Bate-stamping Documents

Adobe Acrobat is a pretty good Bate-stamping program for documents.  Under Rule 34, in responding to discovery requests, the documents are to be divided and you have to label what documents correspond with what question.  That being said, I still respond to some questions with see documents attached because the request is written so broad, I have no clue how to respond otherwise.  (i.e. Please produce all documents you contend are relevant.)  Bate-stamping documents saves a lot of time in trial when any question develops on whether a document was turned over in discovery.    It helps prevent the "I never got that" and you having to prove they did.
