ExhibitPrep vs Final Exhibits 2
A browser alternative to a Windows desktop workflow. Compare how you prepare, review and reuse an exhibit set.
Inspect the finished PDF before choosing
Our fictional demonstration matter includes source documents, a stamped packet, a clickable contents page and a revised packet. Open the PDF, follow its contents links and inspect the labels. Then open the same matter in the tool to see how it was prepared.

The practical differences
Both tools add exhibit labels and page numbers and process documents locally. The clearest platform difference is that Final Exhibits requires Windows desktop installation; ExhibitPrep runs in a browser. Compare the review and reuse workflow as well as the platform.

Keep Final Exhibits when it fits your Windows workflow
Its documentation describes reusable case profiles, a sticker editor, page-number positioning and export options. If those controls already fit your work, test any replacement against the settings and output you rely on. A browser workflow is a different option, not a reason to discard a working process.
Try ExhibitPrep when you want browser preparation
Prepare a set on Mac, Windows or iPad, inspect the export before purchase, and choose a per-set download or another plan. For a combined bundle, check its clickable contents page and optional per-exhibit page labels in the prepared sample.
A careful way to evaluate switching
- Keep the existing Final Exhibits project and all original source PDFs.
- Prepare a copy of a small set in ExhibitPrep. Recreate the sequence, caption text and placement you want.
- Compare the finished output page by page in a PDF reader, including multi-page numbering and navigation.
- Confirm how saved work and future revisions fit your process before changing your subscription.
An existing app project is not automatically converted by uploading its PDFs. The point of the evaluation is to check the actual result, without relying on a feature tick or a speed estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Final Exhibits work on Mac?
The vendor lists Windows 10 or later and says Final Exhibits is not compatible with Macs. ExhibitPrep runs in a Mac browser without installing Windows software.
How are the tools sold?
Final Exhibits offers annual Lite and Full subscriptions, with Full listed at $95/year. ExhibitPrep offers free preview followed by a per-set download or a Day Pass, Monthly or Annual plan.
Can I bring a Final Exhibits project into ExhibitPrep?
Use your original PDFs to evaluate ExhibitPrep and recreate the labels and ordering you need. Keep your existing project and delivered PDFs until you have checked the new output; this is not an automatic project conversion.
How should I compare the output?
Use the same small set of source PDFs in both tools. Check labels, placement, page numbers and combined-file navigation in the downloaded PDFs. ExhibitPrep provides a fictional prepared packet you can inspect before using your own files.
