When to use it

A contract leaving the office must not carry what the recipient should not see. This recipe blacks out e-mail addresses, phone numbers and ID or card numbers for good (the text under the box is removed, not hidden), fixes everything into the page, removes author details and locks the file with a password you type when you run it. Check the boxes before sending: detection by pattern can miss or over-match.
