PdfClerk is a Windows-only desktop app. ExhibitPrep works on Mac, Windows, iPad, and Chromebook—with automatic exhibit numbering and Trial Binder Mode.

Key facts at a glance

PdfClerk is a Windows-only desktop application with no published subscription price; ExhibitPrep runs in any browser for $4.99 per use.
ExhibitPrep numbers exhibits sequentially and automatically (1, 2, 3 or A, B, C); PdfClerk offers customizable stamps and headers but not automatic sequential exhibit numbering.
ExhibitPrep includes 26 pre-built legal templates such as Plaintiff's Exhibit, Defendant's Exhibit, Joint, and Deposition.
ExhibitPrep's Trial Binder Mode applies per-exhibit page numbering (A1, A2, B1, B2); PdfClerk has no equivalent legal-specific feature.
PdfClerk autolinks text references like "Exhibit A, page 10" into clickable hyperlinks across a bundle, a feature ExhibitPrep does not offer.
Both tools process files locally on the device rather than uploading to a cloud server, though PdfClerk requires Windows installation while ExhibitPrep runs in any browser.

The honest take

PdfClerk's autolinking—turning "Exhibit A, page 10" into an actual clickable link across a bundle—is a genuinely useful, specific feature for hyperlinked court bibles, and it shares ExhibitPrep's local-only processing. But it's Windows-only, has no published price, and doesn't apply sequential exhibit numbers or legal templates. If you need exhibits numbered and stamped for filing, ExhibitPrep does that job for $4.99; PdfClerk fills a real gap afterward if you need a hyperlinked, cross-referenced bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PdfClerk work on Mac?

No — the current PdfClerk (pdfclerk.com) is a Windows desktop application with no Mac version. ExhibitPrep works on any device with a web browser—Mac, Windows, iPad, or Chromebook.

Can PdfClerk automatically number exhibits?

PdfClerk's standout feature is autolinking — converting text like "Exhibit A, page 10" into a clickable hyperlink — plus customizable stamps and headers. It doesn't apply automatic sequential exhibit numbers (1, 2, 3... or A, B, C...) the way ExhibitPrep does.

How does pricing compare?

PdfClerk offers a free trial but doesn't publish subscription pricing on its site — you contact the vendor directly. ExhibitPrep publishes flat pricing: $4.99 per use, $14.99 for 24-hour access, or $39.99/month.

Does PdfClerk process files locally like ExhibitPrep?

Yes — PdfClerk explicitly processes documents on the local machine, so files never upload to a server. That's a genuine point of overlap with ExhibitPrep's browser-based local processing, even though the two tools solve different problems (hyperlinked bundling vs. exhibit stamping).
