CHAPTER 4

Pro Tips Get the best results every time • Compress after merging, not before — you'll get a cleaner final size.

• Redact, don't just black-out. Use PDF Redaction to remove text permanently.

• Flatten forms before sending contracts so they can't be altered — see Flatten PDF. • Keep originals. Work on copies so you always have the source file.

• On mobile? Every Confileo tool works in your phone browser — no app needed.
