Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bates Numbering for Students completely secure and private?

Yes. PDFixo utilizes a unique client-side in-memory architecture. Your documents are processed entirely inside your web browser sandbox using WebAssembly and Web Workers. Your files are never uploaded to, saved on, or viewed by our servers.

Do I need to install software or register an account?

No installation, extension, or account registration is needed. You can use this utility directly on any device including Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android completely free.

Will formatting or quality be degraded?

No. Vector geometries, embedded fonts, layers, and color profiles are strictly maintained to ensure professional fidelity and compliance.

There are zero artificial paywalls or document limits. Because computation runs locally on your device, processing capacity is limited only by your browser's available memory.
