LegalExhibitStickers ($49.99)
Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. True cost: $290/year (with free Reader) or more with Pro.

The honest take
If you already pay for Adobe Acrobat Pro and use it for other tasks (document editing, OCR, form creation), then Acrobat-based plug-ins like E-Sticker can be a reasonable add-on. But if you're paying $240/year only to run exhibit stamping software, ExhibitPrep eliminates that unnecessary cost entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stamp exhibits without Adobe Acrobat?
Yes, ExhibitPrep is a standalone exhibit stamping tool that works entirely in your web browser. Unlike E-Sticker, LegalExhibitStickers, and Exhibit Master which require Adobe Acrobat ($240/year), ExhibitPrep needs no additional software.
What do I need to run ExhibitPrep?
ExhibitPrep requires only a modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge). No downloads, no installations, no plug-ins. Simply visit exhibitprep.app/tool and start stamping immediately.
Why do most exhibit stamping tools require Acrobat?
E-Sticker, LegalExhibitStickers, and Exhibit Master are built as Adobe Acrobat plug-ins. They extend Acrobat's functionality but require a paid Acrobat subscription ($239.88/year for Acrobat Pro) to run. Browser-based tools like ExhibitPrep work independently.
How much does it cost to stamp exhibits without Acrobat?
With ExhibitPrep, you can stamp exhibits for as little as $4.99 per session (Single Use) or $14.99 for a Day Pass. Compare this to $240/year for Acrobat plus $50-190 for plug-in software—a total of $290-430 in the first year.
Does ExhibitPrep have all the features of Acrobat plug-ins?
ExhibitPrep includes everything you need for exhibit stamping: 26 professional templates, batch stamping, automatic TOC generation, Trial Binder Mode, slipsheet creation, and PDF combining. Unlike Acrobat, it's purpose-built for legal exhibit preparation.
