safe, efficient distribution to customers, vendors or any other audience
not qualified to see the complete content.
It could be used to remove a Social Security number or banking details easily.
As usual you can print to priPrinter from any application and print your pages to physical printer.
a) If you want to redact text, select Redact mode by clicking on the Redact button: . You may use Ctrl+R shortcut as well.
