MaskIt masks page areas of PDFs so that anything that would normally display or print in that area will no longer appear. However additional items that might be added to the PDF later, such as text output from Impress and Impress Pro (both sold separately), will display.

MaskIt can create masks that remove information from either inside a defined area, such as a graphic or logo, or outside an area (e.g., remove headers and footers from a page but leave everything else on the page intact).

Features:

• mask areas internally or externally to a defined area;

• mask across multiple pages;

• mask odd and even pages;

• define distribution to page ranges;

• save masks for future use; and

• easily define masks using the mask tool.
