How to Use Batch Processing to Speed Up the PDF Exhibit Labeling Process

Preparing trial exhibits shouldn't be tedious. Yet many legal teams still add stamps to PDFs using Adobe or other slow, clunky software options. Others use physical stickers and scan the exhibits back in to create a digital copy. That is a slow and error-prone process.

Exhibit Flow is easy-to-use legal automation software that makes exhibit preparation fast, consistent, and professional. Instead of spending hours adding stickers the old-fashioned way, our exhibit sticker software allows you to process hundreds of PDFs in seconds with a single click.

Automation Saves You Time

Adding digital exhibit stickers is often a major pain point. Legal professionals are frequently stuck doing this work on a deadline, often the day before a deposition or trial. Stamping PDFs in Adobe individually or dealing with physical stickers is laborious and stressful.

Applying stickers on the fly during a proceeding is even worse. We have all seen attorneys fumble with a book of stickers or lose track of exhibit numbers, which breaks the "flow" of an otherwise effective witness examination. Pre-labeling your exhibits (made easy with our exhibit sticker software) avoids these issues entirely.

The Old Way: Adding Exhibit Stickers in Adobe

The traditional method involves using Adobe Acrobat to manually stamp PDFs. This usually requires a user to create blank stamp templates and fill them in for every single document.

This process is time-consuming and prone to human error, such as skipping a file or mixing up numbers.

The New Way: Automating the Exhibit Labeling Workflow with Exhibit Flow

With Exhibit Flow's digital exhibit sticker tool, applying correctly numbered or lettered stickers to all your exhibits takes just a few clicks:

• Choose your sticker style:

• Apply at scale (to all your exhibits)

• Check positioning before processing (and adjust sticker locations as needed)

  
  
  
  

Speed Up Your Exhibit Labeling

Manual processes generally take about 90 seconds per exhibit. In a moderately sized case, that means hours of non-billable work is spent solely on exhibit labeling.

Exhibit Flow can process hundreds of exhibits in under one minute.

The Bottom Line

Legal work is stressful enough without wasting hours on exhibit labeling tasks.

Exhibit Flow’s automated exhibit sticker software tool eliminates the hassle, allowing you to focus on your case strategy rather than your labels. Try it once, and you will never go back to the old way. Let software do the heavy lifting!
