How does the Court Pleading Formatter work?
Apply standard court-pleading formatting to a PDF: a centered court header at the top of page 1, the case number underneath, a left-justified parties caption, and an attorney signature block at the bottom of the last page. The tool draws on top of your existing PDF, so the body content stays untouched. Useful when you have a pleading body drafted in Word / Google Docs and you need to overlay the caption matter quickly without redoing the file in legal-formatting software.
