You can add them from the create multiple file dialogue screen. Or, you can first select them by using the ctrl + click (select individual files in the same folder) or shift + click method (select first file then select the last file - all files in between will be selected). Then right click one of the selected files and select create multiple file pdf.

Thanks as always, Jonathan!  

Here is the article on how to Create a PDF or combine multiple files into a PDF.

Thank you for the response. I was hoping there was a way without having to combine the documents.

Just select a single document, right click it, and select create multiple file pdfs. Then keep the single pdf and add bates stamp.

Exactly what Jonathan said!  It is found under the multiple file pdf feature but you can just choose one document!  I will remember where you left off when going to do the next document.

Yes, you can add Bates labels to multiple PDF files in one run. For this, use a PDF Bates numbering tool that supports adding a full PDF folder or multiple PDF files at once. Softaken PDF Numbering Software can work for this case. Add the required PDF files or PDF folder, enter the Bates label details, then set prefix, suffix, font style, font size, color, and label position. It also supports page-based Bates numbering and file-page series, which is useful when documents belong to one case or record set. Before saving, use the preview option to check how the Bates labels will appear on the PDF pages. After checking the preview, generate and save the numbered PDF files in the selected location.
