvious to us now that people have a hard time accepting that it wasn't always there.

Bates numbering error

I am having trouble bates stamping. I am working with 4300 files. When I select "replace file name with starting and ending bates number" option I get an error when I complete the process that says "The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder".

I have the exact problem. Oddly, if you print the document and rescan, it will take the bates numbers. I think it has something to do with "newer" pdfs (i.e., created with a newer version of adobe). However, I have had no luck fixing it. Would love a suggestion!!

Bates numbering

I am trying to add Bates numbering to a document which I have done hundreds of times. Now, I go through the process and get a message saying, "Bates numbering has been successfully applied" BUT there is nothing one the pages. I have tried almost 20 times as have others in my office......
I don't know what to do - we use this tool often.

Hi,
Is this happening with all files?
You can try re-creating it by printing to Adobe PDF printer and then apply bates number.

PSE9 Organizer File Order display

Before PSE9 if I chose to display the images in file order it did just that, no more.
In PSE9 displaying the images in file order imposes a selection on the images, So, if choose to look at a particular folder the it selects the files in that folder to the exclusion of files in all other folders.
In this screenshot I have clicked on a folder which has 17 files in it. It says at the bottom left of the screen that it has 'selected' 17 images out my 16000 files.
Now here is the same display in PSE8
The same 17 files from that folder are displayed, but them so are the ones in the following folder and I could scroll down through all 16000 of them without needing to select another folder. Note that there is no mention of 17 files having been selected at the bottom left hand corner.
All I specified was a display order, not a selection of which files to display.
It seems that in PSE9 if I want to select images from an assigned tag the only way it can be done is to display the images in date order in the tagged files are in different folders. This is useless.
Please can anyone explain the logic in this 'update'?

I would love to go back to PSE8 as it worked perfectly.
Unfortunately I bought a new Nikon D7000 and PSE8 does not recognize it.
I was informed that I needed PSE9 to use my new Nikon.
Here is my post to a response that claimed I needed to do a 10-14 step workaround for an issue :
I realize that I sounded extremely negative BUT I have had Photo Elements since 2001.
I Never had a problem with any part of the software.
To me the main reason that individuals like me get Elements is because of its ease to work with compared to PhotoShop.
Let me list the problems that I am having :
Bridge
(1) The thumbnails do not show the picture
(2) You cannot attach to an email from Bridge.
(3) It now lists the file by date not consecutive numbering.
I contacted Nikon and they say it is a software issue not the camera.
Organizer :
(1)
It takes over an hour to load a picture from Elements (after you do a PP, even a simple crop) into organizer and it renders Organizer useless during the load process.
A window drops and says "Element Organizer is currently busy and cannot process the request".
Sometimes it shows the picture and says : "edit in progress" with a Lock symbol.
If you wanted to share or do anything else in Organizer you are stuck until it transfer the picture.
(2)
The email size has issues :
Big, medium level (slide bar with numbers) : never loads and I have to force quit Organizer and Mail
Very Big, medium level: looks like a postage stamp or never loads
Medium, any level size is Ok and what I have to use.
(3)
When I send a picture via email from Organizer from my ATT email address after it sends it, it puts it back in my MAC mail draft box.
I have to delete it and close mail out otherwise if I only delete it, it reappears again in the draft box.
(4)
I have not tried any of the other features, Facebook etc, Heaven only knows what else I would encounter.
(5) Periodic crashes of Organizer while in it.
(6)
The Notion that previously went from RAW edit to PSE for PP and the adjusted pictured stayed in Bridge or where I wanted to put it and now
Adobe decided that you need to use Bridge for RAW edit into PSE and then into another program (Organizer) is not the simplistic way it was originally designed for people like me.
(7)
These issues occur with both RAW and jPeg files.
In the past several PSE always had a separate MAC version that came out several months after the windows version.
This time they consolidated the versions and I am concerned that this was a mistake that is leading to these issues.
I am a MAC User and bought a new DLSR Nikon D7000, Which Adobe told me that I would have to upgrade to PSE 9 to allow Adobe to work with the D7000.
I am guessing that there are too many issues here and Adobe should have check any MAC issues and issued a separate software package.
If anyone from Adobe reads these posts and gets PSE 9 to work with a combined MAC and D7000 or just corrects their issues contact me so I can use this program again as I have used for 10 years with any issues.
Otherwise I will have to after the holidays be forced to look for new software.
Again I state that PSE was the easiest software I could use and now it is a nightmare.
I decided to drag and drop out of PSE to the desktop and load them in iPhoto and email from there.
Goodbye ORGANIZER !
Greg
I am not going to spend hours trying all kinds of gimmicks and 10 step workarounds which as a person with limited computer skills will only get into deeper trouble. I am already tired and frustrated spending the amount of time with this.
