Bates Numbering

[Guest]

We need to send a document that contains Bates Numbering to another firm. We want them to have the ability to edit the document without having the ability to change the Bates Numbering. I used the Sanitize function without success. We also use an Outlook add-on (Mimecast) to scrub the metadata, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What kind of editing do you want them to be able to do?

As stated in my original description, we want the recipient to make changes/edits to everything in the document except for the Bates Number.

It's impossible to impose per-object security on a PDF file; if someone has editing rights they can do whatever they want.

That's not possible.
