What you can do with the contract

How to cover details in a contract

  1. Upload the contract

    Drop in the PDF you are about to share.

  2. Cover what should not be read

    Draw an opaque box over each name, figure or clause detail you want hidden. The box becomes part of the page when you save.

  3. Work through every page

    Scroll the whole document rather than only the pages you remember — the same party name or account number usually appears more than once.

  4. Check the result on screen

    Look at each covered area to confirm nothing shows through at the edges, and that you have not covered something you needed.

  5. Save and download the copy you will send

    Download the covered version and keep your original untouched, so you always have the complete contract.

Why do it here

  • Faster than rebuilding the contract

    You hide a handful of details in the document you already have instead of producing a separate cut-down version.

  • The layout stays intact

    Page numbering, clause numbering and formatting are unchanged, so the recipient can still follow references.

  • Cover as much as you need

    There is no limit on how many areas or pages you cover in one document.

  • Your original is untouched

    The covered file downloads as a separate copy — the contract you uploaded is unchanged.

  • Nothing to install

    It runs in the browser, so it works on a machine you cannot install software on.

Used by contract managers, consultants and business owners preparing a contract to share with a third party.

How covering works

  • Covering places an opaque box over the content, so a reader does not see it on the page.
  • You can cover as many areas and as many pages as one document needs.
  • Your original stays untouched — the covered version downloads as a separate copy.
  • Covering hides content visually; it does not remove the text from the file.

Questions about hiding contract details

Draw an opaque box over each name, figure or clause detail you want kept out of view, then save. The covered version downloads as a separate copy and your original stays as it was.

You can cover any part of a contract so it is hidden from anyone reading the page, which is what most teams need before sharing a draft. The covering shape becomes part of the copy you download; the text stays in the file underneath.

It adds an opaque shape over the area you selected, so the content is hidden from anyone reading the page. The text itself stays in the file underneath.

Yes. Cover as many areas on as many pages as you need in one document. Go through every page — a party name or an account number is rarely on just one.
