Court bundle PDF maker
Make a court bundle or paperbook: one PDF with a clickable index, bookmarks for each document, and page numbers that match the index.
What you can do
- Merge the petition, annexures and scans into one PDF, in order.
- NightOwl suggests bookmarks from headings such as ANNEXURE P-1; rename, nest or add your own.
- Add an index page made from the bookmarks, each entry a link to its page.
- Number the pages, or add Bates numbers, headers and footers.
- Make scanned pages searchable in Hindi, Marathi, English and 18 more languages, then download as PDF/A if your court prefers it.
How to do it
- Open Court-bundle index and choose your PDF, or merge the documents first.
- Check the bookmarks: one for each document in the bundle.
- Add the index page and the page numbers.
- Download the bundle.
Good to know
- The court-bundle index and Bates numbers: 5 files a week with a free account (from Monday); the trial and Professional have no weekly limit. Plain page numbers are always free.
- Rules change: check your court’s current notices before filing.
- Works in your browser. Scans you choose to read on our India server aren’t kept. Private mode keeps everything on your device.
- Tested with a 520-page, 128 MB scanned bundle on a laptop. Very large files need a computer with enough memory; phones manage less.
Questions
Can the index come from bookmarks I already have?
Yes. The index is made from the PDF’s bookmarks, so a file that already has them gets an index at once.
Are the index entries clickable?
Yes. Each entry is a link to its page in the downloaded PDF.
