Many legal applications require documents to have a sequential number, called a bates stamp, printed in a specific location on each page. Usually this requires the purchase of a much more expensive scanner that has a built-in printer, called an imprinter or endorser to print the number on the pages as they are scanned. However, if documents are being submitted electronically, the bates stamp does not have to be physically printed on the page. SimpleIndex‘s Electronic Imprinting feature lets you apply the bates stamp to the images after they are scanned, saving you thousands on specialized scanning hardware.

New in SimpleIndex v9.0 you can now apply image-based semi-transparent watermarks for PDF files to add logos, annotation, trademarks or backgrounds.

Electronic imprinting is also useful for anyone looking to apply annotation,  page numbering scheme, scan date, copyright notice or any other text to document images as they are scanned.
