Build an Exhibit Package โ€” Labeled, Ordered, and Bates-Numbered

Arrange your exhibits, assign labels, and Bates-number them โ€” entirely in your browser with Local Mode, or with divider pages, a clickable index, an exhibit log, and a Filing Preflight check in Full Mode.

How the Exhibit Package Builder works

Quick Start
  1. 1

    Add and arrange your exhibits

    Upload every document, drag to reorder, and assign a label (A/B/C or 1/2/3) and an optional friendly name to each.

  2. 2

    Choose Local or Full Mode

    Local Mode never uploads anything. Full Mode adds divider pages, a clickable index, an exhibit log, and an optional Filing Preflight check.

  3. 3

    Build and download

    Get back your combined, Bates-numbered PDF โ€” plus (in Full Mode) the original files and a CSV exhibit log with Bates ranges.

Two Honest Modes

Local Mode vs. Full Mode

Local Mode is a real, complete result on its own โ€” not a degraded preview of Full Mode.

Local Mode

  • Merge and reorder exhibits
  • Continuous Bates numbering
  • Optional basic bookmarks
  • Zero upload, zero network calls
  • No divider pages or case captions
  • No clickable index or exhibit log
  • No Filing Preflight check

Full Mode

  • Everything Local Mode does
  • Divider pages with case caption
  • Clickable exhibit index
  • CSV exhibit log with Bates ranges
  • Optional Filing Preflight check
  • Uploads your files to build the package

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about building an exhibit package

What is the difference between Local Mode and Full Mode?

Local Mode merges, reorders, and Bates-numbers your exhibits entirely inside your browser โ€” your files are never uploaded anywhere. Full Mode uploads your files to build divider pages with a case caption, a clickable exhibit index, a CSV exhibit log, and (on request) a Filing Preflight check โ€” real server-side capabilities Local Mode genuinely cannot do.

Does Local Mode produce a lesser result than Full Mode?

No โ€” Local Mode produces a real, complete merged and Bates-numbered PDF. It's a smaller, honest result (no dividers, index, or exhibit log), not a degraded version of Full Mode's output.

What does the Filing Preflight check actually check?

It flags embedded JavaScript, suspected unapplied redactions, leftover document metadata, GPS data in embedded images, password protection, and inconsistent page sizes โ€” tagged as confirmed issues, potential issues, or informational. It does not certify a document as compliant, safe, or court-ready; review every finding yourself.

Can I continue an existing Bates numbering sequence?

Yes โ€” set "Start numbering at" to the number right after your last exhibit's final Bates number, in either mode.

What happens to my files in Full Mode?

Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed to build your package, and deleted after processing โ€” see PDFCourt's security page for details.

Does the exhibit log replace the clickable index?

No โ€” they're complementary. The clickable index is a linked page inside the combined PDF itself; the CSV exhibit log is a separate spreadsheet-friendly file listing each exhibit's label, friendly name, page count, starting page in the combined document, and Bates begin/end range, for anyone who needs the data outside the PDF.
