Add Bates Numbers: questions

Which file types does Add Bates Numbers accept?
The drop area takes PDF. Files are read from your device in the browser, so the format has to be one a browser can decode — that is why the accepted list on this page is finite and honest rather than "everything".
What do I get back from Add Bates Numbers?
The result is PDF, offered as a download the moment the work finishes. Multiple results come back together rather than as fifty separate save dialogs.
Can I process several files at once?
Yes, up to 50 files in a batch, each no larger than 100 MB. Results come back together instead of one save dialog per file.
Where does the processing actually happen?
In this tab. The file is read locally, converted or edited locally, and handed back as a download — no copy is sent to a server, so there is nothing for anyone to breach or keep.
