Compiling Discovery Document Productions
During litigation discovery, legal teams produce thousands of documents to opposing counsel. Documents from emails, databases, and physical files must be converted to a uniform format, Bates-numbered, and organized into production sets.
Рабочий процесс
- Collect all responsive documents from various sources (email archives, file servers, physical files)
- Convert all non-PDF documents to PDF format using appropriate converters
- Use the PDF Merger to combine related documents into logical groupings
- Apply Bates numbering using the PDF Watermark tool with sequential numbering
- Use PDF Compression to manage the total production volume
- Create a production index listing each document's Bates range and description
- Deliver the production set to opposing counsel on encrypted media or secure transfer
