Exhibit Stamping That Works on Any Device
PdfClerk is a Mac-only desktop app. ExhibitPrep works on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook—with automatic exhibit numbering and Trial Binder Mode.
The honest take
PdfClerk is a solid Mac bundling app with auto-hyperlinking features. If you're Mac-only and need heavy document bundling with hyperlinks, PdfClerk is worth considering. But if you need automatic exhibit numbering, Trial Binder Mode, or Windows support—ExhibitPrep is the better fit.
