Bates-number a PDF.
plume · local · edit/bates-numbering · works offline
Every page in your document set gets a sequential Bates number, running continuously from the first file straight through to the last. Add a prefix or suffix, set the start number and digit width, then apply. Each stamp is burned in as real selectable text, so the whole production stays searchable in any reader.
