Court Bundles turns a pile of documents into a properly ordered, indexed and page numbered bundle. You arrange the documents in sections; Wizard Application builds the PDF, works out the page numbers and writes the index for you.
Create the bundle
-
Add a bundle
Open Court Bundles and add a new one. Give it a name, choose the client and enter the case reference, the court, the case type and the hearing date.
-
Choose the numbering
Pick how sections are labelled: letters (A, B, C), numbers, or roman numerals. Switch on subsections if you need sections inside sections.
-
Set up the index
Choose whether to include an index page at the front, whether it lists every document or just the sections, and whether each section gets its own index.
-
Set the page numbers
Choose where page numbers go, top or bottom and left, centre or right, how they read (1, Page 1, or 1 of 250), and a background behind them so they stay readable on scanned pages.
Add sections and documents
-
Add your sections
Add a section for each part of the bundle, such as Pleadings, Witness Statements and Correspondence. Drag them into order.
-
Add documents
Add documents to each section from your media library. Upload them there first if they are new.
-
Put them in order
Drag documents into the right order within a section, or move them to another section.
Build the PDF
When everything is in place, generate the bundle. Wizard Application combines every document into one PDF, numbers the pages and writes the index with the right page references. Preview it, then download it to file or serve.
Late document? Add it to its section and generate the bundle again. The page numbers and index are worked out afresh every time, so nothing needs renumbering by hand.
Similar case coming up? Duplicate an existing bundle to start with the same sections and settings. For more, see Court Bundles.
