Use cases
Links Everywhere
Tired of manually looking up references? Maybe the judge is too. PdfClerk automatically converts references to clickable links in your briefs, case outlines, and other documents. Handy when you prepare, convincing when you present.
Bundle Court Submissions
PdfClerk can bundle court submissions (briefs, motions, pleadings, etc) and their exhibits and automatically create links to the exhibits from where they are referenced.
Individual Files
You can add stamps to individual exhibits, rename all files to fit a pattern and add frontpages to individual documents. Since everything is based on metadata from the document list you can process hundreds of files in one go.
Stamp Ehibits
PdfClerk can extract exhibit numbers from the filename and insert them as stamps on each of the exhibits. Stamps can include graphic elements like borders, solid or transparent backgrounds and company logo.
Build Using Excel
PdfClerk can read and write files and metadata using Microsoft Excel format. This allows binders to be assembled using a powerful tool familiar to most people.
Update Existing Binders
PdfClerk can update existing binders with headers & footers and bookmarks based on metadata from existing bookmarks or Excel. PdfClerk can split a binder based on its bookmarks.
Indexes
Use Clerk Links to create fully customizable clickable tables of contents for all the documents in a case, ‒ or just for the ones that matter. The table of contents is based on customizable Word or HTML templates.
Transform Links
PdfClerk can update links in existing binders to target other locations or transform links from one link type to another.
Other
PdfClerk is highly customizable and can create all kinds of hyperlinked document sets: court bibles, litigation bundles, transaction bibles, due diligence reports, agreement sets, compliance documentation and other document collections.
