Annotating statements with page numbers using PDF software

Annotating statements with the eBundle page number of documents referred to

It is of assistance to anyone using a hardcopy of the eBundle for the page number of each document referred to in a statement within the eBundle to appear in the right hand margin of the statement opposite the reference. If you are producing the eBundle the directions given by the tribunal may require you to do this.  If you receive an eBundle produced by someone else which does not already have such page number annotations you may wish to add them to your copy to make it easier to use. Annotation should be done in such a way (e.g. a PDF stamp consisting of, say, p.65 within a red box) that it is clear that the page number in the margin was not part of the statement when it was signed but has been added later simply to assist in navigation of the eBundle.

If the reference in the statement is already hyperlinked then by hovvering over the hyperlink you can see the page number and you can then use a PDF "stamp" to imprint the page number reference in the right hand margin. 

If the reference is not hyperlinked then in order to work out what the eBundle page number is you can either look in the index of the eBundle or you could do a "Find" on the bookmarks in the eBundle. 

Finally flatten the stamps.

Once the page number annotations have been added you can use standard PDF software to hyperlink the page references in the right hand margin which you have added, but you don't generally need to do this if the reference to the document is already hyperlinked.
