What is BundlePro?

BundlePro is a new innovation to help law firms meet the new requirements associated with the electronic submission of CourtBooks. It integrates with LEAP to allow law firms to create professional, presentable, searchable and cost effective electronic PDF bundles for the courts in minutes.

BundlePro automatically converts large volumes of documents into a single PDF, complete with an auto-generated paginated index, bookmarks, hyperlinks and a cover page. The contents of the electronic binder is then run through a forensic OCR, making the text fully searchable.  Simple and user friendly, BundlePro will save you time and money. Once a bundle has been created, an automatic disbursement can be generated and saved back to your client’s ledger in LEAP, ensuring you recover any expenses incurred.
