Stukkenbundelaar and PiecesPerfect

Stukkenbundelaar is the bundle workflow inside Praxis (labelled Exhibit Bundler in English). It takes your exhibits, stamps every piece (stuk) with its number on the first page, straightens and resizes awkward scans, turns the inventaris der stukken into a clickable table of contents, and produces court, print, and compressed filing copies. Your original files are never modified.

PiecesPerfect™ is the original standalone, local-first desktop application. It provides the same core bundle and PDF-toolbox engine outside Praxis, with folders as input and no Praxis case required.

Which should I use? Use Stukkenbundelaar when the pieces already belong to a Praxis case. Use PiecesPerfect when you want the original standalone workflow, local folders, or a PDF toolbox without opening Praxis.
Preparation only Praxis and PiecesPerfect do not currently send files to e-Deposit or receive official receipts. Export the filing copy, verify the current official requirements, and submit it manually through the official service.

How It Works

  1. Number your files – name each exhibit with its piece number: 1. Overeenkomst.pdf, 2. Ingebrekestelling.pdf, … and 0. Inventaris der stukken.pdf for the inventory. Inside the available Praxis Web workspace, Exhibit Bundler can work from the case file
  2. Pick your stamp – choose a shape, color, size and position, or design your own. Your design is saved for next time
  3. Review – check the piece order and stamp placement in the live preview
  4. Produce – one click generates all four bundle versions

The Stamp Designer

Every court, and every lawyer, has a preferred look for exhibit stamps. Exhibit Bundler gives you full control over both appearance and placement:

Stamp designs export and import as a shareable code, so the whole firm can stamp with the same house style.

Smart Page Normalization

Real dossiers contain messy scans. Exhibit Bundler cleans them up automatically: landscape pages are rotated upright, and oversized pages — construction plans, plats, wide spreadsheets — are scaled to fit A4. The result is a bundle that reads and prints like a single, uniform document.

One Click, Four Purpose-Built Bundle Copies

A single production run generates four outputs, each tuned for how it will be used. Review the copy and the receiving court or portal's current requirements before filing:

Output What it is Use it for
Digital archive Full-quality bundle, nothing compressed Your dossier, sharing with counsel
Duplex print Blank pages inserted so every piece starts on a front side Double-sided printing for the paper bundle
Compressed filing copy Compressed for easier upload; verify the official portal's current limit yourself Manual upload to an external filing service
Compressed print Duplex-padded and compressed E-mailing a print-ready version

Clickable Inventory

The inventaris der stukken (piece 0) becomes a real table of contents: every entry in the inventory links to the page where that piece starts. Links use print-safe underlines, so the paper version looks just as clean. The bundle also gets a PDF bookmark per piece, so judges and clerks can jump straight to any exhibit from the sidebar of their PDF reader.

Dossier Integration

Inside Praxis Web, Exhibit Bundler pulls the pieces directly from the case file, with continuous stuk numbering across the dossier. No exporting, renaming or re-importing. Prefer to work outside Praxis? The standalone PiecesPerfect™ app works locally with any folder of numbered files.

Quick Tools (no case needed)

No bundle to produce? Exhibit Bundler also works as a quick PDF toolbox. Select any set of files — from a case or uploaded on the spot — and run one of three one-click utilities. Your originals stay untouched and the results are saved separately: to your Praxis Cloud in the browser, or to their own subfolder in the optional desktop app:
