Combine with Exhibits

Build a single, court-ready file from your main document plus its exhibits. Each exhibit gets a label stamped on it (Exhibit A, Exhibit B… or 1, 2…) and its own bookmark, so the finished file is easy to navigate.

Why you'd use it

You've got a motion and a folder of exhibit PDFs. Assembling them by hand — stamping each one, putting them in order, adding bookmarks — is slow and easy to get wrong. This does it in one pass.

How to do it

1. Open your main document.
2. In the Legal tools, choose Combine with Exhibits. Your open document shows as the Main document.
3. Click Add exhibits... and select the exhibit PDFs.
4. Put them in order with the up and down arrows; remove any with the trash icon.
5. Set how they're labeled and click Build Binder.

You choose the file where the finished binder is saved. Your original documents aren't changed.

The options

• Identifier style — Letters (Exhibit A, B, C…) or Numbers (1, 2, 3…).
• Prefix — the word before the identifier. Default is "Exhibit"; you can set anything, like "Plaintiff's Exhibit."
• Placement and Position — put the stamp in the Header or Footer, aligned Left, Center, or Right.
• Stamp pages — stamp the First page only of each exhibit, or Every page.
• Slip sheets — optionally insert a separator page before each exhibit.

Every exhibit is bookmarked automatically, whether or not you use slip sheets.

What to know

• The binder is a new file. Your main document and exhibits stay as they are; the assembled binder is saved separately.
• Order is what you set. Exhibits are labeled in the order shown, top to bottom — so arrange them before you build.
