Get discovery files ready to hand over

Turn a pile of scans into searchable, numbered, redacted discovery files.

The problem

  • Incoming discovery is a mix of scans and exports with no consistent numbering or searchability.
  • Reviewing image-only scans is painfully slow without text search.
  • Privileged material must be pulled before production, accurately and provably.

The workflow

One licensed pipeline chains these steps end to end. Each step is a tool you can try free on the public site.

  1. 1

    Make scans searchable

    OCR PDF

    Add a text layer so reviewers can search every page.

  2. 2

    Number every page

    Bates numbering

    Apply Bates numbers for a defensible production reference.

  3. 3

    Redact privileged material

    Redact PDF

    Permanently remove privileged passages before production.

  4. 4

    Lock the production set

    Protect PDF

    Protect the produced bundle against further edits.

Try it free, right now

Every tool in this workflow is free on the public site — no signup, nothing uploaded. Run the steps by hand to see the output, then license the automated pipeline for your team.

Why run it on-premise?

Discovery material is some of the most sensitive a firm handles. An on-premise pipeline means scans, OCR text and redactions are all produced inside your own network — never uploaded.

The Business suite ships as a self-hosted bundle that runs inside your own network, so the documents in this workflow never leave the building. See how deployment works.

Outcome

Searchable, numbered, privilege-cleared discovery sets produced without a third party.
