Split a monolithic exhibit PDF into volumes that match Bates prefix ranges

Published

OCR vendors return one giant production—counsel still needs per-volume uploads under portal caps.

Document review platforms sometimes export productions as a single PDF even though court rules expect separate volumes per Bates prefix. Splitting by explicit page ranges lets you name outputs VOL001-000100-000199.pdf without re-running expensive OCR.

Record viewer page numbers while the review team still remembers exhibit boundaries.

Non-overlapping ranges

Double-check that each page index appears in exactly one export so Bates sequences stay contiguous for opposing counsel.
