Just Need Exhibit Stamping? Skip the Presentation Suite
ExhibitView is trial presentation software. If you just need to stamp and combine exhibits, ExhibitPrep does it for $4.99—with automatic TOC, Trial Binder Mode, and Mac support.
- ExhibitPrep costs $4.99 per stamping session; ExhibitView Trial Presenter is $599/year, with its PDF+ stamping add-on costing another $129.99/year.
- ExhibitView is courtroom presentation software with video playback, transcript sync, and live annotation; exhibit stamping requires its separate PDF+ add-on.
- ExhibitPrep runs in any web browser on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook; ExhibitView is primarily Windows software with limited Mac support.
- ExhibitPrep generates a clickable table of contents when combining exhibits; ExhibitView does not offer automatic TOC generation.
- ExhibitPrep's Trial Binder Mode numbers pages within each exhibit (A1, A2, B1, B2), a format ExhibitView does not support.
- The two tools work together: stamp exhibits in ExhibitPrep, then import the stamped PDFs into ExhibitView for courtroom presentation.
The honest take
ExhibitView is a real, long-running courtroom presentation package — Trial Presenter for display and annotation, TranscriptPro for transcript sync, and PDF+ tacked on as a $129.99/year add-on for stamping. That structure gives away the priority: stamping is an afterthought bolted onto presentation software, not the core product. At $599-$729/year combined and Windows-only (Mac only via a VM workaround), it's a heavy lift if exhibit stamping is actually your main need. ExhibitPrep does that one job for $4.99, natively on Mac.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ExhibitView stamp exhibits?
ExhibitView offers PDF+ as an add-on tool for exhibit stamping, but its primary purpose is courtroom presentation. ExhibitPrep is purpose-built for exhibit stamping with batch processing, automatic TOC, and Trial Binder Mode.
Does ExhibitView work on Mac?
ExhibitView is designed for Windows. It will run on a Mac via Boot Camp or Parallels with Windows installed, but there's no native Mac version. ExhibitPrep works natively in any browser on Mac, Windows, iPad, or Chromebook.
Is ExhibitView worth it just for exhibit stamping?
No. ExhibitView Trial Presenter is $599/year for the base license, and its PDF+ stamping add-on costs another $129.99/year — nearly $730/year combined. Its value is in courtroom presentation, video playback, and transcript sync (TranscriptPro), not stamping. For exhibit stamping alone, ExhibitPrep's $4.99/use is dramatically more affordable and purpose-built for that one task.
Can I use ExhibitView and ExhibitPrep together?
Yes. Use ExhibitPrep to stamp exhibits with automatic numbering and TOC generation, then import the stamped PDFs into ExhibitView for courtroom presentation.
