  1. Enter the bundle title, case name and claim number. A page number prefix and divider pages are optional.
  2. Choose your PDFs. They are read on your own computer and never uploaded.
  3. Give each document a description and date for the index, and put them in order with the arrows.
  4. Add section headings if you need them, such as A. Statements of case.
  5. Choose Build bundle: one PDF with a hyperlinked index, a bookmark for every document and continuous page numbers.
  6. Download the bundle, open it and check it before you file it.
Before you start. Documents must be PDFs without password protection. Scanned documents should already be text-searchable (OCR), which most scanners and PDF editors can do; this tool does not add OCR. Always follow any directions given by the court in your case, and check the finished bundle before filing.

Leave blank for plain page numbers.

2. Add documents

Drag PDFs here, or

Sections group documents in the index and bookmarks, for example A. Statements of case, B. Witness statements. Documents after a heading belong to that section.

About this tool

The court e-bundle builder combines your PDFs into a single electronic bundle in the format the judiciary's guidance on PDF bundles asks for, without uploading anything.

What it produces

  • One PDF containing every document, in the order you set, grouped under your section headings.
  • An index at the front, listing each document with its description, date and page number, and hyperlinked so a click takes the reader to the document.
  • A bookmark for every document, showing its date, description and page, grouped by section, so judges and advocates can navigate from the bookmarks panel.
  • Continuous page numbers running from 1, including the index pages, so the bundle page and the PDF page always match.

Who it is for

Litigators, paralegals and support teams preparing bundles for hearings, especially smaller teams without dedicated bundling software.

How it works

Choose your PDFs, put them in order, add section headings, and edit the description and date for each document as they should appear in the index. The bundle is built in your browser, on your own computer. Your documents are never uploaded or sent to us.

Before you file

  • The tool does not perform optical character recognition (OCR). Scanned documents should be made text-searchable before you add them.
  • Courts and judges can set their own requirements, for example in a court guide, a practice direction or an order. Always check what applies to your hearing, and check the finished bundle before you send it.
