Turn your documents into one indexed evidence pack

Chats, photos, receipts, letters and statements as one indexed pack with lettered exhibits, in the order you choose, that somebody else can follow. What a court or tribunal accepts is for you, your representative or them to confirm.

Optional. Printed on the cover.

Leave at 1 unless you have been told to continue from an earlier volume. Any other start means the printed numbers no longer match the PDF's own page numbers.
As uploaded keeps each PDF page its own size. A4 or US Letter puts every page on that paper, shrinking anything bigger to fit.

How it works.

Exhibits here are lettered A, B, C. That is one way of marking exhibits, not the rule everywhere: in civil cases in England and Wales, Practice Direction 32 identifies exhibits to a witness statement or affidavit by initials and a number, and other courts and countries have their own conventions. So check what the court, tribunal or organisation you are sending this to expects before you build it. The pack gets a cover, an index whose entries link to the documents, page numbers running from front to back, a label on every document page and bookmarks. It does not run OCR, and it cannot tell you what to include. Getting the numbering right by hand in Word is where people lose an evening.

Step 1

Select your documents

Select all your PDFs and photos together. Photos go on their own page and are shrunk to fit if they are bigger than it, never stretched. PDF pages keep their own size unless you set Paper size to A4 or US Letter, which puts every page on that paper and shrinks anything bigger to fit.

Step 2

Name it and check the index

Give it a title and a reference if it has one. The preview shows the index with the page each document starts on, so you can check the running order before paying. It shows the index, not the pages themselves.

Step 3

Download the finished bundle

One PDF: cover, index, every page numbered continuously at the bottom centre, a small label box in the top right corner of each document page, and bookmarks down the side. The number and label are drawn on top of the page, so anything printed in those two spots can be hidden.

Trust, with receipts.

Questions, answered.

Can I put a chat transcript in it?
Yes. Run the chat through one of the chat tools here first, then add the PDF it gives you as one of the documents. It becomes its own lettered exhibit.
Why letters instead of numbers?
Because this tool is set up to letter them, and letters are one way exhibits get marked. It is not universal. In civil cases in England and Wales, Practice Direction 32 identifies exhibits by initials and a number instead. If you need numbers, the court bundle tool numbers them 1, 2, 3. Neither tool marks exhibits with initials.
Is the index clickable?
Yes. Every row in the index is a link to the first page of the document it names, and each document has a bookmark named from its file name. The England and Wales judiciary's general guidance on electronic court bundles asks for both.
Does it put things in date order for me?
No. It keeps the order you choose, because only you know the dates on the documents and guessing would be worse than useless.
Can it read scanned documents?
It puts them in as they are, but it does not run OCR, so a scan stays a picture and will not be searchable. If whoever you are sending it to wants searchable text, run OCR before uploading.
How do I control the order of the documents?
Select every file together in one go, because picking a single file starts a fresh preview with only that file. Documents go in the order your browser hands them over, and browsers differ, so check the running order in the preview before you pay. Numbering the file names, like 01 Receipt and 02 Letter from landlord, makes it easy to check. The index names each document from its file name, number included.
Will you tell me what to put in it?
No, and that is deliberate. Putting your documents in order and giving them an index is a formatting job. Telling you what evidence to include, what it proves or what will be accepted is legal advice, and we are not lawyers. This assembles what you give it and nothing more.
What happens to my file?
It is deleted within 7 days, along with the finished PDF. It is used to make your file and nothing else. Nobody reads it.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, no subscription and no password. You upload, you see the result, you pay once if you want it.
