Frequently asked questions
Does reordering affect Bates numbering already applied to pages?+
Yes — if Bates numbers are printed on pages, they will move with each page. Re-apply Bates numbers after reordering if sequential numbering is required.
Can I use this with a 500-page discovery bundle?+
Yes — the tool handles large PDFs. Free users are limited to 2 MB; Pro removes the size limit for large discovery bundles.
Will the reordered PDF meet court electronic filing requirements?+
The reorder operation doesn't alter fonts, images, or metadata. Run a PDF/A conversion if your jurisdiction requires ISO 19005 compliance.
